My baby celebrated her half birthday yesterday!

She's officially 18 months!!!

This means she's closer to 2 than to 1, AND that she's of nursery age.

I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I still have vivid memories of her birth and newbie days.

At 18 months Stella....

- wants to be outside at ALL times.

- is a total Daddy's girl and yells "Dada" constantly.

- craves "canny" (candy).

- has a shoe fetish & tries everyone's on.

- loves books and screams to take them with her wherever she goes.

- enjoys tractor rides with James every day.

- copies me at everything I do & attempts to clean things.

- has too many words to type down.

- dances the instant she hears music (looks more like a bobbly head dance).

- hates to have her hair done and pulls out her ponies.

- colors.

- squeals at the site of a dog then cries in fear when they get too close.

- mimics animal sounds.

- wants to go on walks on her trike every time we go outside.

- loves her brothers & her friends.

- sits on the couch for shows but jumps up after 2 minutes.

- yells out "baby" whenever she sees a doll, baby or small animal.

She's the sweetest thing this side of the Mississippi!
