Happy Halloween!

The discovery of toys

In the last couple of days Stella has really started to grab at toys and notice their shapes and colors. As you can see from these 2 photos she had a busy day today playing with new things.

A hard decision

Stella was having a hard time deciding between the toy on her seat and her fist. The fist won hands down.

Fred and Peter vist

Although she appears to want to kill someone in this picture, Stella was very happy to meet Fred and Peter who were up visiting from San Francisco this past weekend. Every time we pull the camera out to take a picture Stella stares into it and get very serious, as seen in this photo. The minute the camera goes away she is all smiles.

Day with Dad

While Mom was hosting a baby shower for a friend, Stella spent the day in Seattle with Dad and his buddies. We're not sure what she's thinking about her new winter jacket in this photo. Regardless, it's warm and perfect for these cool Fall days.

Thank you Auntie Mimi!

A big thanks to Auntie Mimi for our new signature star pj's! They are super cozy and Stella even slept 11 hours in them last night.

Stella's favorite Aunt

This past weekend Stella had the pleasure of a visit from her favorite Auntie Mimi! Stella was very happy to finally have met her and can't wait to see her again soon. We miss you already Mimi.

Dinner with friends

Andrea and Josh and Micki and Peter came over for dinner on Saturday night and Stella loved hanging out with everyone. She was very mellow and easygoing until it was time to go to bed. I think she just wanted in on the good food and company.

Stella turns 5 months old

Weren't not sure where time has gone but Stella turns 5 months old today. She also turns 3 months old as well. She is a happy baby who loves to smile which always makes her parents smile. Her sleeping through the night now also makes her parents smile!

Kauai luau

Here's a family shot from the luau we went to.

Stella in paradise

We just returned from an amazing 10 days in Kauai with Grandco, Grandma Jonny and Uncle Poka. Stella had a wonderful time and really seemed to enjoy the warm weather and ocean breeze. She did amazing on both flights and was super easygoing on vacation. Hopefully this is a sign that she will be a good traveler. Here are a couple of shots from our trip. Aloha!
