Reading With Jeamma

Gliding With Ter-Bear

 Stella loved gliding on these in Leland with Ter-Bear - these are outside the candy store.

Everything AND The Kitchen Sink

As the old saying goes "Everything But The Kitchen Sink"...but revised a bit.  Stella will play with "Everything AND the Kitchen Sink!"  And for you grandparents - watch through past one minute for the cuteness.

From now on i will be including the link below the video for those of you that have trouble viewing video by simply clicking on it.

Stella's 2nd Cousin, Alec

 My cousin Jeremy and his 3 kids, along with Aunt Snookie, are Up North with us and let me tell you something, Alec, who is 13 yrs. old, who is Stella's 2nd cousin, is AWESOME with Stella!   This is not very typical of most 13 yr. old boys but a good portion of Alec's bringing up was surrounded by kids when his mom ran a daycare out of their home.  I've been referring to him as Stella's "Manny" - it's been nice, real nice ;)  gives me a chance to knit this poncho someone commissioned me to do for their granddaughter!

Radio Flyer Rocket

 On the way up north we stopped in a hand me down kid store to see about finding a high chair for the cottage since we forgot ours.  We opted against the sick ugly one they had and instead Jeamma and Ter-Bear left with a handful of great toys to leave Up North like this Radio Flyer Rocket which plays cute rocket blast off countdowns and reminds us of how she loves to play Rocket with her daddy - shooting her up in the air!  This will actually probably have to go back home to their house, it's way too cute.

Sweeter Than This Candy...

Yes, we do believe our Stella is sweeter than alllllllll the candy in this Leland Candy Store ;) but this photo is reallllly sweet, one of my favorites.  And if Stella could talk right now she would be saying "...and i'll take this one, and this one, and this one please."

Drive Up North

  Loving her puppy dog she got for her bday - she gives kisses and hugs to him

Look Whose A Whopping 17 lbs!

  Stella had a visit at the peds - not for her 1-year appt but sadly because after she turned one she got her first diaper rash :(   i'm just glad she never got one before - it was yeast induced (external not internal like some may question and it is Not caused from diet)....she has a prescribed cream and it's doing the trick!

We weighed her and she is now a whopping 17 lbs - and she still fit s perfect in her Size 2 diapers...at just over a year old.  Go Stella!

Happy 50th Great Uncle Mark!!!

Mama-razzi Monday...IS BACK!

so i've slacked on my Mama-razzi Monday postings over the last month because frankly i was so busy planning that bday bash for Stella and enjoying QT time with my hubby and Stella in VT that i kept forgetting.

but needless to say, Mama-razzi Monday IS BACK for all you Stella® Blog followers out there.

In this pic, Stella Jane Clark was spotted on August 19, 2010 looking quite chic in her Matilda Jane outfit as she had a lovely afternoon lunch visit with her 2nd cousin, Jodi, who flew in from Denver for her bday party.  Word has it that she did not want her 2nd cousin to leave because she had such a wonderful time with her over the 4 day visit.
