Stellie Bellie & Sisters

The sweetest little girl in the world has decided she will only eat pears - by the pound. She's developed clever methods of extracting otherwise unwanted (food other than pears) nutritious bits from her mouth. She clamps her lips closed, she spits it out and recoils for effect, she picks it out with her fingers, she feeds it to dogs or toddlers (whoever is quickest), and then she throws the rest on the floor. But if she sees a pear out of the corner of her eye - perhaps on the cutting board near her highchair - she starts indicating her preference with a steely gaze of determination! Someday she'll eat something else right?

My dad used to sing to me, "Every party needs a pooper, that's why we invited you...party pooper...party pooper..." We had a wonderful birthday lunch with the girls at Red Robin. I wanted to get a b-day picture outside and clearly Addie was not in the mood...I could hear my dad singing. I actually think the picts are quite funny! : )


On the left you will see Stella's alter ego...

Some random pictures from around the house - including two of the bottom ones where A&M dumped a pile of books in Stella's crib and sat there reading until I discovered them. They thought they were so naughty! Silly girls!

Now that the weather is nice we spend TONS of time outside in our backyard. It's a happy end to everybody's day. Although Alex would prefer the girls stop throwing things over the fence for him to fetch...

Tried Stella's sun hat on to see if it fit - she thought it would do. : )
