Ho! Ho! Ho!

Stella + Santa had a stare down with the Santa at the Mall... 


then, she saw Santa again at school, this time with his lovely wife Mrs. Claus, and she was still incredibly amused.

9 Months, a speedy crawl + mischief!

Somehow, our little Stel, the tiny baby that used to hiccup all the time after she ate, would flail her arms uncontrollably, loved to snuggle on mommy and daddy, has turned into this beautiful, giggly, curious little girl.  When did this happen?






In her ninth month, those cheeks have gotten bigger, her crawling has gotten faster and her curiosity has increased 1000%.  Out with the days of staying in one place, or crawling within one room and in are the days of crawling immediately to Jackie's doggie bowl in the morning to splash her hands in the water and grab a few of his dog food bites.  She loves to clap for herself constantly, babble and has started to enunciate "da da da", hit the doorstoppers, play with all of her toys, especially her new Elmo from Grandma Lien + remote from Grandpa Jolly, she excels at facetiming and drooling through multiple shirts in one day!

Here are some of the fun things we did this month!
Laughing with Grandma Jolly!

Loves crawling to the door and staring outside 
Playing is tough work!

Uncle Chad came to visit!

My new favorite thing.

Stella's new house!

Loves playing with Auntie Heidi!

All smiles with her crazy aunties.

modeling for Sunday's Best.
She's in the 56 percentile for weight (19lbs 4 oz) + 71 percentile for height (28 1/4 inches).

And to end with the best sound in the world.

XOXO.
