Baby Stephanie

Two months ago, our baby Stephanie Grace arrived in the comfort of our living room (still can't get over that one!). Since then, our lives have been filled with much less sleep but lots more love! Baby Stephanie is a baby marvel. She is so strong! She not only holds her head steady (for weeks now), but also sits upright with support and will even pull up to standing sometimes. She started smiling her gorgeous baby smile a couple of weeks ago, and she has added in some baby talking ("Ah-goo") for good measure. She loves being held, but she will have lengthy discussions with mobiles and dangling toys if left to her own devices for short periods. One blessing of a second chid is a de-sensitization to noise. She can sleep through her sister tearing through the house, merrily (or not) shouting and having a grand ol' time. The reverse also seems to be true (Ellie sleeping through Stephanie noise), which is great! If only we could get them to sleep at the same time...
