Saturday 10 You got shots the day before so you were a little fussy. Daddy decided the best option for our Saturday lunch would be Chik-fil-a. Once we got there I realized the magic that is Chik-fil-a. Dare I say our local disney world. The staff was friendly, we love the food, and you fell asleep in your carrier and other children raced around the restaurant screaming. There was a couple the next table over from us, they had a (maybe) 4 year-old little girl. She dropped her toy and it rolled under a booth. I watched the man sitting at the booth, along with the father of the little girl crawl under the booth and retrieve this toy that cost probably 2 cents. The man sitting in the booth handed the toy to the Dad and sat back down. All people involved acted like this was an everyday common occurance by the way.  The father handed the toy back to the daughter then the mother and father told the little girl how nice it was for the man to get her toy for her and that she needed to pers...

Last week we started daycare.  The reason I say we is because Darren and I both had to get used to the new routine and the morning I took Stella really felt like my first day at school. How weird am I? The minute we entered the daycare I felt good though. It smelled like blueberry muffins first of all! I mean, an ax murder's house doesn't smell like blueberry muffins right? When we walked into the infant room the three babies that were there were all smiles and the teacher was very sweet.  Stella on the other hand wasn't so easy. It was actually time for a nap for her and her lower lip started quivering and she gave me this sad little face. I had to keep telling myself it wasn't separation anxiety because she's way too young for that. I picked her up and started rocking her and then gave her to another teacher who was excited to hold her and figured out immediately that Stella loves being propped on a shoulder.  I felt really good about leaving but it still took m...

I'm behind on my posts but it's kind of fitting that these two Saturdays are together because they were each spent with a Godparent.  Saturday Number 8 You got to spend the day with Aunt Cole (your Godmother). This is huge! Godmother Cole is one of the best people God put on this Earth so spending time with her should make you feel muy importante. Aunt Cole and I met Freshman year of college and have pretty much been inseparable ever since.  There are very few people on this planet that just get me, she is one of those people (The other is Aunt Sissa, also one of the best people on Earth). Aunt Cole flew from Winston-Salem, NC to Huntsville to drop her daughter Lily off with her grandparents then drove 6 hours to meet you. Yeah, you are a pretty big deal to her. We gave you a bath and then we took you to lunch.  Daddy walked around with you while Aunt Cole and I chatted about how wonderful you are. She took this picture of your Daddy and me....
