Introducing La La

Stella now refers to herself as La La. She loves looking at photos of herself and catching her reflection in mirrors and windows, and she indicates something is hers by proudly proclaiming "La La!" We love it.

Stella earned her plumbing stripes this weekend as she helped Papa put the kitchen sink back together. She was a trooper and loved playing with all the pipes....

...and tried to make a few phone calls.

Stella has also catapulted into full on talking mode recently. Her verbal development has been progressing like crazy over the last few weeks. She pretty much repeats whatever we say and is starting to string together several phrases. Her first full phrase was "Go Dog, Go," followed by "Love You." Literary references and affection - we love this kid.

While it seems sort of silly to list all her words at this point since she's talking so much, I'll share her current favorites.

Tunnel, tent, cheese, almond, straw, juice, milk, pepper, puppet, mole, pimple, heart, Bob, Cindie, Paqui, lion, panda, paws, mango, Michael (which sounds like mango), Ava, Kami, drink, ask, fly, bird, noise, loud, quiet, frog, clock, truck, naked, tiny, big, water, toast, pop, Vinnie, Cooper, Jannie, Carol, snow, eat, cuddle, sack, stories, light, kiss, help, please, elephant, waffle, sack of potatoes, love you...
