Crazy Bowls and crazy baby

Stephie and Grandma Julie met Mommy for lunch today at Crazy Bowls where Stephie proved to be an extremely hungry girl, eating over 8 ounces within just a few hours. Mommy got to give her a bottle for the first time!

Valley of the Damned

Stephie is practicing her "Valley of the Damned" look with her eyes rolling back in her head. This look was perfected by her namesake, Aunt Stephanie, when she was a little girl and found it quite hilarious to freak people out with her scary eyeballs!

Happy Mother's Day!

We celebrated Mother's Day with Stephie's dedication ceremony at the First Unitarian Universalist Church. She wore Great-Grandma Rita's dress and Grandma Michelle's hat and shoes. She looked like a little baby doll in her fancy outfit! Afterwards, we headed out to Michelle and Roger's house for lunch as well as some mommy-and-baby-ducky cake made by Ed.

Portriat session...take 2

Based on a tip from Andrea and Ian, we took Stephie to Portrait Innovations for her 2-month photos. They did a great job, and Stephie actually behaved herself for the session!

Stephie and Sophie

We had a wonderful dinner at Andrea and Ian's after which Stephie and Sophie got to play together. So cute!

The Magic House

Stephie took a field trip today to the Magic House. As you can tell by the picture, she was extremely enthralled by the exhibits. We've been calling her Houdini lately due to her uncanny ability to wriggle out of her swaddle blankets; maybe we have a future magician on our hands!

Hanging out at home

We had a nice evening at home while the storm raged on outside. It's a great night to curl up on the couch away from the rain!
