Pull it along!

One of Stephie's latest skills is dragging her pull toys along with her by their strings. On a not-so-skillful note, check out Stephie's latest battle wound: a black eye from pulling her puzzle stacker down on top of herself. Ouch!

Three's a crowd

Three is fun in a boat......but not so fun in a crowded car! Ooofffff!Wow, look at that fountain!"I know, I thought it was pretty cool, too!"

Stephie's cool swim vest

Is it a flotation device? Or a fashion statement? You decide.Hanging out at the pool with Grandma Julie.Aaaaahhhh......refreshing!

17 months old!

Happy 17-month birthday to Stephie! Stephie can now do the signs for "milk," "please," "doggy," "bye," "tired," "ball," and of course her favorite word, "more." Stephie also loves to say YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH. She is very proficient at taking her shoes and socks off, and she has even learned to put her dirty socks IN her shoes when she is done with them. Mommy and Daddy are so proud!

Arboretum attempt

We tried to go on a tram ride at the arboretum today; instead, we got caught in a drenching rain. "Look guys, a storm!"Too late......but not too wet for a snack.Mommy got extremely wet too!

Baby Einstein

While Daddy folded laundry and Mommy cleaned up around the house, Stephie chilled out watching Baby Animals on the Farm."Hey look, there's that funny camera lady again! Quit interrupting my DVD!"

Stratford Square playground

Stephie escaped a very hot, humid afternoon with a visit to the Stratford Square Mall indoor playground. Slide down...
...sit down......climb on!
