Stella found her toys...I mean toes!

It seems like Stella has been making so many strides in the past week and I wanted to share them with you.  First, she has officially found her feet.  She no longer just looks at them but she is actually reaching and grabbing for them, which is awfully cute.  Matt still thinks I'm making it up because she hasn't done it in front of him but I'm not...she really does it all of the time and gets the biggest smile on her face like she just conquered the world.

Also since she is such a grown up little girl, we have ditched the swaddle.  It was sort of our fear that she would roll over soon and not have any arms to push up with, so in an effort to avoid that horrible scenario, we have switched from the swaddle to a sleep sack.  We were pretty nervous for that first night because she is such a great sleeper in her swaddle and we thought we were just asking for sleepless nights by making the switch but the little darling did a 6 hour stretch that first night and woke up as happy as a clam.  Here is a picture of the morning after her first night in her big girl sleep sack:

Her next big achievement for the weekend was being a good girl at her 3 month picture session with Kim Stadler.  We had such an amazing time during the session.  Stella was a good girl but refused to give a big smile and would occasionally start crying when Kim would lay her on her back.  I'm just amazed at what an amazing photographer Kim is! She has graciously allowed me to post a few sneak peek pictures of Stella.  You should definitely friend her on Facebook or visit her website to see more of her work - www.kimstadlerphotography.com

Stella's last major accomplishment of the weekend was watching the Seahawks game with her daddy.  She got a chance to sport her new Seahawks jersey and get in some good daddy, daughter cuddle time.



Who knows what surprises the next weeks have in store for us but we will be sure to keep you posted!
