Esme’s First Month

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

I’ve been recording some video clips of Esme during her first month. She’s starting to be a little more active, but at the time these were recorded, she was most active when waking up, so you’ll see her stretching and a bout of face vs. hand.

Thank you, Grandparents!

Esme (and her parents) were very lucky to have three weeks of help from Grandma Sinclair, Grandma Schouten and Grandpa Schouten.  Esme got lots of cuddle time with her grandparents while her mom got a few naps!

Starting today, Esme and her mom are on our own during the day while daddy is away at work - wish us luck!

One month old

Esme reached an important milestone this weekend: she is now one month old.  She seems to have recently discovered her tongue, which she pushes out of her mouth against her bottom lip, and is facinated by the lights on the ceiling in the dining room.  She also enjoys laying on her new changing table, where she likes to kick her legs around and make little gurgle and cooing noises.  So cute!  And, she has already outgrown a few baby outfits.  She sleeps like an angel - an angel that wakes up screaming a few times in the night - but we love her!

Kicking, not screaming
