And So It Begins!

I really didn't think Stella was ever going to crawl...I thought she would just skip it completely.  She would roll and scoot all over the place, and never showed any interest in crawling at all.  Then on Sunday the 2nd, she just started doing it out of the blue like she's been doing it all along!  (I apologize for the blurry photos...my camera doesn't have a very fast shutter speed, and she is constantly moving now!)

Now she is a crazy crawling maniac!  She is so busy...and gets into everything!  In the past week, she has gotten so good at crawling...she is a pro! And is getting VERY quick!

She is also obsessed with the tile and hardwood floors throughout the house... I think she likes the way it sounds when she slaps her hand on the hard floor over and over :)

Life has sure changed around here this past week!

Some of her first crawls...

Stella Meets Jolly Old St. Nick!

Stella got to meet Santa a few weeks ago.  

Let me just say...this photo shoot was HILARIOUS!  Josh got to dress up as Santa - they even stuffed his belly so he would look more like the real deal!  Stella thought it was so great!

Then she sat on the "real" Santa's lap...and she wasn't too fond of him!

We are so glad we decided to have these photos done.  I hope they keep doing them in the future, because I'm thinking this is going to make a great tradition for years to come!
