stressed out

This morning I walked into Stella's room to get her out of bed. The very first thing she said to me was, "Mommy, I so 'tressed out!" I asked her, "Why are you so stressed out?" Turns out, it was because she took her pillow case off her pillow and couldn't get it back on. I love how she puts her words together.

Stella Smile

So, Stella has this new "smile" she does. Whenever we ask her to smile so pretty, this is what we get.

A day in the life...



So maybe I let her get away with a little more than usual here, but it was too funny. Grandparents, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. She's crazy!!

Here are some pics from our day. We had a little couch time and we read our respective books. Stella checking out her "Highlights" magazine, and Eisley reading her giant, fabric, it's-ok-to-eat-it book about bugs.


Stella obliges me for a moment and looks up.


...but she's just too into what she's doing.



Eisley, on the other hand...she's all about the camera. That little bean is way too cute!



Then, we had some play dough time!



The thing on the table is a snake, in case you were curious.





This girl is all into her play dough.



This is play dough "daddy".



Play dough daddy needed clothes on...apparently...so we gave him a nice button up shirt. He also needed ears, eyes and a smile. He's so handsome!



and bath time, of course...





notice that crazy smile on Stella? that's the smile I get every time I ask her to smile for the camera. she's so crazy!

mad moves

Stella's got some mad moves when it comes to the exersaucer. This isn't the best trick she's got- she's got one where she goes in headfirst and backwards, then flips over. That, by far, is the best move. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it on video. Here's the next best...

Eisley's First Food

Here's Eisley's first taste of something other than "milkies".




She's going to be ok with this whole "eating solids" bit, don't you think?
