Swimming!

Today we took Esme swimming for the first time. Grandpa and Grandma were staying at the Comfort Inn in Plymouth. The swimming pool was a little cold, but the hot tub was just right. No one had been in there and the bubbles weren't going so the water was warm, but not hot. Just like bath water. Perfect for Esme! Turns out she really likes it!

It looks like we'll have to look into swimming lessons for her!

First Christmas

Esme's first Christmas Eve was spent at Grandma Barb's and Grandpa Dan's. Jodie, Steve and the girls and Uncle Eric were there and Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Rex came too! Here are the three granddaughters.

Esme got the most presents of anyone which wasn't a surprise. The funniest part, which I'm sure any parent could have told me, is all we really needed to get her was some paper and a box. :) That was her favorite part!

Merry Christmas Esme!!!

Christmas Party and Santa!

Esme went to her first Christmas party this weekend. She had a great time hanging out with Joyce. Who knew xylophones taste so good!


Oh and Santa too!


Santa has a nice beard to pull!


I think she asked Santa for her own xylophone!

Cousins!

On Sunday Esme, Annika and Laurel helped Grandpa set up the train under the tree. They had a great time!


I love this picture of Laurel!

Teeth!

Esme's got 2 teeth now. When she smiles, you can often see them. Even in pictures every once in awhile!

In these pictures, you can only see the first tooth. We'll try to get some with both soon!

Early Christmas for Esme

Esme loves the Johnny-Jump-Up at Dan and Barb's house. She can jump in it for a long time!


We don't have anywhere to hang one at our house, so we got a Jumparoo for her for a Christmas present. We couldn't wait to give it to her and since she doesn't know any better - we didn't!

She obviously enjoys it!

I wonder if they make one in adult size? It's got to burn some serious calories!

Making Grandpa proud!

Esme's got a new style going. Maybe she could get a job as a model for DSG???


She says "Just making sure you're getting my good side." :)
