Although the self-will is in full effect, Stella's still SOOOO much fun!

Fairhope Trip

Tuckered out- recovering from her brief sickness.
Pumpkin did not want to pose for a photo - she wanted to run around Cracker Barrel by gosh!
Aunt Karen loaned this after Stella LOVED on it one night!

Grandaddy tickles the Bean.
Alice holds Olivia but Stella is mesmerized by the TV - other times she was wanting to play with her so bad!

AWESOME babypool here

Lots of cute moments of Stella enjoying her Ya-Ya, Grandaddy, Great-Grandaddy, cousins: Hatcher, Olivia, Alice and Christa along with time with her Aunt Karen, Uncle Paul and Addy & Papa. We enjoyed it!

Classic "Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" Photo

Ok, blog's back on. Let's see if I can ram up some consistency! Here's Miss Stella, 15 months. Attending nursery school, playing with baby dolls, talking a bit, walking a lot and asserting her will!

White Christmas

'Tis the Season

The Lovelace clan is ready for Christmas! Garland on the mantle, Christmas tree trimmed and cookies baked. Most importantly, Stella is learning about what the holidays mean: love, helping others and Jesus (we read the Jesus story in her "First Bible" which she prefers to eat....but we are getting there!) We can't stop smiling around here....lots of reasons to be grateful this holiday season.

Tickles from Daddy!

Lovelace Clan Extended

We traveled the week of Thanksgiving and saw Lovelace's, Myrick's, Thompson's, Nagel's, etc, etc! It was a fun time. We especially treasured eating Thanksgiving lunch with Paw-Paw, Stella's 91 year old Great-Grandfather at Grandaddy's & Ya-Ya's AND stopping in Montgomery to visit with Dede - (where Stella EDITH comes from) - her 97 year old Great-Grandmother!
Looking at the water...Perdido Bay....where it all started
It was 80 degrees on Thanksgiving! Stella needed her first pair of sunglasses!

1st Airplane Ride

We went to Amelia Island for Grandma's 80th birthday (I promise to procure a few of those pics from fam soon!) Here are a few from Stella's first plane ride. She enjoyed it oddly enough! Hope we have the same experience next time!
