David will ask Stella if she wants to hear her song and she'll run over to the CD player. When he turns it on she starts dancing...which normally means she just stomps one foot over and over. Yesterday I gave her the ipod and put her song on and she loved it. She saw the ipod today and wouldn't stop bugging me until i gave it to her.
Could she be happier?

Thanksgiving
We had a lovely, albeit smaller, Barnhart Thanksgiving this year. We were short Aunts, Uncles and cousins this year but instead my mom and uncle and my friend (of 20+ years) Emily joined us for the celebration.
We all look so relaxed because the babies are sleeping.
Feeling a little too good...
Do you hear what I hear?
Wearing Grandpa's hat
We are so thankful for the love and support of our friends and family!

Yay!!!
I'll do all the other catch up stuff like Thanksgiving later because I have way better news. Aaron took his first solo steps yesterday. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! We haven't caught it on video yet but I did take a couple of pictures. This just makes us so happy.
Yo homies, this is how I roll. When I walk, I walk cool.
And then I lean in to get the music started.

Happy Birthday
I don't know if you know this, but yesterday was Elmo's birthday. Another thing you may not know is that Stella and Elmo are really tight. He stopped by so they could hang out for his big day.
Oh Stella, It was the best party ever. When you get older I'll bring you to Sesame Street so you can meet Cookie Monster. He's a riot.
And don't even get me started on Oscar. I've never met anyone who loves practical jokes more!
Please no pictures! I'm just hanging out with my friend. This better not end up on TMZ...
Oh, and it was Auntie Natalie's birthday too. Happy Birthday Natalie!

Halloween pictures
The Aaron puppy. Yes, he is standing unassisted. He didn't mind the costume at all but whenever Stella saw him, she'd pull off his ears and tail.
The Stella piglet. We just let her wear this around the house because it is hilarious.
Leaving our first house. Stella had no idea what was going on. Frankly, she was more interested in the decorations in the front yards than in the candy.
Stella's new favorite thing in the world is pumpkins. If you ask her where the pumpkins are she'll look till she finds one. And she makes all the appreciative noises which makes us laugh every time.
Here Stella is hanging onto Natalie's skirt. There was a treasure chest on the ground and this skeleton would emerge and then the lid would slam back down. The first time it happened, Stella jumped. When it happened again she grabbed Natalie's skirt. When it happened the third time she made Natalie pick her up. It was funny and kinda sad at the same time.
I think Aaron sees the skeleton in the chest now. You can't tell from the pictures but the owner of this tiny house went with a full pirate theme this year. She had an entire ship in her yard with a giant inflatable squid in it that she made from plastic table cloths. She had an entire graveyard, a row boat with talking skeletons a skeleton jail, skeleton flamingos, tons of crows tied into the trees, blinking lights, etc. This lady takes a week off of work to put it all up and it is amazing. Parents drive their kids over from other neighborhoods just to see her yard. She said she regularly gets 200+ kids every year.
And then Stella was all done. Goodnight!

Last weekend
We spent last weekend in NC visiting family. It was a super rare occurrence where all the Barnhart cousins were in the same place. We even got a picture!
On one of the lawns at Guilford. Aaron must have seen a plane or something.
Here Stella is taking off with one of Max's tennis balls. Max is the new German Shepard her cousins got.
Hey, where did every body go? Hello? Hellooooooo?

baby legs
Now that it has gotten colder I figured it was finally time to make some of these. I bought about 6 pairs of socks yesterday and hope to have them all converted by this evening. I made Stella a test pair last night and am happy to say they turned out beautifully even without the aid of a sewing machine. She is pushing these to their limits however, with her ample thighs. And diaper changing will be a snap.
She's holding her fake credit card. I hope she's going to treat herself to a haircut.
I think this is Aaron's worried face. He's worried I'm making him a pair next. Sorry little dude, I am.
And then a pair for his daddy.

Ready for Halloween
Cutting out the stencil for our first family pumpkin. Note stella's onesie (it says Daddy's little devil) and her awesome thighs.
Expert carving by Sarah, the babies cousin. Stella didn't hear that the marker portion of events was over. She wants Sarah to keep drawing.
Yeah, I'm looking pretty good here.
Give piglet alllll of your candy. Or piglet will find you...

Sprinkler
Gma and Gpa got new grass so they were allowed to water to make sure it doesn't die. If you aren't in Atlanta then maybe you aren't in a drought so this is a big deal...watering that is. The grandparents took the babies for a walk and when they got back Gma asked if she could run Stella through the sprinkler.
Hey Gma, let's not go through the sprinkler. I'll clean off your glasses instead.
Little yogurt break.
Goodbye summer...
