Week One with Baby Stella

Wow - Stella's first week has gone by in a flash. I'm so sad that as I'm writing this, she's already 10 days old! Now I understand what my parents meant when they said how quickly the time flies with kids.

This week was a big week for Stella. She met her Grandma and Grandpa Baltz, her uncle CJ and Aunt Kari and 2 cousins. Once they left, she had a whole new group of family members to meet. Grandma Sheridan and Aunt Audrey and Uncle Dave flew out from SLC and Minneapolis to meet her and we had an amazing time with them. We are so lucky to have such incredible families that have flown out here to meet Stella and show their support. Stella is one loved baby - lucky girl!

Below are some pictures of her first week and our visitors...

Thanks again mom, dad, CJ, Sheridan, Dave and Aud for coming out, we enjoyed every second of it and can't wait until we all get to see each other again!


We are such proud parents. We are so happy and so, so thankful for little Stella. We already can't imagine our lives without her.

Thanks to everyone for all of the beautiful flowers that were in our hospital room and for the ones sent to us at home.



The Baltz's come visit.

Uncle CJ

Cousins Hannah and Haydin.

Hannah calls Stella to talk to her now, it's soooo cute. She just talks "Hi Stella, How are you doing? What's going on today? Well I'm just..." and so on and so on. I love it!

Me and Stella

Grandma Baltz - snuggle time!

Stella's First Bath. She was not a big fan.

Can you tell, we have no idea what we are doing? She's a slippery little sucker when she gets all wet.

She loves having her back rubbed, even if it is in the bath.

She was so happy to have that out of her way.

All clean :)

Mike's mom and sister and her husband came to visit and meet Stella (and it looks like she'll be meeting Grandpa Day at the end of this month - yay!!!)

Mike, Audrey and Stella

I love her face in this photo. There it is again, she LOVES backrubs.

4th of July - 6 days old.

Our first outing, all dressed and ready to go.

We love holding her and just staring at her.

It's so amazing that she is finally here right in front of us.

Love her!

Mike, Grandma Sheridan and Stella getting ready to hit the festivities.

Stella really liked her stroller. She LOVES the cobblestone and all of the horribly bumpy sidewalks in Old City.

Of course, we had to try out all of our gear in the 2 hours we were gone. Stella got hungry and had to eat, she pooped and Mike went to change her diaper and she pooped again, all over him (She loves to do that to him - she's pooped or peed on Mike at least 10 times while he's changing her, it's hilarious.)

Look at how funny we all look. Dave eating and staying in the shade, Audrey sunbathing, me trying to feed Stella and Sheridan trying to help any way she can.




Our second outing, a walk around Rittenhouse Park.

Mike admiring Stella, he's such a good dad.
