Stella is now just about the age Maia was when the twins were born…and everyday I am amazed we got through the toddler/infant days (years) to this golden time of two. Yes, golden. Stella is developing into a lovely and very typical–what ever that means–two year old. She is climbing and a master of daring-do. [...] Stella has been experimenting with walking on her own these past few weeks. She’s a bit wobbly as her feet still turn out fairly far but she’s working it. She walked across the kitchen and into the living room a few nights ago and she can be encouraged to walk…if we stand her up and [...] At our 12-month checkup last month, Dr. Rose expressed some concern that Elise was standing and Stella was not. She casually mentioned that if Stella wasn’t up on her feet we might want to consider some physical therapy. Enter Mommy panic mode. But after thinking about Stella and her general physical milestone attainment, John and [...] A whole year old today, Stella! A milestone for both parents and children alike. You’re mommy made you a most delicious pumpkin spice cupcake for you to do with as you pleased after dinner. And, while you were very happy smashing it up at first, you quickly realized that the sticky gooey frosting did not, [...] Happy Birthday Stella! You are about to reach the first and arguably the biggest milestone of your life thus far. Tomorrow you turn one. I was thinking of when you were born and the nurse held you up and I saw that red red hair of yours and I knew, right at that moment, that [...] Ladies and Gentlemen we have a new runner. Miss Stella Madeline is up on her knees and crawling. She’s giving her sister a run for the money and running through the house end to end. Also. She might be a greyhound and not a racehorse. She loves to pick up toys, flotsam, jetsam, anything, put [...] Stella did what babies are supposed to do and last month (gulp–bad late posting mom) she turned 9 months old. She saw her regular doctor, Dr. Rose, who hadn’t seen Stella since her 2-month check-up. What a difference six months make! She’s hardly the same teeny thing she was at birth. Stella’s Stats: Weight: 19#1oz [...] While I was sure Stella was on the verge of crawling, she hasn’t yet started with the traditional hands and knee locomotion. She does, however, move with a very nice combination of “commando crawl” and rolling. I think wearing her helmet had gotten her used to a certain level of recklessness concerning her head whick [...] That second little tooth is visible now. Sweet, sweet two-toothed grin. She is working on popping some more….at least I think she is as it’s drool city around here. And yes. Each tooth shall have a post. I am teething obsessed. Stella popped her bottom tooth. At first it looked as though both bottom teeth had come in, but then the swelling went crazy and only one tooth remained. The front right. But oh glory! Now, both her little teeth are visible. I really hope the teeth just come in smooth sailing after these two otherwise, [...] |
