quick catch up post.

WOW. tomorrow ended up being a LOOOOOOONG time :)

yes. it's true. i am the WORST blogger ever. i SWORE to myself that when we came home i would not stop posting :) yet here i am . . . i'm not even sure anyone is still checking this thing?!?!?! so if you are, please leave me a comment!

we are doing really REALLY well. stella is perfect. she has adjusted SO well & already knows who michael & i are. she is COMPLETELY laid back and handles every situation amazingly.

she LOVES her bath, LOVES to eat, LOVES to play. she is ADDICTED to her bottle. we have cut down the # of bottles per day and have just started mixing her formula with milk so that we can EVENTUALLY get her off the formula :) she is having NO PART of the milk alone :) she isn't walking yet or crawling. she is just starting to get a little mobile. we call her a crab because she will only move backwards. she LOVES her jumper (which is a good thing because we are putting her in there every day to get her legs stronger). she sleeps all night in her crib. occasionally she will wake around 5am for a bottle, and other times she will sleep until morning.













meeting nana and papaw for the first time
(michael's parents) : 3/28/08











meeting nona & popa d for the first time
(my parents) : 3/28/08










waking up at HOME for the first time
3/29/08 : momma and stella were SICK

my first birthday party
3/30/08 : my actual birthday was on 4/1/08 but we wanted to celebrate while everyone was here.
those are just a few photos to tide you over. blogger is being a PAIN and won't let me load any more photos . . . so i shall try again later . . . there are LOTS more . . .

Yes, I am still checking! I love how happy you guys ALL look! Yea for a family of 3. How is your dog adjusting? Turbo wasn't so sure of Henry at first, but now they are buddies. I can't wait for more pictures (when you get time). I am also glad Stella is adjusting so well, we have been praying for a smooth transition for you guys. Take care, give Stella a BIG hug from her Henry and hopefully once this #2 arrives and we make a trip down to AR we can stop and meet Miss Stella and love on her in person. Hello to all!
Kara & family
