One Month Birthday

Stella turned one month old yesterday. We celebrated by going to dim sum at Mark’s Duck House today–it was our first trip to a restaurant as a family. Stella was an angel and slept the whole time in her car seat. We even made a trip to Target after lunch. It was a very successful outing.

My feelings for her are just so overwhelming. I can’t believe that this amazing little girl is my own, that Larry and I made her, and she is so perfect and beautiful and the smartest, most advanced baby on earth. I think she’ll be walking and talking in weeks. She’s already started smiling–isn’t one month incredibly early to start smiling? I told you she is advanced. Maybe it’s because she had a whole extra week to grow inside me, so she’s actually one month and one week old.

She also makes a great model–I discovered that she likes to look at dark colors, especially my dark digital SLR. Here are few of my favorites from her one-month photo shoot:

    Happy 1-month birthday, Stella! I so wish I had met you already, but I have been so worried about making you sick :(. My cold finally seems to be vacating my body, so we’ll have to arrange a get-together soon! I’m jealous that you went to Mark’s Duck House. Did you order the jellyfish?

    You know, she looks so much like her dad, but that second picture with the befuddled look, really captures his spirit.

    Thanks Michaela! I do hope you feel better soon so that you can meet Stella! We are venturing back out into the real world now, so maybe it will soon be time to introduce her to pho or korean bbq….

    @Stone–very funny.

    The first one looks like she’s developing an idea for a blog post. The second one is priceless… “What do you mean they’re not showing Hotel Babylon anymore?!” :)
