Mama-razzi Monday!

Stella J. Clark was spotted on Oct. 25 sporting her very stylish "Spooky Dress" made for her by her friend, Lola's mommy.

Little Boo at The Zoo: The Toledo Zoo

We met 4 of our friends at The Toledo Zoo today for Little Boo at the Zoo.  Stella's costume is getting GREAT USE considering she's not only worn it now twice and it's not even Halloween yet (Sylvania Fall Festival last weekend) but this adorable Snow Leopard costume was made by my Aunt Snookie for her son, my cousin, who is now 40 (or close too - sorry Jeremy forget how old you are!) - he was the first to wear it then it was handed down to all the cousins (me, amy, jodi, ryan, kelsey) then the cousin's kids (Jermemy's kids) AND NOW MISS STELLA!  She really likes it too.

How Old Is Stella?

One Of The Family....She's A LOUNGER!

Yes, it is no secret....Justin and I share a passion for LOUNGING.  And apparently, so does our daughter with her new contemporary & stylish faux black leather recliner.

Stella does not watch tv or movies at home, sometimes i wish she would just for a bit so i could maybe get something done.  In fact the only time she does is when i'm playing movies for her in the car.  But i realized i think the reason is because our tv room is on the small side and our honkin' big tv sits up rather high and for some reason she does not prefer the couch to watch anything and if she sits on the floor which is what she will do from time to time her little neck and head our slanted at a wierd angle in order to be able to see the tv screen that is up so high.....so i did some googling and came across this fantastic tv room addition to our current lounge gear.  and for the price, $69, hello - you can't beat that one WITH A STICK!

Now don't worry this doesn't mean i'm going to plop her in front of the screen all day long......but this is fun, i hope it doesn't get old for her and we can all enjoy a fun cartoon family movie some times ;)

UP NORTH: October 2010

While waiting for our food Jeamma whipped up this litte cap for Stella out of the placemat

Walking in Sutton's Bay....in her fab Anthropology Coat that her mommy scored in the major clearance rack back in Feb. in Florida

Stella glowing at all the attention she was getting in this coat from all the other shoppers - it was pretty funny how much she loved it all.  As if she were thinking to herself "oh no, pleasse really, oh thank you, oh ok keep feeding me more compliments, oh that's enough, really, thank you, ok how about one more"  :)
 

 Stella loved playing with all these garden fish

 Stella tries on her finglerless gloves that Jeamma made her just before we headed out for some window shopping.  OMG these are my FAVORITE THINGS she wears right now - she even made a matching hair clip for her hat too.

Uh oh, we're in trouble, Stella likes to shop.  She stopped by the outlets on the way home from Up North to pick up some velor cozies which she actually needed desparately - she had no cozies except for footsie pj's.
