Clothes

Stella has decided that she wants to dress herself

Lately it consists of pretty dress, a hat and shoes

She cracks me up!

We wore this hat over the weekend while it was raining and know she thinks she has to wear it ever time we go outside.

Pillow

The week after Stella's birthday she was sick with a really bad cold.

All she wanted to do was lay around and watch t.v.

So I would lay a blanket down 

and she would grab her new pillow my mom made for her birthday

and just lay and watch t.v. (mostly Dora)

 When she saw I was taking a picture she pulled out her binki and said cheese.

I am happy she is starting to like getting her picture taken.

 

I didn't ever think I would miss the overactive part of Stella but I hated that she laid around all day.

It just wasn't her and I am glad she is back to her self

Even if she is crazy and never stops moving, I LOVE IT

25 Years Old

I had a great 25th birthday.

I got to go to lunch with my parents

Hang out with Stella (at work, but it is still fun)

and had a great dinner at Pizza Factory with Scott, Lindsey, Greg and Steve

Pizza Factory even made me a "25" pizza for a surprise.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and presents!

I know my 25th year is going to be a good one!!

Stats

2 Year Stats

 {2.8.2011}

Weight: 19.97 lbs (0 percentile)

(Our goal was 20 lbs, so we almost made it)

Height: 33.46 Inches (40th percentile)

She is still on Pediasure (strawberry only or pink as Stella calls is, she won't drink the other flavors)

We will now be power packing her meals

which means adding more calories and protein without increasing the amount of food

(as soon as she is over this cold because she isn't eating anything right now)

I still can't believe that she is two.

I am so happy I get to spend everyday with her

even if a lot of the time is at work.

She is simply amazing

I love you Stella

Birthday Part 1

Stella's party was a blast, we kept it low key this year because Scott and I are so busy working.

Here are the decorations and opening presents.

We did an ice cream bar, where you could make an ice cream sundae or an ice cream cone

then we had cake chocolate and yellow (i realized that yellow is not really a flavor)

We had pink lemonade, mini waterbottles

and then pink and green candies that everyone could eat or take home in bags.

 I had issues with the Marshmallow fondant for some reason so there will be no up close pictures,

but it tasted really good.

 

 

 Thank you Laura for curling Stella's hair, it turned out gorgeous

 Grammy, Stella

Dan, Jenny

 Chelise, Ben

Becky, Alan

 Stella, Ky

There was no way I couldn't have done this by myself

Thank you Mom, Anna, and Laura for helping out

I am missing a couple pictures on the decor that I will post on the second part.
