Esther 9 months

Esther and I have gotten to play a lot since we've been alone this past week and a half. Here are some new things about her.


  •  She may have started off slow, waiting until almost 6 months to roll over, but now she's a crawling wiggling moving machine who loves going up the stairs. 
  • She likes to crawl, adventure and explore but right before going out of sight, she always stops, turns around and checks in with me, something Van never did.  
  • She has 4 teeth, two on top, two on the bottom.
  •  She's a happy baby who squeals and smiles.
  •  She waves her arms when she's excited. Arms straight out like sticks, waved up and down, usually while making a noise. 
  •  She is a great eater, any meal you can grind up, spaghetti, fried rice, soup, chicken burrito, she will happily eat.
  •  She really studies things, turning new things over in her hands carefully. 
  •  She really looks at people, she's stares intently at me, I always wonder what she's thinking.
  •  When I talk to her, she turns and looks at me and smiles and laughs with happiness.
  •  She loves it when you sing songs to her.
  •  Her cheeks are so smoochable.
  •  Despite mom and my best warnings, she'll still engage grandpa in a game of smash-heads.
  •  She sleeps great at night. She always sleeps in and takes great naps.
  •  She'll 'talk' to me while nursing by blowing puffs of air out her nose. She'll do it once and wait to see what I do. Then if I make a noise back she'll do it again. 





The start of her 'walk crawl'. Sometimes her knees are on the ground but sometimes she likes her flat foot on the ground. Sometimes he has one leg do each motion for a half walk half crawl.











All 4 teeth!
