Esme's buddy Jane

One of the best things about being a stay at home mom (Besides being Esme's mom) is hanging out with Kay and her girls. Jane loves dogs, and takes care of Stanley and Jane shows Esme how to play:)

We are going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!

We went to a little local Zoo with Kay, Meg, Kate, another Paige and Jane, Esme's favorite part was the Alpaca's

Poulsbo Excursion

We decided for Valentines day, our gift to each other was a day trip off of Bainbridge Island. We hopped a Ferry boat across part of the Puget Sound and drove up to a "Little Norway". It was sunny and Bright!

Rosy Cheeks

Champion Pose

We think it is pretty cute when Esme sleeps with her arms up, like she is a champion.

Look who is smiling:)

She thinks she is pretty neat. And we do too!

Growing Little Girl

I thought I would show how much our little girl has grown. This is a little Kimono style outfit, that is soft and sweet, and I think Esme wore it for the last time because her tummy pokes out the bottom of the shirt part...I thought I would do a before and after.

Church Outfit #2

This little dress is a favorite. If you look closely, you can see that there is an Italian Theme. Vespa's the Spanish Steps and a gelateria.

Mom's favorite Jammies

These are my favorite Jammies by far. I can't wait for her to wear them every time I do laundry, they are the first Jammies to go on. The little print is delicate little kittens, the fabric is light and soft, and the snaps are on the back with a little bum flap.

Church outfit

She wasn't too pleased to have her picture taken, but she looked cute on her first trip to church.

Esme's Signature Moves

Esme deep in thought.

James calls this "1st Position"

I am not sure what 1st position really refers to, but this is definitely one of Esme's signature moves. She also moves her arms and fingers in a slow motion...kind of "Matrix" like. We think she is pretty entertaining.

It's a wrap

Does it seem like I mention Melanie in every post...well it's no surprise, she has been such a wealth of knowledge and hand-me-downs. I call her my own personal google. If I ever have a question, she has the answer. Anyway, she has let me use this sleepy wrap thing, and Esme and I use it every day for about 20-40 minutes, and Esme pushes her self up to look at me. I think she would be getting tired of the view, me all day every day...however, I never get tired of the view of her:)

Baby Shower #2: THANK YOU!!

We are so spoiled to have such an incredible outpouring of generosity and support. Melanie, Kay and Shar hosted the Baby shower we had on Saturday. It was a tremendous turn out, and we all felt so very loved:) Thank you thank you thank you!!! We have taken the stroller out every day since we got it. Esme loves it and so do we.
