Rub-a-dub-dub

Stella got some new stuff for the tub.

Bubble bath, bath fizzies, bathtub crayons, and more. Bath time is lots of fun now thanks to some awesome birthday gifts.

Stella went for her 2 year check up today and she is doing so well. She is still tiny at only 22 1/2 lbs.

Sigh . . .

I cried. Apparently, I can't handle the transition to the toddler bed.

Checking out the new bed. . .





This is a sad face because Layla wouldn't listen when she asked her to come on. "'mon, Layla!"



All better!




I have to admit that I was happy that she still wanted to reach for us to help her down.

TWO

Stella is now two and what a celebration we had! It's been a great weekend full of fun, friends, and family. I can't believe that our baby is a big girl. I look back over blog posts from the past two years and get a little sad, but also happy at how much she grown and learned.

This year we had a county fair theme for Stella's party. It was at our church, Second Baptist. Lots of our favorite people were there and we all filled up on some delicious sweets. There were games for the kids and Stella opened fun gifts. I'm thankful for everyone who came and made her day so special.

CHEESE!

Stella hasn't been feeling well for the past few days, but you couldn't tell tonight while she was cuddling with her daddy. Layla hopped in their laps and that started major giggles from Stella.

My Loves

My two favorite people.

"Bass"

Stella got some cool bath toys from Mamaw and Papaw for Christmas. She loves them and bath time. If you ask her if she's ready for a bath, she goes to our hall closet where the towels are stored and stands there trying to take off her clothes. Since she hasn't mastered the "th" sound, bath normally sounds like "bass".

She actually loves to have her hair shampooed and rinsed. (Thankfully, since she has a mop on that head!)





She noticed I had the camera when she turned around so she said, "CHEESE!"

2012

We spent the first day of the new year with our family in Missouri. We celebrated Christmas together and ate our lucky black eyed peas. 2 holidays in one! Stella loved visiting with everyone. She talked about them all of the way home. We have a busy month ahead as we celebrate half of the family's birthdays and anniversaries. I hope the ice and snow play nice so we can all celebrate together. Stephen, Stella, and I wish each of you a happy, healthy year rich in God's blessings. We're anxious to see what 2012 has to offer!
