Baby's First Christmas (tree)

Daddy refused to make the trek up to Apple Hill (despite Mommy's demands) so we went to the next best stop -- Home Depot. Riiight. We have to give Daddy J some credit, though, they did have some nice trees. No apple fritters, though. Boo hoo.

Gobble, Gobble...

We all had us some "gobble, gobble" this past weekend. Thanksgiving was its usual hootananny. Although this year Mama Mary joined culinary whiz Mama Jo in the thanksgiving cooking. Turkey, stuffing (according to Mama Jo, giblets are a necessary ingredient. Oh, to be a fly on the wall while this vegetarian cut the turkey heart), potato salad, mashed pots, pies, you name it... gobble, gobble me right out the door (or, roll me out the door, whichever you prefer). We're still recovering.

6 months and we're movin' and shakin'... these pictures show what a 16lb, 6oz (agile creature that she is), 26 1/4 " bub a lub gets done in your average day.

Half Moon Bay or Bust!

Ms. Lily and I decided our parents needed a break. The Ritz was more than we could have wanted. This baby loves her 5 star hotels.

My grandparents are good kids...

I'm a chub, but they love me anyway.

Daddy J turned 36 and SJ and Mommy took the whole fam to dinner at Thai Basil to celebrate.

I Got Friends

Stella has had a busy couple of weeks. When she's not gallavanting around town with Ms. Lily. She is attending all sorts of important soirees (ie. Taylor Marie's 7th birthday party) and the fabulous brunch at Fox & Goose.

Stella likes holding Lily's ear. It's a sign of affection.

Happy Halloween!
