Do you want to hear the best sound ever? Press play!

New York State Of Mind

Happy 3rd Anniversary to my mister (Nov. 29th). He bought this sleeper on our honeymoon in New York. Proving that we did, indeed, put SOME forethought into having this child.

The Mister and Esmé staying warm while the cousins look at Christmas lights outside.

And the winner is...

And this, dear Heather, is why I started my family a decade after you. If you ask me, this technology was worth it. 'Cause seriously all you do is swipe the bebe's forehead to get an accurate temperature. My pediatrician uses this in his office so I had to get me one. Seriously the best baby gadget ever. EVER.

A Message For The North Pole

Dear Santa,

I may deserve coal this Christmas. I have been VERY naughty in keeping my parents up late and constantly pooping in my pants. However, if I promise to do better, maybe you can bring me a Kitty-Carry-All doll or cool new outfit.

Hee Haw & Merry Christmas,

Esmé

Gobble Gobble Everybody!

P.S. Esmé is 2 months old today - where does the time go?

What I Have Been Up To ( a photo essay by Esmé)

I learned to smile, but I won't do it for Daddy's camera yet. Here's a teaser...

I go to work with Daddy sometimes, but it's boring so I usually fall asleep.

The 'rents and I went to Mike & Michelle's wedding. Yeah for new Auntie's!

What do you mean I'm too little for bite-sized Snickers?

Let's face it - it's hard being a baby so at the end of the day I treat myself to the latest spa treatment - a sink tubbie!

Shhhhhh! I'm Sleeping.

We often try and catch up on TV shows while the little one sleeps. But how can we turn up the volume on 'Castle' when the kid is clearly telling us to stay quiet?

Dreams for Esmé

Of course we hope that this girl is happy, kind, smart, creative - yada, yada. But mostly we just want her to be a Beatles fan. The mister feels it's never too early to start indoctrinating.

Tiny head or big headband? Maybe both.

Our day yesterday looked like this 60% of the time -

Like this 35% of the time - (which she normally screamed at)

and this for 5%.

The mister thinks this is a good muzzle for her toddler years. We'll see about that.

E & E

When I checked on Esmé tonight this is what I found...

Cousin Eli shared his bunnies (and dragon) with the girl. And if you know anything about this boy and his bunnies you know how special of an occasion this was. I think these guys are going to be good friends.

I heart my family...

This girl has her tongue out constantly, even in her Sunday best.

Introducing....

She has a place to sleep!

This is what happens when I leave town for 24 hours...Thanks Mister! It was a fun surprise to have "the girl's" crib set up in the nursery when I got home.

And mucho thanks to Grammy & Skipper for the beautiful beds! Now let's hope she knows how to use them.

First and Last

This is absolutely the first and last time I post any pictures of my daughter's hoo-ha. The Mister does not approve.
