Fresh & Clean

Stella is doing amazing as usual! She is still the funniest thing ever, and so much fun. I am enjoying this age so much! Even with the crazy tantrums! We went to the science museum on Friday, just Stella & I. It was fun. Then we went to the lake with Daddy, InSub, Rhonda, Tom, Mark, Audrey and Makenzie to celebrate 4th of July! We had a blast there too! It was hot, but that didn't stop us. Daddy & InSub put on a really awesome fireworks show. Stella even got to do some sparklers! Audrey got some fantastic pictures of that too. Stella was playing with dominoes one day and she was stacking them. So, Jeff was doing it too. He got his stack up and said, "Look, I did it!" Stella looked at it and said, "It's going to fall over." Then she proceeded to slam it down with her hand. It was SO FUNNY!

This morning while I was trying to get us ready to go out the door Stella spilled her yogurt drink on herself and the couch. So, I got her down and was cleaning her up. I got some new pants to put on her and she looked at them and said, "Are those fresh and clean?"  It was so cute!

She is the most amazing thing I have ever done, and I try so hard to do all the right things for her.

Crazy Girl

Stella is extra hilarious today. We have a thing we do where I say do you know how much I love you? And first she always says Up to the moon and all the way back. So, today I asked her and she said All the way to Dixie Highway!

Thursday we were in the car the sun was shining on her. She was wiggling  her fingers and said My shadow looks like french fries.

Lovely Love!

Stella is up to her usual shenanigans! She is so bright and hilarious. We have a ritual where we say I love you up to the moon and all the way back, then I added, and more than all the stars in the sky. Then I added, more than all the fish in the sea. And Stella says it back to me, but when she says the last line she says, "More than all the fish in the seaweed!" It's cute. She also says, "I'm am" when she means to say I am. We have been working on it though and she is getting better! She is so much fun. I am trying to get her more involved with other kids though. She is really lacking in that area. We were at the golf scramble last weekend and there were some older kids there. She wanted to run after them up a flight of stairs, but I told her no that they were older than she is and she couldn't play with them. So she looked at me and said, "Oh, I guess I should just go play by myself." It was all I could do to keep from crying. It was SO sad. :(

Having fun at the Golf Scramble for Makenzie!

 Posing with Buddy Bat!

Merry go Round!

Happy Father's Day!!

Fun at the Zoo!

Kitty!



Funny!

Stella put something in her mouth this morning that she shouldn’t have, so in the car I told her, “If you start feeling funny, you need to tell Grammy.” So a minute later she just starts laughing, hahahaha. I said, “What?”. She said, “I feel like I am funny.” OMG it was hilarious. Sooooo funny, she is right!!

She is getting so big and grown up. It is so crazy to look at videos of her from a year ago. The differences are so insane. She is so smart and really a good 2 year old. She did have a REALLY bad tantrum in TJ Maxx last weekend. Jeff was with us, pretty sure he was super embarrased. It didn't phase me too much. I am just glad I handled it without screaming at her and losing my temper. I talked her down, but it took a little while.

She LOVES the water! I am pretty sure she would just swim all day if we let her. She loves going to the lake. She is so awesome.

Here is a hilarious video of her from last weekend. This was not her first time drinking Pepsi, but she was so obsessed with it!!

Chatty

Wow, my child talks non-stop. Every night I rock her to sleep she talks for like 15 minutes straight. She is so brilliant! A few nights ago I was rocking her and she says something I couldn't understand what she was dating so I kept asking her to say it again. Finally I realized she was saying, "I'm disappointed Mama." I could not believe she said that! She didn't give a reason why she was disappointed though. One of the cutest things she does lately is she means Naked as a jaybird, but says, "Naked as a jay burger! It's so cute.

Today she wore some shorts with a fake zipper. So, it was kind of like a vertical pocket. So, I'm putting Stella in the car and look down to the fake
zipper/pocket and there its a clump if hair sticking out if of it. I was like WTF!? Apparently she had taken clumps of the cats hair and stuck it in there thinking it was a pocket. It really tripped me it though when I saw it.

Last night I took off her diaper and it looked like she was straining. Then she said, "I'm trying to day on you!" I don't know where she got that.

She is also saying Man after a lot of her sentences. Like, "That is my toy Man!" It is pretty funny and she totally knows it!

Bad Move

Tonight I was trying to get Stella to cooperate for bed. I was using a serious tone and told her she needed to go to sleep. She said, "you're in a bad move!"

Last night she wanted to play with my ponytail, she said, "you doesn't mind right Mama?" There are quite a few things she says the phrase for but says it with the intent of a question. Like, "I can have this?"

One morning on the way to my mom's house we had to stop at the gas station. We pulled up the pump and she said, "you have to get some grass?"

Love

Stella was saying some if the best stuff today! I got to spend all day with her. Earlier she took this little bottle if hand sanitizer and decided she should rub it on my tits to make them sparkle. So she takes some sanitizer and rubs it on my feet. It was so funny. She has no idea what a pedicure is, but that is basically what she was doing.
Then when I was rocking her to sleep she have me a hug and said, "I love hugging you!" Then she said, "I'm your best friend Mama." It was too freaking precious! Sometimes it is stressful having to rock her to sleep every night, but I know when it's home I will miss it very much. I love her so.
