Cousins

Last week, Stella got to meet her new cousin (and our new nephew), Dylan. Dylan and his mommy and daddy, Amber & Josh, came out from Arizona to visit for a week. It was so great to see them and spend time with them. Adam's dad, Ed, also came out from Pennyslvania for a few days to see both of his new grandbabies.

Kari and Kati threw Amber and Josh a fabulous baby shower.

Trying to get a picture of both Dylan and Stella when they are both looking at the camera and not crying proved to be to difficult a task for me.

Stella's 1st Time at the Pool

Last weekend, Asam and I took Stella over to Don's house for her first time in the pool. You can tell from the picture below that she HATED it. But at least she looked cute in the swimsuit that Aunt Ericka bought her. Stella likes her baths, so I think we will try again when the pool is warmer and hopefully she will like it better.

My friend Lindsay and her 9 month old son, Brady, came over to the pool with us. It was Brady's first time in the pool also and he LOVED it. He was so cute and enjoyed splashing in the water.Can you tell how much fun he had?

Photos from Stella's 1st Month

Wow! I can't believe that Stella is already one month old. It seems like just yesterday I was waking up Adam to tell him it is time to go to the hospital for her arrival. She has kept us very busy this past month, but we are finally getting the hang of things. She is even sleeping longer during the night now. I keep promising to post more pictures, so here are several of my favorite that we have taken over the past month.

Stella's 1st Photo Shoot

Stella is very lucky to have an aunt who takes such awesome pictures (check out her new website at http://www.erickagphotography.com/). When she was only 4 days old, Ericka came by to do a few newborn pictures of Stella. Here are some of my favorites.

Stella Grace Caudill

Adam and I are excited to announce that Stella Grace has finally arrived. She was born on Tuesday, April 20th at 9:01 p.m. She weighed 8 lbs., 10 oz. and was 20 inches long. Labor and delivery went very smoothly and mom and baby are both healthy. We have spent the past two weeks getting used to having a baby around and learning how to care for her (and how to take turns watching her so the other can get a shower :) Adam and I can not get enough of her and are enjoying every minute of being parents. Here are a few pictures from the hospital and a few newborn pictures that Ericka took for me.

Rich and Lisa Get Married

On April 17th, Adam and I attended Rich and Lisa's wedding. Lisa is Russ's sister and we were excited to be part of thier day. Both Russ and Ericka were in the wedding party and it also turned out to be mine and Adam's last time out before Stella's arrival.

The Newlyweds!
