Our One Month Old

Check out our big girl:

The Last Few Weeks

Prior to Stella's arrival I thought that a shift from 3 to 4 kids in our household wouldn't be significantly more difficult -- different, busier, but overall a similar level of energy.  Being the "veteran" parents we are, I assumed we'd slip seamlessly into the caring-for-a-newborn phase while simultaneously managing the original trio.  We've certainly slipped into parenting all four kids, but not without seams -- many, many seams.  Fortunately, as the days and weeks pass, the seams become less prominent and the awesomeness of all four of our kids takes center stage.

One week old.

A favorite napping spot for both of us.

First bath at home (not the most accurate photo because she LOVES bath time).

First trip out in our jogger.

A family stroll to the espresso stand (often frequented multiple times a day).

Wakefulness.

Snoozing in her carseat.
