Four

This little gal is 4!

For her birthday, we spent a delightful Saturday afternoon at Chuck-E-Cheese. 

 (Our Chuck-E-Cheese is right next to the fabric store, so she begs me to go there at least once a week :)

Stella is becoming quite the little lady.

She loves to play with her babies, barbies, pollys, kitchen, playdo, and Ellery Margaret of course. She loves to paint her nails, bake, and will fight for her fair share of time to dance with her dad

.

She is still quite stubborn, and is becoming very particular about what she wears.  When I pick out a dress for her, she will fight me if it's "not fancy enough"  meaning she wants twirl and ruffle.

She doesn't really nap anymore, tho she will konk out every afternoon on the couch around 5pm.... and she winds up in our bed every single night.

She loves to play with her Elly Margaret. They actually play together quite well.  Most days she coaxes her in her room and  they play house.  Stella is the mom, and Ellery is the "honey".

She talks non-stop, and is quite persistent!

Happy Birthday Stella!  We love you.
