Esme's babbling/jargon has picked up a lot and she's constantly trying to talk to us which is very cute. We have a large ladybug population hanging out in our kitchen and Esme runs to the back door saying "bu" repeatedly and pointing at the ladybugs. She also says "bu bu bu" for banana while pointing at the counter. Of course, she doesn't want to eat the banana, but rather carry it around the house until it's too mangled to eat. She also says "bu bu" for bubbles (seeing a pattern here?), which is another new favorite activity. She says "up," "boo," and "gigi" (doggy) consistently, but most everything else is still "bu."

Esme's newest version of peekaboo is to hide behind something then say "boo!" to scare us.
peekaboo!
peekaboo!
peekaboo!
It's finally starting to warm up and Esme LOVES playing outside. She collects sticks and rocks and tries to eat leaves, dandelions, dirt, and sand.
SNOW!

Esme loves her movie time
Esme turned 1 on March 17th, and we had a New York City birthday. We went downtown for lunch, went to the big F.A.O. Schwartz store to find Esme her first dolly, then a cab ride to Crumbs for a birthday cupcake.
