Development

My baby is getting bigger! She is running around the house and getting into trouble. Her favorite toys are "pretend play" things, like babies, toy laptops and phones, and her little shopping cart. She loves to imitate grown-ups and her big brother. Her favorite dvd is Baby Signing Time, and she tends to sign when she is upset or excited. She says lots of individual words, like Mama, Daddy, Henry, Mimi (Mercy), Papa Grandpa), Dog Dog, Bubble, Pop, UP!, and of course her favorite word, NO! She also says sentence-long gibberish and has said a 5 word sentence when repeating her big cousin. Stella is the social one in our family for sure. She loves church, when friends stop by, and to go upstairs to play with her cousin. She gets bored and will bang on the front door to let me know she wants to go out. She is still a snuggler, and will give you a nice long hug that will melt your heart. She also poses for pictures or if you smile at her. She has a baby mullet and won't abide headbands, although she is getting more interested in Mommy's tricked out bows. Stella is big for her age, and is going through clothes like crazy. Oh and she poops on the potty if you get her there in time.
