My Montage 2/10/10 at OneTrueMedia.com

Stella really enjoyed doing Mommy's hair one day. She even held the clip in her mouth just like I do when I'm putting her hair up. We were very excited to find that her hair now fits into a pony tail. I think it makes her look like a very big gir. She loved showing her new pony off to the camera. She kept turning so that I could get good shots of the back! :) Stella loves to color and has spent a lot of time recently doing so. It's only made better if she can use a pen. She will point up to the top of the comp. cabinet and say "Iwannapen". A friend of ours got us some 'Brain Noodles' for christmas and we have a lot of fun being creative with them. We made crowns one day for the whole family. Even Stella's baby got one.

Feelings

Stella has been developing over the course of the past several months a real ability to show empathy towards others. Especially when they are her age or younger. If she hears a baby cry in a store she seems genuinely concerned, when others around her are happy, she is happy. Tonight when a friend of hers got in a bit of trouble at a birthday party, Stella heard him crying from the other room and kept saying his name to me and pointed to where he was, this was upsetting her. I rented a book from the library about feelings, as she has started telling me 'happy' lately. In this book there are pictures of kids showing each feeling.. scared, hurt, happy, proud, shy etc. We've been experimenting with making these different faces and it has brought a lot of laughs!. Here are some of them...

(not too) ANGRY face
