Thursdays

This evening, my very independent 79-week-old noticed undecorated cookies, a bowl of frosting and a bottle of sanding sugar on the kitchen counter.  Without consulting anyone, Stella slid a kitchen stool to the counter, climbed on said stool, opened the bottle of sugar and dumped it onto the plate of cookies.  From there, she just played, and tasted, and played, and tasted some more.
PS:  Stella had her 18-month checkup yesterday.  She weighs 23 pounds (putting her in the 40th percentile) and is 33 inches tall (putting her in the 90th percentile for height).
