Suddenly SAHM

If you haven't heard yet, I quit my job and am - as of this past Monday - a stay at home mom.  This week doesn't really count though, as I have dubbed it my 'get your shit together week.' It really hasn't worked out that way, but I'm not counting myself as an official SAHM until this coming Monday.  I should have lots of pictures and posts in the coming weeks!  Should.  No promises.

Stella's First Birthday!

Yesterday was Stella's first birthday and we had a little celebration in our backyard/garage.  Stella was in a pretty good mood the entire time (I was worried she wouldn't be because she has had a cold) and was loving all of the commotion going on for her to watch.  When it was time for her to devour her cupcake, she preferred to use it as skin treatment.  She first mashed the cupcake up in her hands, and then she smeared it on her arms.  She had some frosting on her lips, but that was because I tried to force-feed her a bite thinking that once she had a taste she'd want to eat more.  Yes, force feeding my baby junk food.  Eat the damn cupcake!  She did end up taking a few very tiny bites just before we cleaned her up, but she wasn't blown away by the deliciousness.  We're waiting for the DNA results, as this was proof that she can't be our child.
