When you attend babyshowers, sometimes you're subjected to games you might not be all that excited about playing. I'm sure some of you have been there. It's a part of the tradition at these functions, and sometimes, you win cute stuff. Anyway- there was a list I came across for this purpose. You give them …
5 Months!
Dear Esther, Where have these 5 months gone? It seems like only yesterday you were this little ball of newborn flesh and hair that we carried home from the hospital. We were overwhelmed by both anxiety and joy. We were parents and you were finally here. Those next few weeks are mostly a blur as I danced …
Times Keeps Rolling…
"I am 4 months old! I know! I've discovered my hands. I can't get enough of them. I like to look at them, touch them together and put them all up in my mouth..YUM! I love my morning time with daddy, and my snuggle time with mommy at bedtime. I love to laugh and smile and sing songs. Oh, and I …
4 months!
Our baby girl is 4 months old and I cannot believe it. It has been such a treat to watch her little personality develop. She has preferences, different moods and it quite the talker. I will post photos sometime this week after her 4 month photo shoot with mom. She has her 4 month check …
Week One
I'm at the end of my first week back at work. It has been so great to catch up with co-workers and to rejoin the workforce downtown. That being said, I miss my girl like crazy during the day. I'm lucky/glad that she has enjoyed daycare. She comes home exhausted from playing, but is still …
A Mother’s Work
I'm sitting here writing this post and listening to Esther "talk" to me. She plays this call and response game with us. It's one of my most favorite things and I will miss this time during the day with her. I'm returning to work next Monday and It's very bittersweet. I've enjoyed these months with …
Esther’s Growing Up. Soon She’ll Be Off to College
It amazes me how fast these little ones grow. We had our girl's 2 month check up today. She's 11/11. She likes double digits apparently. At birth she was 6/6. She also had her first round of shots. I took it like a champ! Oh, Esther's fine too (: She's currently sleeping soundly. If you …

2 months
From Feb 24th I'm a month old today! I'm getting bigger and starting to become more aware of my surroundings. I like to grab at things now, especially my bottle or mommy and daddy's hands as I'm eating. I also like to curl my toes and make "umm yumm umm" sounds when I eat. Basically …
Put Your Mask on First
Every time I fly I always listen carefully to the emergency instructions, especially after 9/11. In the event that the oxygen masks are deployed, they always point out that if you are travelling with small children that you should put your mask on first before assisting them. I always thought that was odd, but now …
Dear Esther
Dear Esther: Thank you for choosing us to be your parents. I'm honored to be one of your guides to take care of and nourish your little spirit. Sometimes my love for you overwhelms me and I can't imagine what I was doing before you came to us. I miss you even when just leaving …
