Stella turned 9 Months old September 1st!!! She now weighs 21.9 lbs and is 28 inches long. The doctor said she is doing great and has lots of padding on her :) She loves to get down and around on her own...all of the time. We can put a hairbow in her hair without the headbands now too! She eats 3 meals a day. The only thing that she doesn't enjoy are carrots. We'll keep working on that! She has 3 teeth on the bottom, and a new one has already broken through within the past several days. Another new skill that she likes practicing is pulling things out of containers. She likes to drag out all of her toys from her toy bins and all the folded clothes from the clothes basket. Now we just need to work on putting things back :) 
Stella and Daddy walking in the yard... can you tell Michael was out in the sun earlier that day?
Once I opened Stella's new box of diapers and put them away, I was going to throw the box away, like we usually do...but Stella had other plans. She is getting around quite well these days and I am just happy that she created a walker for free...well, except for the diapers that came with it! :)
