The Stella-ness around here is just so much fun these days. Every day she does something else funny and new.

So awhile ago we taught her how to blow on her food when it was hot. Then a few weeks later, I told her that the stove was hot when she was trying to touch it. So, she started blowing at the oven door, and now whenever she gets near the stove she tries to blow on it! So funny.

We also taught her to make this face when we ask “Stella, where’s your funny face?”. And now, I just say “Stella?” and she gives me the face.

           

A few days ago, I was waiting for a friend in my car and Stella was in the back seat sleeping. She had been eating a muffin, and fell asleep with the muffin wrapper and some muffin in her hand. I was taking some photos of her sleeping, and then in her SLEEP, she totally started eating the muffin! She took a bite, chewed it, smiled a little, took another bite, and then put her hand back down and didn’t wake up at all! This is her just before the mid-nap snacking episode:

              

She didn’t even move her head while she was eating. Maybe she already knows how to mess with me and she was awake the whole time. I’m really in for it if that’s the case.

I have also been asking her “How big are you?” and she puts her arms up above her head, no big deal. Then today she grabbed a spoon off of the table, and I said something like “How did you get that Stella?” and she puts both her arms up above her head, and looked at me like she was saying “Hellooo! I’m so big, remember?”

Yes darling you are so big. So big, so soon. Sigh.
