If it ain't broken....

When Wil and I first set eyes on Stella, we thought "WOW, she looks NOTHING like Lola" But after a few days, I pulled out some photos and realized she looks nothing like our 2 year old blond haired Lola.

After careful inspection, it appears that we have created the exact same child.



So I better label my photos carefully now as I won't be able to tell them apart!




There are some differences as Stella seems to have Wil's nose, but overall, they are pretty darn similar.

Especially when you look at photos of them being held by friends and family....

Stella- our happy little gremlin




It's hard to believe that Stella is almost 2 months old! Writing a blog with 2 kids is more challenging than I thought it would be. I'm working on syncing naps but Lola is on the verge of giving them up entirely so I'm not sure that will work.

But back to Stella. She is our perfect little angel. She's calm and happy and sitting quietly beside me as I write this. Last week she starting cooing and smiling and flirting with anyone who will pay attention. She's happy to sit quietly in her chair as long as I chat with her while I make dinner. At night she's a little gremlin, full of little grunts and chuckles as she sleeps. She's a great little night sleeper: going to bed at 9 and getting up around 3 and then around 6:00. This means I am very well rested and able to carry on with my day with only one cup of coffee to get me started in the morning.
