I can't believe we have to say goodbye to my sweet Aunt Debbie who passed away last night. Our photos today are from some visits we've had with Debbie over the past year; Debbie was full of love and was the most generous, thoughtful person I have ever known.

15 month Checkup

Trip to the pediatrician for 15 month check up and shots.
Weight: 20 lbs, 11 oz; weight gained - 1lb,4oz; percentile 25th
Height: 32.5 inches; growth - 1.5 inches; percentile - off the charts - 99th+

Dr. commented on seemingly good language skills.

Stella now has memories of previous trips to the pediatrician's office; this means there is a lot of crying, as every visit involves getting 2 shots.

Raven's Birthday Party

One of our neighborhood friends Raven had her 4th birthday party today. Stella enjoyed playing in the sprinkler and getting in the baby pool. It was a great day to be outside enjoying the afternoon with neighbors and their kids!
