A Little Girl now
Estela is finally learning to appreciate the finer things in life:
1. Dinosaur picture books, especially ones that show lots of balls, dogs, and socks.
2. Feeding herself arroz y frijoles at our favorite taco joint.
3. Hiking with mommy in the Rocky Mountains

The view of the plains
from previous outcropping of rocks. Look closely. Firestone is a blip in the distance.
4. Wearing Grandpa's sweaty old baseball caps.
5. Gigantic green exercise balls.
6. Screaming at the fish in Walmart
7. Being taught to play the piano by Auntie Hannah.
That's all for now. We miss you!

Estela Walks the Earth...
Hello!
So much has happened in the last two months since I posted that there are many photos I want to share...so bear with us.
In April, Estela had her first birthday party. She was unsure of what to do with the cake, but enjoyed ripping the paper to open her gifts. After a while, she got into the spirit of eating whipped cream, but it took a couple of demo runs by mom to convince her it was good.
She also received two of her favorite things in the world: puppies! A dog puppet and a stuffed dog. She has learned to sign "dog" by patting her thigh whenever she sees one.
Estela began walking about two days after her birthday, and has decided it is the way to go.
This is one of my favorite smiles of Estela's, and usually the one she gives us early in the morning.
Even if it is 60 degrees, Estela loves to play with water!
We visited Texas in April, and Estela had such a fun time with her grandparents.

Estela also loves to play the piano and "dance" (mostly just shaking her leg, although yesterday she did sit on the floor and wiggle her arms and legs spasmodically in an obvious attempt at the Chicken)

Estela continues to grow and learn every day. She is really a joy to be with (but a very active baby, nonetheless.) She is learning how to use sign language, but she doesn't yet speak (any) words. Her laughter, her curiosity, and her love of puppies are some of the things that make her so fun.
Eddie and I are well, and enjoying the spring (even though the tornadoes yesterday were somewhat scary. They didn't hit us, though). We hope to hear from you soon!
