Presents Completed!

Today we finally finished opening all of Esme's presents and she's been so excited to have new things to play with - her shopping cart, her pretend fruit cutting set, Mrs Potato Head, lots of puzzles, Duplo Lego bricks, Play-Doh, and so much more.  However when all was said and done she was pretty excited just to play in the pile of wrapping paper and throw it up in the air.

 

Then when she finished with all her playing she decided to take a little break and rest on the stairs and in her new recliner chair.

 

Esme's daycare has been closed all week so mommy's been home with her the whole time.  We've had lots of fun playing with all the toys, singing, dancing, going for walks, having playdates, etc.  Esme is catching on to words at an amazing speed right now.  She still loves to say "What doing?" to figure out what's going on.  Now she's even saying catch-phrases such as "Oh my goodness!" and "Oh man!"  She misses all her friends at school and is constantly talking about them. 

 

We put all the Christmas cards we received this year on the fridge and one of Esme's favorite daily activities is to look at each card and name all the kids and dogs in the cards.  If she doesn't know who it is then she asks "Who's that?"
