Binki

08/05 – As I was sadly cleaning out Stella’s closet and drawers of small clothes, making room for new clothes, I found a binki. Stella never used a binki when she was a baby, but I gave it to her anyway and she kept it in her mouth for several hours. Her new game was to run up to me (wobbly because she was laughing so hard), and then make me bite it out of her mouth. I probably enjoyed the game more than she did because of that adorable laugh!

Mother's Day

05/05 – This is our most current family photo which was taken on Mother’s Day this year. We couldn’t get Stella to hold still and we couldn’t get Grandpa Dibble to take a centered photo! This was the best we could do! This was also my first real Mother’s Day and no matter how many fantastic gifts I’ve been given in the past years, I don’t think any gift can out-do the gift of my little Stella!

Stella's first smile

A New Branch

Our precious baby girl, Stella Rose Dibble, was born in July of 2004. There is not a day that goes by without us staring at her for a while and being overwhelmed with gratitude at this wonderful gift we've been given. A new branch of our family tree has finally started.
