OK, I'm a TERRIBLE blogger -

it's been two months since our last post!!!

Here's what Estella has been up to...
(mostly in reverse order of events)

As of May 15th,
Estella is officially bigger than Charlie (the cat)!
12 pounds 6.5 ounces
23 1/4 inches
Charlie weighs in at exactly 12 pounds 1 ounce.

The above picture was taken about a month ago,
so Estella is a little bit bigger than this
(and usually has a bow in her hair).

Life at Home

We're trying to get her to like sunglasses.
This is one of her 3 pairs.

This is Daddy and Estella with Max, our neighbor.
He is the "big boy" on our block - so cute!

With Sam, Max's little brother,
at Max's birthday party in our back yard.

Chillin' with Daddy before bed.

Hanging out in the back yard...

And falling asleep in the back yard -
it was a little cold, so Mommy & Daddy
turned my blanket into a "nest..."

EASTER!!!
Look what the Easter Bunny brought!

Estella wore a beautiful dress from Ms. Swift,
and a bib from her Aunt Dorothy.

Papi and DeeDee came to visit for her first Easter.

This is right before church...

And this is after church...

The day before Easter, we cooked out in the back yard.
DeeDee and Estella...

and Papi, Daddy, and Estella waiting for the grill to heat up...

Estella and Mommy's first MOTHER'S DAY!!!

First we went to Aunt Laura's house
and surprise MaMaw (Carol)!
She didn't know we were coming.

Estella with Carol and Sandy...

And "Aunt" Sallie Marie (Bert's cousin)...

Then we went to Gracie and Doc's house.
Here are four generations of Cochran/Weeks women...

Dinner Time!!!
We LOOOOOVE carrots!

Watching the Kentucky Derby!
In case you didn't know,
hats are a necessary Derby accessory -

Our trip to Double Decker
was AWESOME -
we got to visit with DeeDee...

bathe in the kitchen sink...

play with Mommy...

and meet MIMS MASON!!!
(new bffs at play)

Estella wore her tutu outfit that
Aunt Lorin and Caroline gave her.

But she changed into her new linen dress
that DeeDee gave her (and Mims) so that
she and Mims would match.
Baby Owls at play!
Aren't they adorable!!!

And then we flew home with Cole and Luke!
Their first plane ride - he he he!

And this is Mommy's birthday weekend (the week before).
Estella and Daddy gave Mommy flowers on her actual birthday...

And then took her shopping that weekend!

Here we are right before heading to Canal Place
(in our pink tutu outfit and new hat).

And with Daddy...

More pictures to come soon!
Much love to everyone!
