Dare to Dream

Tonight we went with some friends to see Dare to Dream on Ice. It was so much fun! The girls were so excited to see the ice and the Princess' skating. We saw the story of Tiana, Cinderella and Rapunzel. All of the princess' came out at the end. Here are a few pics and a short video of them dancing at the end!

Stella had cereal for the first time the other day. She did not even know what to think! She kept spitting it out and was trying to tongue the spoon. I know as we continue to go she will grow to LOVE cereal. We shall see. Here are a few pics!

really mom?!

no thank you.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Wow! What a beautiful St. Patrick's Day we had! It couldn't get much better than this. We went down to the annual St. Patty's Day parade downtown.  We got there around 9:30 and it was more crowded than usually. I think partly because of the beautiful day and partly due to St. Patrick's Day actually on a Saturday. We grabbed our spot, which sad to say it got so crowded that it didn't really matter how early we got there! Anyway, Nora had a great time at the parade. Poor Stella was so stinking hot. She is a hot box just like her dad and sister. She did really well considering. My cousin Jamie got her to sleep for almost an hour in her arms. We lasted almost until the end of the parade. We had a good time. We are going to do some things a little different next year, but overall it was a fun time!

Nora made this at preschool on Friday and loved wearing it. It makes me laugh!

4 months old!

Our sweet Stella is 4 months old! Wow, she is growing so fast and I hate that! Once you get past those first, long two months it really starts to fly by! If I didn't have to do those first few months and send my babies to daycare I would have more. Yes, I said it!
I love this age. She is smiling all. the. time! She is rolling from belly to back, she is sleeping AWESOME! I could not ask for a better baby. I say she rivals Nora for best baby. I can't decide who is better. So with that being said we will not try for number 3 and jinx that goodness! We went to the dr. this morning for our 4 month check up and here are her stats....

Weight 14 lbs 12 oz.  68th %ile
Height  25 1/2 inches  85th %ile

The nurse practitioner said she is growing exactly the way she is supposed to be. I was worried a little about her nogen, but that has rounded out nicely and she said I don't need to worry. We are going to be starting cereal in a month when she can sit up a little bit better. Stella did really well considering she got two shots today. She only cried after the second one.

The girl absolutely loves the jump a roo! What a great invention. She just bounces and bounces and bounces and giggles and bounces some more! Nora plays with her while she is in it too. I think Nora secretly wishes she could get in it as well. So here is our sweet baby at 4 months old!
