Welcome!

Stella: 3 years old

check up stats:

- 37.5" (55%)
- 34.4lbs (82%)

love the doctor.  love pretending to be the doctor and to check our heart beats and ears/eyes/nose

dancing.  shake ya booty.

"repleece man" = "police man"  we are very concerned with the "police man" because if we don't follow the rules we will get in trouble with him (or so i say).

fairies and butterflies...friends til the end.  and mushroom tops are fairy trampolines...didn't you know?  fairies follow storms because they love rainbows and mushroom trampolines, both of which follow a storm, yes?  or that is my reasoning.

really into daft punk, mainly "around the world" "doing it right" and "get lucky".  after watching the "around the world" video you did the robot around the living room.

alter egos...you like to be called elizabeth sometimes.  you'll tell me that stella is home with shari and that you are elizabeth.  you also like to pretend to be katy, and i'm michele, and dad is uncle brad.  you really really just love playing pretend.

speaking of playing pretend, you were playing pretend with your palms the other day.  you had them perfectly flat, fingers straight up and no space between and had them facing each other having a conversation.  i love this.  so much.

my little pony.  again with the pretending, you're starlight (which is really the character 'twilight sparkle'), i'm apple jack, jane is rainbow dash and dad is spike.

refusing to let me dress you.

jumping in the crib with jane.  during nap time.  when you should be napping.  instead of playing.  ;)

being such a big help.  getting me diapers and wipes for jane.

being the opposite of a big help...everyday i pray to the heavens for more patience.  more patience, more patience.  you are so smart and eager, i sometimes forget you are but three years old.  because jane is such a handful sometimes i want you to grow up too fast i'm afraid.  and i'm sorry for it.  i feel like a terrible mother for it and i'm working my hardest to not have so many expectations of you.  you are a kid, be a kid.  and i will laugh when you pee all over our couch.  because we are learning...all of us.  learning and just living life.  it shouldnt be so serious.  and i love you.

on our way home from leila's birthday party in beaumont, you were tired and nodding off in the back and got so upset at the car for making your head fall forward....because it was lulling you to sleep.  2 seconds after your outburst you were asleep.  so cute.

being so proud of being 3.  and being able to show the number 3 with your fingers.

pacifiers.  the pink ones.

watching movies, obsessed.  anything will do but lately its: my little pony, winnie the pooh and cinderella.

our breakfast recently is biscoff sandwiches with the crusts cut off.  maybe not the healthiest but definitely delicious.  and did i mention crustless?

fearless in the water.  fearless all around.

excellent scooter.

love love love animals.  especially cats.  you like to pretend to be a baby kitty....are you sensing a trend?

and here is a slew of photos to catch us up on you lately....
