These are the sunflowers that Stella originally planted in daycare. She brought them home in a teeny-tiny pot and we transplanted them to our flower garden. We got our first bloom yesterday. She was excited. Looks like there will be lots more soon!
Andy took Stella out for a quick bike ride on Sunday. She did really well considering she hasn't been in the bike trailer in about a year. She sat back and read her Highlights magazine while enjoying the breeze! Andy, on the other hand, got a great workout lugging her through our HILLY neighborhood.Here's a quick video from the Dance Party that occurred in the Wade Kitchen last night. Having kids is SO MUCH FUN.
I came home from the grocery this morning to Stella dancing to "mommy music". She's becoming a big fan of my favorite local group - Over the Rhine. Good choice Stella! Enjoy the short video clips...ta-dah!
Here is a video of Stella and Charlotte this morning. Stella is telling Charlotte "good morning" and trying to give her a kiss on her head (unprompted!!).
More pictures from the patio the other night. Julie - thanks for the bathing suit!!
Earlier this spring Stella planted sunflower seeds in a tiny pot in her daycare classroom. We brought them home and planted them in our garden in May. They are growing like crazy!! Here are some pictures of Stella checking on them this afternoon. She is saying, "Here they are! Stella's sunflowers!!" Wish I had the video camera. We'll post more pictures once they bloom.
Bath time is always amusing when daddy is in charge. This particular night it was "how many ducks can we balance on Stella's head?" Answer = 3.
Tonight we went to my aunt's to eat dinner and swim. My dad was still in town and my sister joined us with James and Adam. The kids had so much fun. I wasn't sure how Stella would react. She LOVES her baths, but hasn't been in a pool since December. (We skipped the winter swim lessons due to Charlotte's arrival.) As soon as we got there, Stella pointed at the pool and said, "I go in water, mama". She had so much fun. She kept telling me to "let go mama". Then she wanted to jump in off of the side. We did that repeatedly with me catching her...I let her go under once and she wasn't so sure about that!
Stella singing "Twinkle Twinkle" with my dad:
Below are a few videos of the evening. Stella and I did some dancing and Stella did a LOT of running in between chairs. She fell a few times and I told her to quit running so she wouldn't fall down. She replied (with the saddest look on her face), "No mama, I run."
