March 28, 2010 Goodbye and Hello!

Farewell to the Stella Rose blog and Hello Merry Moys blog!

March 26, 2010 My sleeping angel!




Oh Stella - how peaceful you look when you are asleep. I love hearing you breathe and seeing you so angelic...so I had to take a few pictures of you tonight!

Thur. March 25th, 2010 CO-SLEEPER Rocks!!! First Laugh!


The past couple of nights you have been a little fussy - perhaps you are starting early teething??? The good and bad is that you are vocal when you're not happy (dirty diaper, bored, hungry)or tired and want to be bounced/held/nippled to sleep. Mommy is the nippler (lol) and Daddy is the bouncer on the exercise ball and you like to put your face into the crook of my elbow or in my armpit ;0)

At any rate, the co-sleeper is working well (thank god) for nighttime sleep - when you are tired enough we can lay you down on "your" 1,000 thread count sheet/pillowcase! Here's a picture I took of you this morning.

Today I picked up Julia from school and we had family lunch - I love coming home, seeing you, Mommy and Julia, getting/giving kisses from/to my 3 girls and a nice smile from you!

This evening you started to laugh! We filmed it on the cam-corder. Mommy would hold you and then the two of you would pop into the mirror and she's say "Who's that?" and you would grin and giggle. It's so sweet!!!

Wed. March 24, 2010 "The end and rebirth"

Okay, it's been decided that maintaining a blog for you and a separate blog for Julia is a bit too time consuming and that our family's lives are so intertwined...so at the end of this month the two individual blogs will come to an end and I will then begin the "birth" of the Merry Moys blog! Stay tuned for that...

MOMMY's NOTE: Daddy did a great job on these blogs! Can't wait to see the Merry Moy's new blog!

Mon. March 22, 2010 Sitting Up/Leaning in Highchair!




After getting the luggage all empty, we couldn't resist putting you in one of them for a picture!

Daddy also did the baby wrap with you today...proof in the picture!

Today you started leaning yourself up and forward in the highchair to play with the toys and watch what's going on around you in the kitchen! Here's a picture of you looking at Julia's new kitchen blender!

You are growing up so fast! A joy to hold, chat with and all smiles at times! Daddy is trying to get you to say "da da"...Mommy just laughs at me...

Another good night in the co-sleeper (fingers crossed)!

Sun. March 21, 2010 First sleep in co-sleeper!!!

It's so nice to be back in our own home!!! The space, comfort and stuff! After getting all the laundry done, having brunch at Brookside By Day II, Sam's Club run to restock our fridge and attending Caroline Whitehead's 3rd bday party at the Bouncy Barn in Broken Arrow, we were all exhausted from the 15 hours in the van with snow and rain and slight sleep deprivation.

Tonight Mommy put you down in the co-sleeper and you lasted 3 hours - that was great! We think maybe the 1,000 thread count sheets Mommy used in there may be to your liking! Smile! Thankfully the prevacid is working well to help control/sooth your acid reflux. Mommy knows from experience - if we are going to sleep train you, we gotta do it before your crawl and stand...
