Our Little Fruit

I would definitely say we are a bit spoiled. It is not quite seven and Brad just looked up at me from where he is playing in the floor with Stella and told me that she is not sleeping yet...yes our baby not only sleeps through the night, there are many nights that she is tucked away at or before seven and rises smiling at seven thirty the next morning. We couldn't be more blessed!

We are having so much fun with Miss Personality. She doesn't think anything is funnier than her "puppies". If we are having a rough day, all I have to do is let the dogs run in and I am promised laughter filled moments as she watches the dogs lay in the floor. Monday through Friday Stella naps from around nine to eleven and then goes back down from about two to four. We spend a lot of afternoons over with Nina (Brad's mom) playing and getting the kind of love that only a grandmother can give!

She is so mobile, getting her hands on anything she sees! I am not sure if she will ever crawl forward the "traditional" way, she much prefers the army crawl but does crawl like a normal child when she goes backwards. She is so close to standing without help from mom and maintains a couple seconds before she goes down.

Last week I said something to Brad about her being strong willed and having a strong personality...he said, "I wonder where she gets that?" We had to laugh when we thought about where and who she comes from.

We had a great weekend, going on a date Friday night to celebrate Valentines Day. Bean had a slumber party with her Aunt Caitlin and Uncle James and seemed to have a really great time. Saturday, I guilt tripped Aunt Kendra (my best friend who recently moved to Tulsa) to come and see Stella. Lynsey also decided to drive over from Oklahoma City so I made Chicken Enchiladas and we hung out with Brad and my friend CT and the girls. It was a fun low key night, but Stella had not seen CT in five months (he is a contractor and has been traveling on the West Coast and Hawaii to work on some projects) and was TERRIFIED of him. Our friendly little girl is starting to get stranger danger!

We are looking forward to a great week with our beautiful, growing girl.
