So today was the first day Stella and I were home alone all day (Matt is in the cities). I was a little nervous. Up until now I've known that if something goes wrong, at least Matt's in his office downstairs. Surprisingly, it's been a very easy day. Stella is so laid back unless her tummy hurts and makes my job easy. More and more every day it feels less and less like babysitting and more and more like she's mine. I've gone from "I can't believe she's mine" to "I can't imagine my life without her". This past month has been a lot of bonding and getting to know each other, and now I'm ready to take her with me everywhere. I'm so excited to see everyone over Christmas and have Stella meet so many new people. We got our Christmas tree up and Matt decorated it himself because I fell asleep. Stella loves staring at it and looking at all the lights. Her little personality is already coming through!
