We had a great time in Andes for Thanksgiving, with the biggest crowd yet for dinner (12!). Thanks mostly to Aunt Kylle - who is so gorgeous pregnant, by the way - we have lots of great photos from the weekend.

Our new home
We've been in the new house since Friday and LOVE it! Stella and the cats seem to approve as well. I'll post more pictures once it's less of a disaster zone, but here's one I took on my phone on moving day and another Rob took from the street last month. Can't wait to see the Dogwoods bloom in the spring!

Them are some strong genes!
Stella and I went to have BLTs with my Grandma Bates today. I've been telling her lately how much Stella looks like her to me, so she dug up some baby pictures of herself at 4 months old to compare. WOW.

PED visit
Met with a new pediatrician today. I like her. Very matter-of-fact and like-minded about vaccinations, medications and nutrition.
Stella was weighed, measured, and shot (twice). She took the first one pretty well, but the second one got to her, poor thing. About 2 minutes of screaming later she was smiling and happy again, babbling at Grammie.
Not surprisingly, she's very healthy! I looked up her size on some growth charts tonight and she's above average in weight/height, even for a 4 month old. And also not surprisingly, her head circumference puts her in the 90th percentile! :)

New perspectives
Stella's already bored with the regular world. Now, she only wants to see it upside down.
She does this to all of us, but here are some pics of her making Daddy hold her like she likes.

Stella Rolls Over!
Late Saturday morning Daddy decided to give Stella some tummy time after changing her. Next thing he knew...she was on her back! Mommy and Grammie both witnessed roll over #2. And here's the video of attempt #3. Happy Halloween!

Video: New trick
Stella surprised us with a new trick today. She can't yet bat at things with her little arms, but she may have more control over her legs! Check this out~

House hunting turns serious
So...we put in an offer on a house today in Lake Claire!! The sellers have 24 hours to respond, and I'm not posting the link here for several reasons but we'll share it if we get the home. Wish us luck!

Goodbye, Boston
We're not saying goodbye to our friends - only goodbye to dear Boston, home to Rob and me for 10 and 9 years, respectively. We'll miss you, Beantown.
Since we won't see some of our dear friends again for some time, however, Seth organized a little send-off for us at a restaurant in the South End. Food and location were fantastic, but nothing beats a room full of unselfish folks wishing you the best as you're about to fly off 1,000 miles away. I don't know if we'll ever be able to replicate what we had in Boston in terms of the quality of our friends and neighbors but...that's what Delta is for. Love and miss you all already. Here are some photos of our send-off.

Photos: 10 days old and a budding supermodel
Stella had her pictures taken by a professional photographer at Day 10 - there were SO many good ones; I've tried to pick the best ones here for a broad representation. She was such a ham for the camera - see for yourself!

Back from vaca
We're back from vacation in Western Mass and Auntie Jess has now joined us! It was an amazing, relaxing week with Erica/Thor & Melissa/Ben/Dash, and we've decided to do it again next year. Thinking Austin, Texas, but we've got a while to nail it down!Stella was very adaptable - she went to the beach, played croquet, and went on two hikes. Busy gal!
Jess and Stella are busy getting acquainted - hopefully Stella will be in a little better mood tomorrow. She's a little tired from her adventures last week, we think!Stella in her resort wear:
