Stella is 17 Months?!

What in the heck?! Do you realize that next month she'll be a year and a half?! Wow. It kind of makes me sad, but it makes me happy also to see all of the cool new things she's doing!
At 17 months she:

~Loves all animals, especially dogs. She has no fear of them which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

~Takes my jewelry on a daily basis and puts it on. (She's accidentally broken about five of my necklaces, but it's ok.)

~Loves to help me with the garden. She loves picking veggies and fruit (even when they're not quite ready to be picked.)

~Doesn't sit through Sacrament meeting anymore. I'm lucky if we get through taking the sacrament. She keeps me on my toes!

~Has quite a bit of hair! She has enough to put a clip in it although she doesn't let it stay in there.
~Likes killing ants. This is a skill taught to her by her Baba.

~Knows where her eyes are, and she kind of knows where her nose is.

~Plays a piano whenever she can get her little hands on one. We'll definitely need to get her in lessons when she gets older.

~Is still nursing about once a day, but she will be weened in a month (sniffle, sniffle.)

~Loves sweets! Uh oh! We need to be careful!

~Still enjoys books, but she doesn't tear them up as much anymore.

~Throws tantrums.

~Is starting to hit, and because of this she is also starting time out.

~Thinks it's really cool when Daddy paints her nails.

~Loves her church family!

~Signs! I'm going to take her to some activities in the deaf community because I don't want her to lose her signs as she is learning to talk more and more.

~Helps Daddy and Mommy around the house. She helps with outdoor work of Casey's, and she helps me with laundry. She also cleans up after herself pretty well. Yay!

~Already has at least three boys interested in her. NOOOOO!!!!

~Loves cell phones.

We had a Relief Society meeting tonight. I was looking for Stella a bit frantically because I couldn't find her, and my friend said, "Your baby is one of the most loved babies! No one would let anything happen to her!" She is a very blessed baby to have parents, family, and friends who love her so much. She loves all of us right back, too.
