No more high chair!

Pam Perry, This is for you...





Called OUT! My mom is such a slacker. Well, not really. I guess she's busy...taking interior design classes, freelancing, teaching me things, making sure I have fun - grown up stuff!
Anyway, we've been having a nice summer. I've been practicing my (few) words. I can draw & color without eating the crayons. I'm so big I don't even need a high chair anymore. I sit at the big table now. GROWING UP!

Summer in Seattle...

Its been a great summer so far! Mom is still staying home w/me. We play, play, play...go to the park, library, music class, story time, swimming... My new favorite thing is hanging out on our rooftop deck (yes, urban baby) - mom & dad got me a tiny little pool so I can swim (well, splash around). OH...I finally decided to walk! So much easier to stay clean when I'm not scooting all over the place, especially when outside. All this summer stuff & its not even July!! Go Seattle!!!

My recent trip to Indiana



We had a blast...spent a week in South Bend w/Gigi + Poppy. Poppy made me a BEACH in their back yard! We call it STELLA BAY (aka stella bae). Then we spent some time in Indianapolis w/cousin LAKE and my aunties & uncles and grandpops and gramma mimi. So fun...

My Name

STELLA = Italian for "star"
BAE = my mom loves the water, my dad wanted the name "Bailey" so they sort of met in the middle. Stella Bae.

About Me/How I Arrived

Well...the day finally came. 3am on Dec 6 - my mom's water broke. About 20 hours later my mom was ready to push me OUT! I wasn't in to this...I liked it in there, all warm & cozy. And I certainly didn't want to come out with a squished head! So I grabbed that cord thing and squeezed! All the doctors got worried & rushed my mom into the operating room for a C-section. The next thing I know, they were holding me under bright lights! Whhhaaaaaah!
