Crib confinement

When we need to put Stephie down for a second, her crib is definitely the safest option as of late; suffice it to say that she is into EVERYTHING! As you can see, she doesn't mind too much.

DuPage Children's Museum

Stephie had a great time at the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville this morning. She especially liked the "Young Explorers" areas which were perfect for babies her age.Look, six Stephies!

Yikes, stripes!

We thought we were done with winter (ha!), but just in case, Stephie got a new hat to keep that bald little head warm. It's nice and cozy, and better yet, striped!

More fun with friends

Today Stephie had R.J. over for a play-date at home...
...and then met up with a new friend Claire (who turns one tomorrow!) at her house for lunch.Also noteworthy, Stephie has officially made the switch to taking only one afternoon nap this week. This frees her up for many more morning outings; she is about to get even busier!

11 months old!

Only one more month until the big one year mark. Happy 11 months old, Stephie!

Pool shark

Stephie is preparing to give her daddy and grandpas a run for their money at the pool table!

Mmmm...McDonald's

We took Stephie to McDonald's today to have her first Big Mac and french fries. KIDDING! We actually went there to play at the Play Place. Stephie had a great time exploring the animals and tunnels and even met another boy Mason who was very fun to play with as well.
