4 years ago today....

This happened...

Best day ever:) We were so excited to finally meet our 5 lb. baby girl and two days later we settled on a name. Happy 4th birthday Stella Jewel Garman!!

And the "birthday fairy" last night preparing for Stella's special day!! Very different from 4 years ago. This was me four years ago the day before stella was born...

More from her first year... 

 

Still so tiny- about 4 weeks old.

 

And today...

 

It was even warm enough to have a princess luncheon in the playhouse!!

We love you so much Stella bug!!

This is when she started getting into everything- tall girl, nothing was safe!!!

 

Musical bedrooms...this is Stella's bed, but she was in ours...ty must have snapped this when he woke one morning, looking for where I had finally landed to get some rest. I hate to post such a lovely picture of myself, but love that I have a good memory of Victoria's hand on my head...she was likely twirling my hair. I don't know how she sleeps while she does this but this is how she likes to fall asleep...twirling hair, including her own. It is honestly hard for me to sleep while she is tickling my head, but it's so darn sweet I don't mind!

 

Our sweet friend Megan and baby Collin. Stella adores watching babies...hmmm...wonder where she gets it;) I love this about Stella!!
