Beware: The Child May Bite





Sam is my little monkey! He is now 12 months, and has been walking since May 13th. His new skill even landed him a spot in Mother's Day Out with Stella twice a week. Mommy is proud and grateful:) He is also an avid climber. His accomplishments include making it to the top of the kitchen table on multiple occasions, and even summiting the counter top. Yes, he is amazingly fearless!!!
Sam has been quite the little cuddle bug. Sam LOVES to give hugs and kisses. It makes me very happy to be showered with so much sweetness! He is learning a lot of words and signs: dadda, baby, down, night night, eat, more, all done, dog, sam, stella. His favorite book is Where is Baby's Belly Button or any book with a dog in it. He will also light up and clap to "If you are happy and you know it" (that's how i got him to smile and clap in photos 1 and 2 above). Lately Sam has been teething like crazy. He is using mommy as a teething toy. Not my favorite, but I will keep him none the less!
He is a lot like his sister, but also such a boy. I look at Sam (and Stella!!) and feel all warm and happy that Nate and I created such an amazing little being.

Happy Birthday Stella Bunny!

You make this world a better place
and I am so glad you are mine, Stella Rose.
Happy 2nd birthday, bunny!
I love you to the moon and back,
Mom


...here is the deepest secret nobody knows 
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud 
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; 
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide 
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart  
i carry your heart.  i carry it in my heart -e.e. cummings

Town Lake

We love to walk around Town Lake. Our friend, Amber, introduced us this little shady spot where you can feed bread to ducks, birds, turtles, and fish. It's gorgeous and Stella loves it!

Stella has chosen the "a little for you, a little for me" approach to feeding animals. Sharing IS caring.
