Stella Goes to Work.

Stella was taken to Belinda's work on Thursday so that she could see where mama will be going in a few days. I am told that not ten minutes into making it in the office Stella pooped. Belinda said this was Stella giving her opinion about her going back to work. Once she gave her opinion on the matter she was on her best behavior. She took pictures with some of the co-workers especially Sylvia who has been helping hold down the fort while Belinda was on leave. Stella has gotten a lot better about going out in public. We know that we have windows of opportunities and we have learned to work our outings into the those windows.

This weekend Stella was taken to her first birthday party. It was a party for a one year old. There was a jumpy castle, face painter/magician, and a nice spread of cuisine. The food was your choice of hot dogs or dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. I went with the hot dogs. They never taste better than at a child's party. Stella crashed out the majority of the time and everyone kept asking us if she was six months old. Most of the party we spent it inside with another couple who had a six month old. We had never met them before and it was interesting how we spoke like old friends. I think part of it came from having someone new to tell stories of Stella to. I always have this feeling of guilt talking to the same people about Stella.

I will leave y'all tonight with this. Stella has started to smile and laugh but every time I pull out the camera she goes right back to her serious face. It's like she knows I am trying to get a photo. So I leave you with the photo of what it looks like when the camera comes out.

Have a good night. We are off to watch the Oscars.
