stella mae is TWO!

Its our sweet babes birthday today & I honestly cant believe it even though thats what all moms say. What I would give to go back in time to two years ago when stella was born. I would go through that awful surgery & even more awful recovery all over again to just hold her newborn self. As much as I love watching her grow and develop into her own person, i miss those brand new baby days & don't get me started on that brand new baby smell. ;) Stella is growing up so quickly she learns a million new things every day and Im lucky enough to get a front row view!

Stella's nicknames at 2 years old:
stelly
stelly belly
stelly bean (ruby's favorite)
stella mae
&
stella mae jones (when she's naughty)

things stella says:
i have given up writing down all the words she says because homegirl is a CHATTERbox, and she will pretty much repeat anything we say so I narrowed it down to my favorites.
*she calls me mom or mimi no mommy
* uncle kole is now koley
* she will tell you ruby's name is belle
* she calls ally sister
* shhhh this is my song, is a new sentence that cracks me up
* it's gone is what she says when she can't find something or if daddy is at work he is gone
* I'm thirsty is also a popular one right now.
* she will ask all day wheres daddy/papa/kole/bubba

things stella knows:
* stella can identify yellow, pink, purple, & green. and she will point to the color and say its name.\
* stella uses a fork and spoon like a pro & can also use a normal cup for the most part. I can't believe i will be done with sippy cups soon

things stella dislikes:
* stella loves batman, captain america, ironman but for whatever reason spiderman scares her so badly she will have nightmares and wake up crying "maaaaannn"
* she has never liked being tickled and now if she gets tickled she will say "ow"
* she no longer likes her car seat because she discovered that a&r's seats are different than hers so she constantly wants to sit in their seats now.

things stella loves:
* she loves baby dolls & loves pretending she is a mommy.
* she loves babies in general if she sees babies or anyone sitting in a stroller she assumes they are babies and proceeds to yell "BABY BABY BABY"
* stella loves her food & easily out eats ally & ruby combined. She loves cereal and fruit but also loves salads.
* Aurora is her favorite princess as of right now & while we are on princess' she can identify all of the princess' but belle aurora and ariel are her favorites so she will say their names.
* the only movie she will sit and watch is frozen & gaspard and lisa are still her favorite show
*obsessed with books and the grinch is her favorite right now.
* stella loves dressing up
* she still loves her mae mae (blanket) and grey (stuffed zebra) and needs those to sleep.

things stella does:
* she will be the first to notice when i paint my nails and when i take my nail polish off.
* stella loves going to nursery & we will see come january if she still enjoys it once ruby isn't in with her anymore. But she loves the sweet songs they sing and always sings them at home along with the abc's which is a current fave.
*She has always loved dancing and that hasn't changed. she still enjoys maroon 5 & she likes taylor swift also, but what she loves dancing to most is iggy.
* stella loves putting the girls shoes on.
*stella is always the first to help me with chores especially unloading the dishwasher she hands me everything & she puts the silverware away, and she loves getting a new garbage bag and putting it in the trash can. She is also a pro at transferring the laundry from washer to dryer and dryer to basket.
* We took stellas paci away in october and she actually did a lot better than i thought she would. If pacis are brought up she will tell you that she gave hers to elmo and elmo is giving them to babies.
*She is giving me hints that she is getting closer to potty training & mommy wants to get past the holidays before tackling that.


Stella is a perfect piece in our family. Its fun to see how much alike she is to her sisters but she is also different is so many ways. I am so blessed that heavenly father trusts me to raise her! we love you stella mae happy 2ND birthday!

enjoy TWO year old pictures.
