You are now 20 weeks old (HFS!) and this week has been all about your legs and feet. Your legs, because I’m obsessed with dressing you in your new leggings, and your feet, because you’ve finally realized they are YOURS and you are very interested in them. 🙂

| Mmmmm…..toes! |
Daddy figured out that if he runs you into people so you can kick off of them that you die laughing. It’s the cutest thing in the world. 🙂
You definitely LOVE your Daddy. If you’re sitting in the living room, you track him with your whole head no matter where he goes. Daddy calls you his little owl. 🙂 Last Friday, we dressed you up in a Cardinals onesie you got from your “Auntie” Ann and your new baseball leggings so you would stay warm while we sat in the back yard having drinks with the neighbors after work. You are just too cute. 🙂

| You adore staring at the red and white Budweiser cans. LOL |

| Love that raised eyebrow, as always. 🙂 |

| Chillin’ on the chair while I cooked dinner. This is one of my very favorite outfits on you! |
I was doing laundry today, and I usually carry you in the basket up the stairs. It looks like you’re almost too big for this practice though!
After bath time, I’ll often nurse you in just your diaper and we’ll get some skin to skin time. I love staring at your perfect, soft skin…so clear that at times, it seems nearly translucent. My beautiful baby… 
12 years ago today, your 2nd cousin once removed died. I know that sounds like a crazy, long lost relative, but he and I were the same age, grew up a couple of miles apart, and he was actually one of my very best friends in the world. His baby girl was only one month old at the time (she is your 3rd cousin!). It scares me to death to think of ever losing you or having you lose me. I’m so glad you’re in my life, and I hope we get many, many years together.
I love you so much Stella,
Mommy

I remember when I first starting following your blog and you were snowboarding and going into restaurant bathrooms to give yourself a shot in the stomach! Times have certainly changed, it was all worth it, she is so beautiful! Looks pretty cozy in that laundry basket.
She is so cute! I love her little outfits.
Oh my god, love the video!! She is adorable and that laugh.. haha.. I love it!!! As always, loving all the new photos and all of her different expressions! 🙂 My husband was looking over my shoulder while I was reading this post and I said, "This is one of my favourite bloggers.. she's the one that enjoys a beer.. see (while pointing to the above beer photo).". Is it wrong that one of the things I like about you is your love of beer?! 😉
Hahaha. I love that you drink beer as well. We actually played bullshit the other night b/c of me thinking about your blog post!! LOL
I love her!
LOVED this post. She is FREAKISHLY adorable. Just love her.
