Party, Party, Party

It was a weekend full of parties and Esme held up just fine.  Last Saturday we had a farewell party for one of my co-workers and Esme enjoyed all the new faces.  She ended up missing both her afternoon naps but amazingly she stayed up the whole time with no problems.  Of course as soon as we got in the car she was out like a light!

On Sunday we had a little birthday party at our house for Esme with some close friends.  I timed the party just right so she could get her afternoon naps in and she had a blast.  I made her carrot cake and this time she enjoyed it more than the cupcake on her birthday.  She still didn't like the sticky frosting on her fingers but she figured out that if she turned the cake over she could get rid of the frosting and have all the cake available that way.  Then towards the end she smeared the remaining frosting and cake on the tray and then ran her hands through her hair.  I have no idea why she likes to do that!

She wouldn't let go of her lovey since she just got up

There's finally someone younger than Esme!
