Spoon fed

We have been trying to get Stella to eat with a spoon and last night she was actually very interested in doing it.  She seems like she is in fast forward lately and I want her to slow down.  She has been trying to talk, which always comes out as gibberish (I know one day she will just start talking in full sentences and freak us all out!) and has been playing independently.  Last night while I was rocking her to sleep, I looked around her messy, played in room and just laughed to myself.  Her books were all laid out next to each each other, her stuffed animals were out of their basket and she had her little Minnie doll stuffed tightly in a little red bucket. I always wonder what is going on in her head.  She likes to be in her room by herself, with her door closed.  One day I went in to check on her and she was rocking a stuffed lamb in her rocking chair.  She seriously melts my heart about a million times a day!
