Happy Father's Day

Unfortunately Allen had to work today but Esme made sure to save some play time in the afternoon for him. We actually went to the children's museum when he got home and then took him out to dinner.  Esme usually does pretty good at restaurants if we have the right distractions, the best one being a snack cup full of grapes that we save until our food comes.  Tonight she was even nice enough to spill an entire glass of water in my lap instead of daddy's. Ha ha!

The other exciting thing about today is that both her top and bottom right sided molars came through!  Woohoo!  To tell you the truth, she hasn't been fussy, no runny nose, and her sleep is normal so no complaints from us.  It'll be interesting to see what changes this'll bring as far as her eating goes.  She's pretty adventurous and tries everything but whether or not she swallows it is another story.  This weekend Esme tried quinoa multiple times and really likes it.

Last week she came home from daycare and said the name of one of her friends there - Bella.  It sounds more like Beh-wah but she loves to say it over and over.  She says dada all the time, and now Bella too, but will only say mama if we say it first.  Sheesh!

               
                 First she attempted the drumstick with a fork.                                          Then she gave up and used her hands and teeth.
               
         This is what happens when she feeds herself yogurt.                                                 Playing in the tunnel with daddy.
