Stella Turns 3!!!

So in the midst of having a new baby sister and having to move...again...Stella turned 3.  My little sidekick has faced many changes in the last few months and year.  She's learned how to pee & poo using indoor plumbing, how to deal with mommy's disappearing lap only to have to share this world with another little stinky, poopy, slobbering person, and has had to help mom househunt yet again and pack away all her belongings...again.  She has been an absolute PRO through it all.  She absolutely adores her little sister and Baby Z is always amazed and in awe of Big Sis.

Notice how the banner is still up from Stella turning 2 with one slight but significant change to the number.

With all of Grandma Lisby's help, we had the wherewithal to have a pre birthday birthday party for stella, again! Seems she gets away with at least 2 birthdays each year, depending on who's visiting.

Posing with her favorite birthday gift!

She won't make the same mistake this year with her candles, even if she is the Mother of Dragons

Nom Nom!

Had to go down to the Consulate in Edinburgh to register Baby Z's birth.  Stella was so helpful in tucking herself into bed that trip.

Happy Birthday Stella!

A PT in the making.

Farewell Devonshire Road...

Bye green house on Devonshire

...hello Forbesfield Road

Baby Z already realizes wearing her Texans jersey will in no way help them out at all.
