Esther

These first two pictures of Esther were taken back in Feb. right after Micah got his new road bike. This is how we found out that we had to put the bike away where Esther could not get to it at all! The dark stuff on her face is grease from Micah's bike. I came in to the living room after having left for a minute or two and found her as happy as can be, smiling, with grease all over her face and hands. :)

The next three pictures are of a fun little adventure we had when we found a little frog hanging out underneath our lazy boy chair in the living room. I think he came in from the balcony door and we didn't even see him jump in. Although it was a cute little frog I did not want to catch it with my hands so we got the frog to jump into this lunch pale and then we took him outside and set him free. Esther really had fun!

Here Micah and Esther are having some father daughter bonding time. I think Esther was teething in this picture because you can see she has a runny nose and drool coming out of her mouth! Hah!


Now you might think this picture is a little silly but I just love the scowling look on her face and if you look at the bottom of the picture you can see her big ol' budda belly. After she eats a meal it gets even bigger. I am sure she picked up this scowling look from me. Oops!


In this picture Esther is holding her beloved "baby beluga." We bought that stuffed animal for her when she was 6 months old at SeaWorld in Florida. We had no idea how lucky baby beluga would be. She loves him so much and sleeps with him at every nap time and all night long. Esther calls him affecionately "baba buga."

This picture was taken just a few days ago. On the 11 of September Esther will be 18 months old. We (as every parent does) love her soooo much! She delights us every day with her cute mannerisms and personality. She is a very sweet girl who often comes up behind us and gives us hugs from behind. It melts our hearts. :)
