9 Months Old!

Filed under Esther Alicia

Yet another monthly update. It seems like I just did one. As you have read before, Esther has no fear. I think she will be walking soon. Esther loves to stand, and pulls herself up on anything. We call her our little tank because she will crawl up, over, or through whatever is in her way. She is a tough little girl, and rarely cries when she falls. She makes funny faces and has a cute “fake” laugh. She still keeps us laughing. We thank the Lord for our beautiful girls. I pray for wisdom often as we raise them.

The House of Bounce and The Park

Filed under Esther Alicia, Naomi Lynn

We have had a busy last couple of days. On Wednesday we went with some friends to the House of Bounce and let the kids bounce for almost 2 hours. They had a great time. Naomi has been asking to bounce since the 4th of July when she got to bounce at the picnic.

Naomi got stuck in the maze and I had to go rescue her.I put Esther in one of the baby bounce houses, but she didn\'t really like it.p1000732p1000745Esther liked standing on the outside.Victoria was a great friend and helped Naomi be brave.After the bouncing was done, we went to lunch.

On Thursday we went to a park down town Denver. It is a beautiful park. They have a great play place for the kids. Esther loved the swings. She was giggling at me when I was pushing her. Naomi was a little tired, but had fun with her friends.

My Helper Girl

Filed under Naomi Lynn

Naomi is such a little mom. She likes to help me put laundry in the washing machine. She does such a good job and really is a help to me.

The other day Naomi was in her room for some quiet time. She was very quiet and I was wondering what was going on. When I walked in her room, I found her in her baby doll’s pack-n-play singing to her stuffed animals. Why? Who knows? It sure was cute.

Being a little mom?

No Fear!

Filed under Esther Alicia

Our little Esther girl has no fear. She will climb up, over, or through anything she is able. The first night we got home from vacation, she pulled herself up in her crib, and we had to move the mattress down so she wouldn’t fall out. Now she is climbing the stairs, and she is a fast one. Here are some of the pictures we were able to catch before she fell.

Today at lunch Esther must have been tired. She kept rubbing her eyes, just at the same time I was putting a spoonful of food in her mouth. The first time the spoon went flying and food was all over the wall and floor. The second time she got the food all over her face. I couldn’t stop laughing.

We Had a Wonderful Vacation!

Filed under General

Naomi had her own table and chair. These were my dad\'s when he was a little boy.My mom got this for Esther. She loved it!p1000654

My dad got the tractor out and we went down the street to a farm that raises cows. At first Naomi was afraid of the tractor, but then she was sitting on Grandpy’s lap “driving”.

My parents have a pool out behind the barn. We all enjoyed it very much. One night it was really hot, so I put the girls in the pool with just their swimmer diapers on. It was so refreshing.

The grandparents had a great time with the girls. Grandpy liked feeding Naomi sweets, and Nana taught Naomi how to drink from a cup. Uncle Justin and Naomi were buddies and liked to make each other laugh. Esther made us laugh. She has such a cute personality and you just can’t help but laugh at her.
