Miss Hollywood Stella not ready to be revealed...LOL! No autographs please!Yesterday I went to the BH all by myself, I had taken in a new outfit for Miss Stella on Monday so it took them awhile to get her all dolled up for me. As I was waiting outside of the group #3 door I could hear this beautiful song being sung by one of the caregivers. I don't know why I didn't think to record it on my
When I got back to the apartment the
We are still deciding what we will do today...kind of wanted to go to the chocolate factory. We've asked to go to the mountains but the
I am just back from the Baby House. This time when the caregiver came to the door with Stella she came right to me with her arms out for me. I melted. She can do no wrong! It started to rain so we visited inside today. No big first but we had fun.
When I went to Stella's room I handed her to the caregiver and she tried to come back to me....a first. The caregivers told Galina that Stella Sabrina was getting spoiled and that she cries for extra attention and wants to be held. They said this with a smile...thank goodness! It is a hard process on her, one that she can't understand, I am sure. She gets a couple of hours a day of attention and then wants more...you can't blame her because this sweet pea deserves all the attention that I can give her. I know that the caregivers are happy for her but it must make their jobs harder for them? They seem to love her so I pray that they will continue to give her the attention after I am gone. I should be home in 1 week from today. I find myself tearing up when I leave her and not notice until I walk away and feel the tear run down my face...much like now.... my poor angel girl...can't wait to get you home.......
Such a sweet, sweet photo!!!! Thanks for the quick glimpse :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sunglasses! Just curious how you chose the name Stella (you know I love it!) I know how you had chosen Sam if you adopted a boy...
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to give them back at the end of the visits! Especially a sweetie like your Stella.
ReplyDeleteLove the shades...cause her future's so bright! Certainly sounds as if she is loving you loving her...how awesome is this process?
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa! My daughter LOVED the song "La Dushki" and I never got a recording...is there anyway I can get a copy of that CD of yours?! Did they have another copy at the store? I would gladly pay for it plus shipping...anyway, so lucky you found it for Stella!
ReplyDeleteThe caretakers would tell us after the first week that our daughter was getting "naughty" and we should take her home right away. =) They meant it as a compliment but also it does make their work more difficult when a baby becomes more active and does more than lie on the floor or in the playpen and chew on a rattle. The transformation is remarkable to witness. I enjoy the "baby bits" photos and am so happy for you!
I love the sunglasses picture--she is so adorable. What a loving post--how hard it will be to leave her but just think of it this way--the sooner you get home, the sooner you will be able to go back.
ReplyDeleteThat is my favorite picture so far. The shades make her a star! Hollywood is not ready for Ms Stella. Keep the pictures coming.
ReplyDeleteLove that they are singing ladushki to them there too. It means "clapping clapping". It's a rhyme about a grandmother and porridge etc. If you are able to buy a second cd, I would love to have a copy. I sing it to Anelya all of the time!
ReplyDeleteStella is stunning. I have been suffering from withdrawal, asI have not been able to get to blogs this week. So happy to be catching up! Only 4 days of bonding left. WHAT???????? It's amazing how the time flies once you get into it. Can wait for further developments.
Love you
