So glad that your experiencing a good start with Miss Stella. I enjoyed the family shots you took with the three kids. Stella is a lucky gal to have two big brothers. I agree with you, Mike about the boy sweat pants, what's the deal with that? I think you will find dressing Stella a little more interesting and of course pinker. Enjoy.

I think you will be equally comfortable teaching her about bikes as you will be wearing a hat to her garden tea parties. Just as I'm already excited to introduce the mogrunt to knitting and star wars.

We went from having 2 boys before the girl addition came along.. and she is an entirely different breed. She's beautiful, funny, sweet, yet full of attitude. She loves dresses and frilly girl things, but doesn't think twice about diving into the dirt while wearing them.
Having two older brothers has already taught her how to stand up for herself, fight back, and shake it off when she gets hurt.(And she's only 4!) She may look like a little princess, but she's a tough little thing. And I am SO happy that we were blessed with her. You'll love raising a girl, Mike.. Promise. =)

Impromptu tea parties complete with tiaras and feather boas. And perhaps a dino or two in attendance.

You're going to be good at this. I promise.

I can identify with you, truly. I went from being a bachelor with a bike repair stand in the living room (that poor carpet!) to bonus-Dad of two young girls in what seemed to be a matter of minutes, it happened so fast.

I promise you can come to me with questions, but be prepared for answers like, "Beats me, man, women are just weird." :-)

And yeah, girls can be Tomboys. P is quite comfortable swinging a hammer (another issue altogether) while wearing a princess dress and tiara. Good times.

Perhaps you should start some stretching exercises now, so you don't creak too much when she wraps you around her little finger ;-)

The beauty of being a girl is that we're allowed to like dinos and trucks AND fairies and ballerinas. Annalie is a girly-girl---she dresses up in frilly skirts and wears jewelry and play make-up---but she has no patience for having her hair done or barrettes, and she loves dinosaurs and sharks and anything to do with space or ancient Egypt.

I'd guess with two older brothers, she'll be into some of the same stuff her big brothers are. At least until she decides she is a GIRL and wants to be completely different from them. :-)

I hope Stella continues sleeping well and eating well for you!

Oh enjoy :) They are special little people. Oh and if I forgot to mention, open a new savings account called "Daddy I need....."
