Esther is getting quite plump. Here she is giving a nice smile.

SNOW!!! Actually, this was during the hail storm that preceded the snow storm. Somehow I deleted the good pictures, so this will have to do. Our blizzard consisted of about 1.5 inches of hail and 3/4 of an inch of snow. It stuck around until about noon the next day. We had more snow the following night and morning, but this soon melted as well.

Esther likes to be swaddled when she sleeps. Here we see the 'double swaddle' involving one stretchy blanket underneath (not visible) to hold the arms firmly in place, along with the Swaddle Me from Kiddopotamus to prevent unraveling.

Martial Arts

In this old picture you can see that even at two and a half weeks old, Esther is already practicing some of her moves.

First, Esther looks at her father...

...then she looks at her grandmother behind the camera.

There is no doubt the look on her face says "I fear this man!"

When in the bouncy chair, it is best to be surrounded by spit rags. You never know what might come up.

On Saturday night, Esther enjoyed some time with our friends Tyson and Amy.

Here is Esther at 10.5 weeks. Her weight, length and head size was at one point in the 30th-50th percentile. By her 2 month appointment, she had zoomed up into the upper 70s. What a pig. This picture should allow you to judge for yourself.
