Petting Farm: Round 3

Since this has been such a bonus only a mile or so from our rental - we've hit up the Petting Farm for our 3rd time, this time with JoNana & Grampy.

What a treat - dinner at Chef John's in charming uptown Kissimmee, FL AND Stella was a flipping GEM the entire time including the drive there and back. This is saying alot for her these days since she's been slowly but surely getting a mind of her own ;)

Thank you for a great din-din JoNana

Arepa!

Stella enjoying some of Consuelo's authentic Venezuelan cuisine - an Arepa. Consuelo is JoAnne's cleaning lady for her rental home and when i'm lucky some times for my house too ;)

Stella's First Word "UP!"

ohhhhhhhh Stella's first word "UP"!

Although she's said "eyes" before it's only been maybe just a few times and never as clear as this.

Stella Around The World!

And cousin Jodi pleasantly surprises us again with yet another photo for the Stella® blog feature: Stella Around The World!

"I finally unpacked the camera cord so I could upload these photos for you. When John and I arrived in NC 2 weeks ago we took a trip north to a place called Emerald Isle. Well, we got a little lost on our way home and we were driving down this country road when I saw the Stella sign. I literally screamed "Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" and John hit the brakes so we could pull over for a photo. I totally did not plan this one at all...we just happened to see it driving by. I'm totally on a roll with these, huh? haha." Enjoy! ~ Jodi Miller

Playtime With Daddy - Finally!

Justin has worked extremely hard, again, this year for the Florida annual auction. I'm really proud of him. And Stella is really glad to have her Daddy back to his normal hours.

She's Learning To Look Both Ways Before Crossing - even though this is just a dead end street

This is so funny! And only a few seconds long

Florida Mom's Weekend 2011

The 2nd Annual Florida Mom's Weekend 2011 was ALOT of fun for Miss Stella as she was just starting to get sick of hanging out with only adults ;) So 15-month Ryker from VT and 18-month Natalie from N.C. could not have arrived at a better time. Linda and Sarah - as always, i loved hangin' with you chicks. And how smooth did this go considering we had 3 toddlers together under the same roof for 4 days!!?!

It's a lunch date....on the kitchen floor

Some seriously cute girls in some seriously cute dresses ;)

Sweet Sweet Ryker

And here's the formal dining table for the babes....and where Ryker & Natalie chowed down 3 square meals and Stella maybe at about 2 grapes at a sitting ;)

Thanks Sarah for the super stylish shades & hat!
