Oh Stella Bella, we are in THAT stage! You are either super happy or super sad. When you are loving life, you love everything and everyone. When you are sad you are so cutely pouty but can also go into full tantrum mode! You get over it pretty quickly and move on but anything but happy is new for you. 

You are so sweet and funny. You love to say "love you", "thank you" and "what happened?" You LOVE to go to the girls basketball games and I don't quite know how to tell you that last night was the last home game of the season and your favorite player is a senior. You call for her by name and say "Roll!" (as in "let's roll) and "Basketball"! You take my hand and lead me to the door and when we go to the game you spend your time coaching from the stands and cheering. Love it. 

You had the best time last night with your favorite player's Mom, they first time you met. You took to her just like you keep to other people. Warming up quickly and enjoying being passed around from friend to friend. Here is a little bit of what you are up to...

Will "read" board books on his own- All day long if you could!
Scribbles well
Brushes teeth with help- Yes, you love to brush your teeth
Stacks four blocks
Throws a ball overhand- Hard!
Takes toys apart and puts them back together
Shows signs of toilet training readiness- Very interested lately...

Strings two words together in phrases

I love getting to spend special time with you while Addi is at school. We are typically very busy running errands and visiting Daddy but it is just us and it is special. You are such a good girl and my sweet baby. I love that you still cuddle and find everything to be hysterically funny. I love you more than the moon and stars!
