Little red ridding hood waves hi as she crawls by.
















Look at these smiles!

Little cutie. These pictures are from yesterday.











She's so serious on her changing table!










This is from last weekend when we went down to D.C. with Erika

Esther's Bug! I don't know what kind of bug it was and the bug is out of fcous because I took the picutre but she was very interested in it.










She loves to point at things and touch things with that little finger

These are from a few weeks ago when we went down to the Potomac.

This is Esther last weekend climbing up stairs AT NIKKI'S SHOWER!!
She is very mobile lately.













Here she is getting a ride on Daddy's skateboard...not so safe!












So we got a good deal on a little toy for her to ride on and push around as she learns to walk. She likes it and it's much safer than the skateboard! She scooted a few feet today so that she could get a bite out of mommy's apple. Whatever works!

Tuomas got to take a turn on Esther new toy.
Esther was excited to let him play with it too.












She looks like she wants to hop on the back for a ride!

Mommy and Esther and Krisitin and Brady at "Harvest night" at the church









Mommy and Esther.
Since I do all the work, I can choose which pictures get put on, and obviously there are only good pictures of me:)

Esther and daddy were in the costume contest( we didn't win...it was rigged we think)












Daddy's costume was his funny face here!! And Esther looks kinds funny too. I guess thats why I like this picture

In case you don't know,Esther LOVES dogs. She tried to eat this one, but it didn't happen! we took the fur out of her mouth, don't worry!












This is Esther ridding on Daddy's shoulders.

Esther peeks out over her pack-n-play!











She figured out how to pull herself up...what's next?





I'll just stand here and look cute, I guess!

Esther is thinking" how the heck do i get back up this thing!"












Brady says, "come on Esther, we can try together"










Then all three of them tried. Needless to say, it didn't work,even with Kristin's help( but Esther looks like she's in the lead)

Tuomas played the part of superman as a baby.he did such a wonderful job. Look at his "clark Kent "hair!












WE lined all the babies up for a picture. Sofina as an octopus, Tuomas as superman, Esther as Eeyore, and Brady as Tigger!

Family hike!
