Dear Stella:
You are so cute! Today you wore a onesie that my friend Liz (your godmother) and her sister, Sarah brought for you when they came to visit a couple weeks ago. It has a pretend facebook profile printed on it with information that a baby would have if they actually had facebook. It's pretty funny! You really like sitting in your Bumbo chair and you look like such a big girl in it. You are the best little girl ever! I love you!
Love, Mom

Dear Stella:
Yesterday you experienced your very first earthquake! You, Grandma Lisa, Clare, Patrick, and I were at the pool and all of a sudden we felt shaking. At first I thought Patrick was just being silly and shaking my chair, but then I saw the concrete moving back and forth and heard the gate clanging. We later found out that it was a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that happened in Virginia - about 100 miles south of us. Daddy was at work at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, MD and I couldn't get a hold of him on the phone for a while because everyone was trying to make phone calls at the same time so the phone system crashed. We are all safe and you slept right through the whole thing. You are such a sweetheart.
Love, Mom

Dear Stella:
This weekend we took you to Harper's Ferry, WV. You were a really good girl and had fun riding on the front of daddy.
Your teeth are bothering you a lot so you have been extra fussy and chewing on your bottom lip a lot. You're doing so well eating your rice cereal at night before bed. We've started feeding you the cereal with a spoon before your bath. In about one more month we will be able to start feeding you pureed vegetables. I love you, little girl!

Dear Stella:
I took you in for your 4 month check-up yesterday. You weigh almost 16 pounds and you are about 24 inches long. The doctor said you are a big, healthy girl. You also had to get 3 shots and one oral vaccination. I feel so bad when you get stuck with those needles. You always let out a loud scream and start crying really hard right after they stick you. I made sure to have a bottle ready to give you right away so that you could calm down. You are such a strong little girl. I love you so much!

Dear Stella:
Your Grandma and Grandpa Finnegan and your Aunt and Uncles came to visit you this week. Mom and Dad celebrated our first wedding anniversary last night. We've had such a great first year of marriage - especially with the addition of you! We love you so much! On our date last night, we bought you 2 new books. It was our first date out here since you were born and we missed you so much even though we were only gone for about 2 hours. You've been enjoying your extra snuggle time with all of the visitors we have!

Dear Stella:
You, dad, and I went to Kohl's tonight. I picked out some underwear for myself and quickly put them in the stroller by you. I didn't even think about what I was doing because you were getting fussy so I was more concerned about getting you calmed down. By the time we got to the checkout, you were crying so hard that the people in line let us go to the front so that we didn't have to wait. We quickly checked out and got you settled in the car. I looked down at your hands and saw you playing with something pink and lacy... my underwear! oops! You accidentally stole mommy's underwear from Kohl's!
I still think you're the best!

Dear Stella:
I had to take you to the pediatrician today because you have a rash on your tummy. It started last night and looked worse this morning. The doctor said it's probably just a heat rash from how humid it has been out here. When the doctor was putting away the intsrument used to look in your ears, she accidentally dropped it on the side of your head. I felt SO bad for you. You screamed and cried so loud and it left a little bump and bruise. My poor baby girl. You are such a little sweetheart. I love you, baby!

Dear Stella:
Yesterday you came to the dentist with me. It was horrible. You screamed almost the entire time. I think you were mad because you couldn't see me. And the dentist accidentally dropped a glob of toothpaste into my eyeball. It hurt so, so bad. I just wanted to grab you and hold you and get out of there.
I love you sweet little Stella.
