Esther in 2010

I wanted to give an update about Esther. Esther makes us laugh everyday. She is always happy and giggling except when she tries to play on the computer and isn't allowed. Esther loves all electronics, the remote, our cell phones, the camera, the computer, and the vacuum. Of course these are all things that she is not allowed to play with. She is very vocal but not a lot of what she says can be understood. She does say a few words: mommy, daddy, nana(banana),grandma, grandpa, baby(that is what she calls Henry), bye bye, and her favorite word, NO. Everything is no even when she really means yes. The funniest thing she does is when she is doing something she knows she in not supposed to, like getting into the plants, she will be standing by the plant and then will see me coming and will turn to the plant and shake her finger at it and say NO, NO.(Can you tell she has been told no before)

Esther loves to share with Henry but the things she shares are not always the best. Usually it's some paper that she pulled off the table which Henry puts in his mouth and then begins to gag on. Esther and Henry love to play with each other and they makes each other laugh. Esther is very social. She waves at everyone in the grocery store and babbles away as if she is having a very intense conversation. She will be starting Nursery at church in Feb and we can't wait. Esther loves other kids. She is going to have so much fun we are very excited for her.

Esther spends most of the day reading books. She is very into books right now. She will pull a book off the book case bring it to us and sometimes will sit long enough to hear the whole story. Sometimes she will read to herself. She sits on the floor flips through the pages and babbles babbles babbles.

As you can see from the pictures her hair is long enough to pull in pig tails but she hates anything in her hair. I am lucky if it lasts for 10 min. Esther loves to brush her teeth, comb her hair and help empty the dishwasher. She licks the plates as she hands them to me.

I hope that this paints a better picture of Esther these days. I have loved every minute with her and can't wait to see what she will bring in this next year.

PS: We have not finish the bathroom yet so yes they are still bathing in the sink.
