Our Daily Life

REVERSE ORDER with more to come!

For all of you who have EVER gotten ready with me or waited on me while I got ready...
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Even Estella has been inducted into this club
(pictured above in her usual "waiting on Mommy to finish her makeup" pose).



This was just WAY to cute to pass up... In the mornings (even on the weekends), Bert gets up and changes Estella and then gives her to me in bed. She eats, and then we all sleep for a little bit longer. These two weren't ready to get up yet!

Below...
This is her "new" thing - it's not as new any more as she started it about a month ago, but I'm behind on the blog.

We give her the rattle and she waves it around and then chews on the end... awwwww...




This is after bath time!


Cooking in the kitchen with Mommy and Daddy...


and Charlie!


She's in her swing (thank you Lorin and Caroline!) waiting on dinner to be finished so we will hold her. She LOVES this swing!!!

This is what happens when we try to do tummy time on our tummy...


So, Mommy needed Daddy to take Estella with him to the store so that she could get some things done - say, a month's worth of folding clothes... We bundled her up for the cold weather...

And Daddy-o got his picture taken with her on their first outing WITHOUT Mommy.


This is me and her right before handing her off for the outing - I think Bert was more nervous than I was.

Bert calming her down so that we can go get a bite to eat OUTSIDE of the house -
this can be an ordeal because the evening is her big play time...


Getting ready to pick up Daddy from work isn't always fun (haha).
You can't see it, but the onesie says "Daddy's Hunny Bunny."

Work and Play...


Bath Time!


Ok, Estella really, really hasn't liked getting a bath up until now - so it was an awesome surprise when she was so good about it on Friday!!! Yay!!! Afterwards, we took some pictures of her in the towel that her Aunt Laura gave her... so cute! She was happy and cooing the whole time.


Tummy Time!

So, it's supposed to be tummy time, but it's way more fun to see her getting excited about the toys. This is Estella and Bert last week - it's so fun to see him playing with her!!!


Chillin' with Mommy...


and Daddy...
