What a year its been...

(A post from mom...Thanks Sarah for a great photo!)

I can't believe our brand new little baby Stella is now 13 months old! She is truly 17 pounds of pure delicious joy! She cracks us up more and more everyday. She's constantly singing and babbling. She loves baths, books, my purse, remote controls, cell phones and is starting to take more of an interest in her toys. She's still crawling, which surprises me. I thought she'd certainly be walking by now. Since day 1 (almost), all she wanted to do is stand and now after about a week of standing, all she'll do is fold her legs and sit! Stubborn little lovebug!

Anyway, she's an angel - we couldn't ask for a more perfect baby - and we thank our lucky stars everyday! I gathered some pics over the last year and posted a slide show. Enjoy!

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!
