Essie is 11months old today

You are our cutie pie!

Daddy's little girl

Ray of Sunshine!

Oh how we all love you so very much. You are growing up so fast. You took your first few steps just a few days ago. You babble up a storm. You wave hi and bye. I belive you are signing dog. You may also be training us to know when you are all done with a wave of the hand too. Keep trying and I think we will learn your language. You have been staying with Baby Luke (As well as his dear Mommy Katie) the past week (whom we are forever grateful for). You have been sleeping up a storm too! Such a happy baby. So many people comment on just how good and calm you are. God has blessed us all with your personality. You get what you want though. Adeline is learning she can't just take a toy away from you. You go after it now where before she could distract you with another one. I think she is in for it now :) You both play so well together, mutual love for sure. You have mastered sleeping through the night until 6 or 6:30 and we are so excited about that. You have started insisting on holding Calhoun's leash when we walk him. You love wagon rides around the neighborhood. You LOVE water. We have an inflatable crab that you go crazy crawing around in the water. Just a couple weekends ago we went to Salt Springs Resort of sorts that had a lake and it was the perfect place for you to roam in the sandy bottom water with a HUGE smile. You sleep as long as there is a pack n play near! You are eating a lot of finger foods and tonight drank a considerable amount of milk from a sippy cup. We just had only been giving you water so far. (we had extra tonight) We thank God for you and the 11 months we have had togther. Praying for lots more!
