Stella and i got to hang out a lot today. I was off work. She is so hilarious and adorable. She said a million funny, smart things. She got her bangs trimmed and a shot. She cried while getting the hair cut and didn't flinch when she got the shot. That's my girl :) We also went to the zoo and the grocery.
This morning we were home and I told her I was going down stairs to do some laundry. So, I hear her talking and I can't make out what she's saying. Finally I hear her, she's saying Mommy I need help. Plain as that. So, I go running up the stairs and pick her up. She asks me what's wrong. Lol, she was just wanting needing help with her alphabet puzzle.
Then at the grocery, we had been shopping for a while, out of nowhere she says, Nice to see you mommy. It was hilarious, then she repeated it over and over. She also has memorized the Care bears theme song already. It's so cute because they sing Lala lala la, and she does that part.
Oh yes, she also is ahead of her time in another way. We were reading her Elmo ABC book this morning, she has only had it a few weeks. So, I start reading, Is A Elmo's favorite letter. She said, you skipped a page. I was like huh? Sure enough I did. Lol.
She also says her last name pretty clearly. And she will say her whole name, Stella Westenhofer. It is freaking adorable. Trying to get it on video soon!

Cute things my baby says!

Stella says so many funny, cute

things. I'm going to try and start blogging some.
We were in the car and I was giving Stella some sun chips. She was sizing off so I stopped giving them to her chips. When we got home and I got out of the car, she started crying. I went to get her out and asked her if she was sleepy. In a sad sniffly voice she said, "Need more chips." It was so funny!

She also likes the book Where the wild things are. Except she thinks the title is, Be still. Haha, it's so adorable. She'll say read be still?

18 month stats

At Stella's 18 month dr appointment on 9-16-11 she weighed 22 lbs and 14 oz. She was 31.75 inches tall. She was running a fever so she didn't get her vaccination.

Yoda

I just had to post something so cute that happened the other day. Stella and I were at Target, and they had a display of Star Wars dvds. On the side was a skinny shot of Yoda. When Stella saw it she said "toad?". It was hilarious. She is so brilliant. She can pretty much spell her name. Then when she's done she shouts STELLA! It's adorable. I love her so much, she's amazing!

Sweet heart!

My baby is such a sweetheart. She still gives amazing snuggly hugs and kisses. She is a little love bug. She is getting smarter by the minute. Last weekend we went to Erin's birthday party. That was a lot of fun! Stella was playing with Natalie, a 3 yr old. When she warmed up she said to me, Shake her hand? :) I'm still not sure how she knew that is what you do when you first meet people. It was so cute.
She also really loves money now. She loves to collect change and put it in her piggy bank. She can say "money" perfectly!

Heart melter

Stella is doing so amazing, and she'll be 18 months old tomorrow! The time has flown by! She is so big and can do so many things. She can drink from a regular cup, earlier she said a 6 word sentence. She remembers so many things, and she's like a little parrot. She can repeat anything! Oh yea her six word sentence was: Mister meow get in the water.
Last night when we were rocking to go to bed, she took her sweet little hand and put it on my cheek anf gently patted it. It was one of those moments where you just want to shout because your heart is over flowing with live and joy. Priceless.
She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse sooo much. She also loves money, we found some change one day. Now she wants any change she sees, and we put it in her piggy bank.
I crocheted her a hat anf a matching one for her baby doll.I was hoping if the doll wore one, Stella would want to wear hers. No luck with that. But Pawpaw was coming over to see her, so to convince her to wear it I told her pawpaw wanted to see her with the hat on. She still didn't want to keep it on, but when dad got here she looked out the window and saw pawpaw and she said HAT! With urgency, because she knew he wanted to see her with the hat on! It was so adorable.
She was just drinking milk and spilled a little on the floor, and right away she said, Come here Darcie! while patting her leg. I guides she really picks up on what we do. Lol

Stella in August

Wow, I cannot believe my little baby will be 18 months in a week and a half. The time really passes you by if you're not careful! The strange thing is, I feel like she is older than 18 months. She just seems so grown up and mature. I guess I don't know what age 2 is like though. She is such a joy and a blessing. She is so smart and hilarious. She has a crazy memory and remembers things days and weeks later! That blows my mind. Usually it's things she has only heard or read a couple times. Last night I read her the book Pajama Time. The last page goes like this

It's Pajama Time

Hush, Hush

It's Pajama Time

Hush, Hush

It's Pajama Time

After we read that and Llama Llama Red Pajama I was rocking her and she kept saying Jamma Time, Hush Hush! It was so cute, it doesn't sound exactly right. She loves Llama Llama by the way, but she can't say Llama so she calls him Baby Mama. Haha!

We went to Squire Boone Caverns a few weeks ago and that was a lot of fun! We also just had girls weekend at the lake with Grammie, Aunt LuAnn and Erin. That was a blast too!

I made her a cute hat and crocheted one for her doll too. I was hoping if the doll wore one I could convince Stella to wear hers too. No dice. The most she left it on was 2 minutes. Well, Pawpaw was coming over to see her and I told her he wanted to see her wearing her new hat. That still didn't work and she kept ripping it off. So, Pawpaw pulled up out front and we looked out the door and I asked who it was. She said Pawpaw, and then looked at me and said HAT! with urgency. It was so sweet and funny because she knew he wanted to see her in the hat and she didn't have it on.

She says a bizillion words now and does mostly 3 word sentences and some 4 word sentences. She can call the cats by their nick names. Fatty McGee and Mister Meow. Sounds like Fat Mcgebee and Misour Meow. So adorable. I have not been blogging all the stuff I would like to, I am going to try to start!
