Stella 8 Months

I'm finally getting on schedule with these monthly updates!

 She was so much fun to take pictures of...you would never guess we were all ready for church early so I real quick grabbed the camera and bam...10 minutes later a camera full...

 She is sitting up now...it just happened one day...one second she couldn't then we tried again and she was perfectly straight.

 Ok...got it...you will do things when you are ready...

 She LOVES food...especially all the things I had to sneak in sweet potato's and apples sauce for the boys.

 I gave her the ultimate test...kale, spinach, peas and green beans mixed...she couldn't get enough...

 Graham Crackers and Mum Mum's are her new favorite thing...I give her them and let her sit with the boys while they eat...they all love it...

 She loves attention and she loves to play...or watch two crazy brothers play...

 she is super easy going and doesn't even mind when the boys for instance make a fort and knock her down with the couch cushions.

 She has no reaction to loud noises or being jumped over...I guess she must be used to it...

 she is perfectly fine sitting in her stroller for an hour while I take the boys to the trampoline park...

she is (no contest) the sweetest girl in the whole wide world...and I'm not biased at all.

Kid Photo's

 Not that all my posts aren't full of photos of the kids...the goal of this day was to get a good photo of each kid and one photo with all 3 kids.

Oh Hunter...what a cute boy...not always a willing photo participant...but if you just follow him around with the camera you are bound to get some keepers.

Sometimes I look at pictures of Zack and think wow...what a handsome boy...and sweet to boot...

 Stella is a born model...she smiles...she looks...she is super duper cute...

All three kids in one photo...

I love this photo...even with Adam's hand...you would never guess Hunter was on the verge of a major meltdown and Zack was freaking out because there were bugs.

I got several of these two...it should be no surprise that the 2 year old was the one who wouldn't sit for pictures

Bond Park Photos

I rented a lens because my hobby made me a little cash and I wanted to try an 85mm...I loved it...

 

 

Stella 7 Months

I totally dropped the ball on doing a 7 month photo shoot...but I have lots of pictures so I'm sure she will forgive me someday

 She is still super sweet, super happy, an awesome eater, and a perfect sleeper....

 I feel like I write the same thing each month...

 but the truth is pretty boring...perfectly boring...

 She, however is far from boring...she is quite hilarious

 she has several faces...and about half the time her face screams "ya'll crazy"...which in our house is pretty accurate.

 The majority of her other faces say..."I'm happy"...it ranges from "I'm just plain ol' happy" to "OH WOW I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE TO GET ME FROM MY CRIB"

 She loves her brothers...and they compete over her attention...

 but who wouldn't want to win the heart of this girl...

 it takes almost no effort...she loves everyone...

 and she is happy pretty much always.

Stella 6 Months

Stella is a half year old...crazy...

She loves food...

she loves to sleep in her bed...

she loves her brothers...

and she loves to put things in her mouth...

things she doesn't love: sitting up and rolling over...

but that's ok...at least I'm learning to say it's ok.  It's hard for me with two boys who were only interested in moving to watch Stella be so incredibly content just being...

I'm thinking she may be more like her daddy than her mommy...

easy going, low emotions, hates to make waves...

Stella is the type of baby where if she is your first you feel like awesome parents who know everything and love dishing out advice...until their maniac second child comes along...

She is the perfect baby...and lets just say they fight over her in the church nursery...but can you blame them?
