Friends

 Estelle met her friend Charlotte Orehovec last week, when her and her mom Kelly came for a visit.  Charlotte and Estelle are only 9 months apart and in a couple of years I bet they'll be sharing secrets, telling each other stories, laughing at jokes and sharing many adventures together. Just like their moms. 

One month already?

Right now I feel that time is my enemy.  I have a few short months before I go back to work and although 8 weeks sounds like a long time for a vacation, trust me it is not when you have a baby.   Estelle is already one month old as of yesterday.  What?  Yes, you read that right.   One month.  She is growing like a weed on my super baby food and she has changed so much already.   She is lifting her head and smiling back at us.  I'm savoring every waking moment right now, because soon I'll be daydreaming about her while I'm at work.  Time is not on my side.

Quality time with Papa Fred

Sweet siblings

Unfortunately the date shows up on these photos.  Otherwise they are just about perfect.  Stupid sexy camera.   I'm still learning how to use the thing obviously.

Resemblance?

Estelle Loa

On June 28th at 7:20am we welcomed Estelle Loa into this world.   We are in love with her and can't wait to share her with all of our friends and family.   She is an incredible eater and sleeper, no complaints filed at this point.  Oliver is stepping into his role of big brother relatively smoothly.   He has already helped give her a bath and wants to hold her all the time.   Our family is now a "table for 4" as they say in the restaurant biz.
