Friday afternoon

This weekend UT is playing so Stella broke out her orange and white.
One of her favorite activities these days is playing with the water in the sink.
She likes filling and pouring her bottles.
After coming home from daycare, she played for a while in the sink and then mom, dad, and Stella went outside for a Popsicle.
Friday was a little rainy in Knoxville but we had a little break in the clouds in the afternoon.

Molars

In the last 2 weeks, Stella has been acting like her mouth is hurting. She has been waking up more often at night with a pained cry.
Then, Friday when mom was getting her ready for bed, she started crying. With her mouth open, her left bottom molar and top tooth could be seen poking through her gums.
She's needed a dose of Tylenol most nights to help with the pain. If possible, we'll add some pictures of her new choppers soon! Here are a few recent pics.

Stella's first roller coaster ride - 8/24/15

While in Cleveland Dad & Grandma took Stella to Memphis Kiddie Park, an amusement park that both Joe & Ruth (Grandma) went to as little kids.
Memphis Kiddie Park is an 11-ride amusement park located in BrooklynOhio, designed specifically for children and families. The park is home to the "Little Dipper" roller coaster—the oldest operating steel roller coaster in North America. 
Three generations of visiting Memphis Kiddie Park, which opened on May 28th, 1952.
Stella really didn't care to much for the merry-go-round at first, but warmed up to it. Below: Stella's first roller coaster ride on "Little Dipper." 
As you can see, Stella wasn't enjoying the Little Dipper Coaster and Dad had a hard time just fitting into the seat, the same seat that he once sat in when just a little boy himself. 
Stella enjoyed the mini train ride around the park with Dad and Grandma. 


Checking out the space shuttle ride....
and making sure the ride is safe and up to code by examining the bolts. 
"That" - Stella curious about the bunny.
