Where did my baby go?

 Hugging, Loving, Kissing,......Stella loves to hug....she hugs Brent and I numerous times a day....As you can see here Sovie isn't really loving this very much:)  It has been so wonderful to have such an affectionate child, she says "I love you so much" and kisses us over and over..... (interesting because Brent wont even hold my hand in public, so she isn't getting this from watching her parents:))  One of the cutest things she has been doing is hooking us with her arms and saying "Best Friends" or even "Best friends forever."  I think she picked it up from a kids show.....but kinda glad she did because it is the cutest thing ever.  The first time it happened we were all sitting on the couch and she just hooked her arm around my neck and said, "Best Friends."  That made my day.

Stella is also able to sing the ABC song (at early age 2), identify colors and numbers, speak in sentences...especially when she wants us to stop doing something (like using our phones)  "Put it down!"  "Family" is another concept that has sunk in.  She will say, "Mommy is my family, and daddy is too."  She has stated that she wants a sister....so we shall see....
 She loves to feed her babies and animals in her high chair....
 Slides are her favorite
 Miniature shopping carts, a dream come true
Big girl swing!!!  ahaha really where did my baby go?  WE LOVE YOU STELLA!

 Brent has been doing awesome lately on his races....2nd and 3rd place overall!
 Haha classy, I know, nice copyright


Halloween!

 Cutest strawberry ever
 Good thing Stella wasn't still nursing.....
 So I found Stella's strawberry costume first, then the banana, so I had to go for one more piece of "produce."  I became the pea.... after buying the banana, I realized it was a child's costume..oh well, made it even more awesome on Brent.
 Stella caught on to the trick-or-treating game about half way through the night.  She started running and knocking on doors ahead of everyone else. I don't even think it was the candy that excited her so much, she just really like the knocking and saying trick-or-treat.

Discovery Museum and Thanksgiving Point

 Playing the piano and building a city at the Discover Gateway Museum. She loves this place!

 Dinosaur museum...Stella actually was scared of everything there except the sand...
 She loves the ponies now!  A month ago she was scared of them!
 Stella got to go to Corn-belly's twice this year.  They do a great job with this corn-maze/carnival!
 Her Daddy sent her on this cow train all by herself!
 Tons of slides
 Happy...or....Sad?

The Gardens at Thanksgiving point are beautiful....Stella loves feeding the fish
