stella walks!!

wow. thanksgiving, stella's birthday, christmas, alex's birthday, marshall's birthday and my own birthday have all passed by and been enjoyed immensely. but, sadly, the past few months have flown by with so many distractions, my journaling was been abandoned for a bit. but there's much news to write about, so i better get started.
first off, stella, my little tiny girl has been walking for a little over a week. she took her first steps for the nanny, tracy. i was there in the room, mind you. distracted, as usual, by something else, when suddenly tracy called out, "she's walking!!" i turned to see stella's last of three full steps. and then plop! she was on the floor. she's thrilled about her new mobility. she's into even more trouble than ever. oh boy, so i have my hands full with this one!
