Stella loves to bake. And here she is, accompanied by her esteemed culinary companions Zebra, Turtle and Cow, watching muffins rise in the oven. We often spend our mornings or afternoons tinkering around in the kitchen together. She's learning a whole lot about her senses by helping us cook and bake, and we love watching her make such basic but powerful connections.
Oh, and her sense of pride once she realizes that she helped make yummy muffins or whip up some ridiculously simple arugula pesto is beyond fabulous. 
Maybe it's because we've entered our delicious fruit season here in Washington State or maybe it's because we're thrilled to check the progress of our veggie garden everyday, but we're just loving all things culinary lately and our little one is becoming quite the foodie.
As for the veggie garden, Stella came in the other day after watering the beds with Papa and exclaimed, "Mama! Broccoli growin' strong!" And then, quite seriously, she patted her chest and said, "La La growin' strong." Yes, indeed.
