Kate & Charlie

Stephie had a great time playing at Kate and Charlie Harvey's house today. They even all posed for a picture together......before whee, off to the races!

Adobo Grill

While Daddy experienced the thrill of Madame Butterfly at the Lyric Opera House downtown tonight, Stephie experienced her own cultural adventure at the Adobo Grill in Lombard. She got to sample corn tortillas, jicima, avocado, corn, black beans, and cilantro chicken. The margarita, though, was just for show.

Teething hurts!

Stephie's top left tooth is mere milimeters from poking through her gums.

"This teething thing hurts! Maybe if I rub my hands on my teeth it will help...""Nope! This teething thing is for the birds!"

Sick day

No, Stephie is not sick again (thank goodness, the plague seems to finally have passed!), but Liz wasn't feeling the best, so Stephie went to hang out with Grandma Julie for the day. Activities included lunch with Mary...... and lots and lots of playtime!

Tiny Tykes

Stephie and Julia were all smiles today at My Gym. Cuties!

She flies through the air with the greatest of ease...

...that daring young girl on the flying trapeze.Her actions are graceful...
...all the boys she does please...
...and my love she has stolen away!

Sippy cup

After months of trying, Stephie successfully navigated the sippy cup into her mouth today. She practiced at both breakfast and lunch. Mmm, water!
