Stella Is Two!

	On really cold days, Mom (and sometimes Dad) takes us to the Conservatory at Como Park in St. Paul, so we can run around without jackets on.
It's swell. I can go around in circles for hours!
	Okay, birthday time! I don't quite get the concept of unwrapping presents yet... fortunately, I have a big sister to help.
Uncle Charles & Aunt Melissa (& my cousins Casey & Jessica) got me a ducky for the bath.
	It's bigger than my head -- but I like it!
Daddy watches as I blow out the candles on my first birthday cake of the weekend.
	I tuck right in.
Unwrapping gifts is a new concept -- eating, I have the hang of!
	After a pleasant afternoon with family, Mommy reads to me on the living room couch.
Later that day, it's bathtime. Daddy was sad that the picture's out of focus, but it gets the point across.
	See? Ducky's in there with us!
Oh, boy -- Sunday, and another birthday party! (yesterday Family; today, Friends)
	I got a baby doll from Jane.
Let's see now.. I remember seeing this done once, but from a different perspective...
	This time, I started blowing at the candles as soon as they came in the room!
That night, before bathtime, I opened presents for the third time this weekend -- this time, gifts from my family in California. I got lots and lots of cool books!
