Mommy's first night out: FAIL

So last night I had a going away party to attend for a friend from work. I was going to take Stella but Jake offered last minute to watch her...so I bolted. As in, literally grabbed my black pump bag and ran...as in, forgot to kiss my family and say goodbye. I bolted. Not my best Mommy moment. 😁 

Anyway, wouldn't you know I had everything I needed....except the bottles and breast attachments so I had to come all the home, pump, (kiss everyone goodbye this time) and return. 😊 Big fail on my first attempts out but oh well. 

The funny part in all this is when Jake told Silas he was going to feed Stella, Silas looked at Jake and said, "how are going to feed Stella, you don't have big things like Mommy! You're kidding, right?" Ha! What a smart boy!!

Miss Stella is doing amazing. She has me wrapped so tightly around her finger...and her brother's. 😊 She is smiling and cooing and very interactive. I am head over heels!!

Here are Silas and Stella snuggling in Silas' bed

Love my babies!!!

Silas moment

Funny Silas moment that made Facebook but hasn't made the blog yet. Last week Jake found Silas squeezing his nipple and asked what he was doing. Silas replied, "trying to get milk for Stella 'cause she's crying."  Ha!! This kid cracks me up! Always so thoughtful and sweet to his sister, I pray it always continues!!

1 month old Stella

Oh, little Stella is sooooo sweet and delicious! She is so snuggly and loves to be on my shoulder/chest so much that that's where she spends most of her days. I am absolutely savoring as much time with her as I can and delighting in her squishiness and sweet baby smell. She definitely loves her Mama! 

Above is Silas and Stella, Stella at 4 weeks ready for her first Sunday at church. How sweet is this??

And today is Stella's first Halloween - last night was Beggar's Night (trick-or-tricking) so here are pictures from that. 

Not completely indicative of our night, but too funny not to share!!

Silas was a great Superman...our only complaint was that he talked too much...to everyone! He talked to people about their kids ("do you have kids? Can I see them?") and about their pets and about random things. We had to keep saying, "c'mon Silas!" I think he gets the social aspect from his father... ;)
