Lisa I'm so glad she liked the rattle/tether. And Lexie has that same purse. She loved it when she got it for her first Christmas home and she still plays with it. So I'm sure it will be a favorite of Stella's too. These Kaz girls are all about fashion you know!
I wish we were still going to be here in Texas when you bring her home but we'll be back for Thanksgiving so we'll have to get together so the girls can share accessory tips!
Stella looks great and you are so right. She is improving and developing by leaps and bounds. She'll be a running down the aisles of Macy's in no time!
Lisa: Stella just couldn't be any more darling. This video really shows how much stronger she is getting...she is gonna keep you running!! In just a few more days...she will officially be yours---AMAZING!
wow, what a huge difference from the first pictures/video and posts about stella. she has really progressed so much. she is SO alert! she seems very in tune to you, i love it!!!!
She is so beautiful and has a wonderful look about her. Can't wait for 45 days to pass and to see how she will blossom even more at home!!! You are almost there ... !
Oh Lisa, wow! I can see why you are so crazy head over heels in love with that little beauty! She is so incredibly beautiful, and her personality seems to be a mix of sweet, poised, and spunky all at the same time. Thanks for sharing a video!
She looks just perfect--she is just going to continue to grow and thrive with your loving care. I am getting very anxious to have her home with you so I can only imagine how you feel (well, I sort of remember it but you do kind of forget once she is home).
