Tea Party with Grandpa

Birthday Party

We had Stella's 2nd birthday party at the pool at our neighborhood "Y". Some of her special friends and cousins were able to make it, though we were missing 5 cousins this year (my brother has 5 boys!). Erik's dad was even able to join us from Louisiana (in the orange shirt). He helped us sooooo much, right in the midst of me being miserable with morning sickness. Thank you, Grandpa!

 Cousin David is so sweet with her.

 

 Happy Birthday, Sunflower.

2nd Birthday

Stella's 2nd birthday was in July. The following pics are from her birthday morning.

 

 

 

 Our big girl. We love you.

First Ballgame

Daddy is a huge baseball fan. Since we don't have a major league team here, we support our minor league team (where they have a playground and a pool!). Our friends joined us later, but we got in some good Daddy/Stella moments.

We love you, Daddy (and baseball, too :)

Summer Concert

 We went to an outdoor concert with friends (one of the million in Austin every summer and all year long).

 

 

 

 Such a sweet and wonderful age.

Summer Catch-up

We love to dig in the dirt in the backyard....

 ...naked, of course.

 And it's so nice to cuddle in bed after a warm bath.

Quick Halloween Post

I have clearly failed at keeping my blog up to date. The biggest update is probably that I'm 6 months pregnant...

Our little girl is growing up. I can barely stand to look at pictures from the past 6 months - it just happens too fast. I wanted to post a few recent ones for those patient souls in my life that have been begging to see pictures (thanks for waiting).

She was a giraffe for Halloween.
