The Baby in the Mirror

Estelle loves seeing herself in the mirror. Recently we set her up in front of a mirror on the floor in the basement. She entertained herself there for the next 20 minutes.

On the Move

Estelle and I get to take a walk in the morning 3-4 days a week and so far it has been a wonderful way for me to exercise a little and be outside with Estelle before it gets too hot out. I don't usually strap her in because she usually sits and plays the whole time. Today was different. She decided to turn around and try to stand up during our walk. Every time I stopped to put her back she immediately turned back around. Looks like my baby girl is growing up and I'm going to have to start strapping her in for our walks.

Feeding Herself

Estelle has been pretty unsuccessful at feeding herself, but that all changed today. Previously she would pick up the food, put her hand in her mouth and then bring her hand back out with the food still in it. Today she figured out how to leave the food in her mouth. It's so fun to see her learn new things.
 

Day Off

I have every Tuesday off and its been a fun day for me and Estelle to spend together. Today we had a swim lesson in the morning followed by taking my car in for a schedules tune-up. At first I was worried because it took much longer then planned, but my sweet girl did wonderfully and we managed to get some good pics too!

Nine Month Check-up

Estelle went for her Nine Month Check-up earlier this week. We have a happy, health baby girl. She is now 18lb 3oz, which is 10# heavier than when she was born and she is 28.5" tall. Here are some of her nine month photos. She is definitely more of a moving target these days.

Peach Picking

Keith and I took Estelle to Herman's Farm up in St Charles County last weekend to go peach picking. Tom, the owner, is one of the many wonderful people has met over the past few years and it was fun to see what our future 'farm' may be able to produce. Here are some of the pictures we took.
