SO behind on blogging.. I’ve been so busy I could cry, but my new years resolution is to be better, so we’ll see how it goes :/
While it was still nice enough, after naptime, me and the girls would go lounge in the backyard. I love that time of year!

I love this face, I can’t count how many pictures I have of this exact face..
It may look like Harlo is hitting Stella in the face, she’s not.. this is her “STEW…” look where she can’t handle it and wants to squeeze Stella (or Stew as we call her most days) Such a little mama!

My sweet little chubbit!

HARLO
Is the best big sister ever,
She is always giving Stella lovins, entertaining her, giving her toys to play with..
Trying to share her food with her.. I love every minute of it.
I’m loving the words and phrases she’s saying lately, I’ve been trying to keep a list:
“Bike-a-cyl” (any motorcycles or bicycles.. hey it makes more sense than ‘bicycle”)
“Watee-meh-yee” (watermelon)
“Via-Min” (vitamin)
“the Beep” (the jeep)
“Epp-a-lent” (elephant)
“Harlo By-U” (she wants you to sit by her)
“Airpane” (airplane)
“Harlo Do-It” (she wants to do it herself)
“Stella hold you” (usually when you’re holding Stella and she wants you to hold her instead)
“I want up down” (when she wants up in your arms, and wants you to sit down)
“I want down up” (when she wants down from your arms, and up on the bed/couch.)
“mommy up-a-side-down” (she wants you to hold her upside down)
She adds an “a” to things “Mommia”, “Daddia”, “Auntia”

She has such an imagination, I love watching that develop.
She talks to her babies and toys so cute, I notice she’ll say things to them that I say to Stella.
like “yerr okay!” or “well hello to you!” or “just a minute”
When I tell her it’s time to eat/nap/go she’ll say “mommy, I play for minute”
She’ll always tell her babies/elmo what they’re going to do, and then asks if they’re ready;
“Elmo go for a ride… ready?” “you go for a walk… ready?”
She sometimes gets confused by up/down or on/off.
When she wants to get out of her seat, she’ll sometimes say “buckles on” but she means “buckles off”
She loves wearing matching clothes with Stella. The other night she came in and Stella had her same jammies on and she goes “Stella! Harlo’s jammies!!”
at Swig I started getting her an ice water with a splash of lemonade (seriously like a shot) and she calls it “speshy drink” (special drink) and if I ask what it is, she’ll say “yemonyade”
I love her so much I don’t even know how to handle myself sometimes.

STELLA
is a CHUB of love.
love. love. love.
her monthly post is on it’s way.. stay tuned.
