Nine months and nursery tour

Stella has been crawling, cruising, and babbling this month.  She's so much fun!

Stella's nursery as been a work in progress ever since she arrived a few days before her due date.   Here's the (almost?) finished product:

These nursery pictures were handpainted by my friend and work colleague, Lisa English. They came out so cute -- I know we will use them in her room for years to come!

Aunt Janne croqueted this blanket for Stella. It's the same pattern she made for me and my sis when we were born and her grand-nieces and nephews (including Thomas). Stella's has little birds added to the pattern to match her room.



The lumbar pillow on the glider says "Thank Heavens for Little Ones."  It was a baby gift to my mom when I was born.



Stella's "G" cross-stitched Stella's name on the Story Family bassinet.  She is part of the third generation of Storys that have slept in it.
