November and December...

Hello, Everyone! We hope that this season finds you all happy, healthy and warm! :) I had some good pictures to share with you, so I thought I'd send a few on through. These are from Thanksgiving Day (the ones where Stella is wearing the brown shirt and orange skirt), a few from decorating our house for Christmas and then there are some we took today with her in her Christmas Dress.

Stella continues to grow and amaze us every day. She is so funny and has her own little personality. She is officially approaching the 'terrible twos' we've decided. She is determined to have things 'her way'!..and if she doesn't get that, then beware, a 'fit' may ensue! :) The bad news for us is that she is so dang cute, even when throwing a fit, that we can't help but just laugh and give her kisses!

She is talking a lot now - she can pretty much say anything you ask her to. She is learning her letters and numbers and is loving all the books that the Simons sent her! She is 32 inches tall and 20 pounds now (at her 18 month well-check).

She has been loving all the Christmas decorations, lights, etc. She knows that Santa says 'Ho, ho, ho' and although I don't think she really understands the present concept yet, she is definitely having fun with the whole season!

She is so beautiful and such a blessing. We are amazed by her every day - in so many ways.

Enjoy the pictures and we wish you all a Merry Christmas!
