A few Pictures from June

The month of June was so fun! Stella has grown so much, I can't even imagine what the next month has in store. Here are a few pictures from June that I enjoy. Hope you do as well!

Stella and Daddy being silly...

enjoying the ocean breeze...

Stella sitting in her big girl chair at one of the restraunts in Isle of Palms.

Here we are at the ballgame to hear Levi sing...our first sporting event together :)

We have caught Stella with some cute looks on her sweet face! I love how she grabs at everything now. Her smile is so sweet.

Stella has been scooting around and around on her belly for a while now, but now, she's beginning to scoot backwards! She's done it for several weeks, but all of a sudden, she seems to be mastering this skill. She'll go from one part of the room to another in no time. I think crawling will be our next big obstacle! Time to baby proof!

First Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Michael!! I can't begin to tell you how crazy Michael is over Stella Belle. I love all the interactions between them two, after all, it is his twin! He is such a wonderful Dad, the best ever!

Happy Father's Day!

Stella with PaPaw and me. I think I was looking at Mom... ?

June, so far

A serious look from Miss Stella, something we don't see too often. She must of been sleepy. I love the hair sticking up on top of her head, so funny. I call her my little bird.

Daddy admiring Stella while sleeping on the couch. So little and sweet.

Here we are in front of the car that we rode away in on our wedding day. A friend of ours that was married last week rode away in it as well. This was at the reception with Ronnie, the driver and owner, of the car taking our picture.

wink baby

A friend of mine, Lucy, has her own business where she makes really cute baby and mom stuff. This is a bag and shirt she made for Stella. I'm not sure why the shirt is sideways, my pictures shows i turned the other way. Oh well. I love the summer colors. To check out some more of her stuff visit: http://www.winkbaby.net/

Stella and Sweet Potatoes

Stella has started solid food now, and this week was Sweet Potatoes! She was a little sleepy, and silly, I might add when we first tried. She is so funny. This is also how she lets me know she is awake some mornings... by making as many sounds as she can while lying in her crib.

Photos by Amber

My long time friend, Amber Lee Lanier, came to photograph Stella last week. It was a little hot outside, but the pictures turned out great! These are a few of my favorites.

I've been wanting a picture of Stella in these bloomers since my friend Janelle bought them for her when she was born. I think the rolls on her legs and back are just about as cute as the bloomers!

Half Way to Birthday #1

Happy 6 Months! Michael and I can't believe it's been 6 months already. Some days it seems as though she's been with us forever, and other days it seems like we just brought her home. She is growing so much! As you can see, she sits up during play time now, and reaches for anything and everything. She has started eating rice cereal and has now started exploring other new foods. No ice cream yet! At her 6 month check-up, she weighed 18lbs. 2oz. and was 27 inches long. She is in the 90% for all areas of development! I look forward to the changes that will take place in the next 6 months. Seeing her grow and develop is so fun!
