Joshua - Week 1

Here are some more photos from Joshua's first week with us. He is a big eater and sleeper. Two days after leaving the hospital he had already put on two ounces of weight. We think he looks a lot like Jessica as a baby. I'll have to try to find similar pictures to post.

Jessica has surprised us and shown a lot of interest in her little brother. Today she even asked to hold him. She is getting better at waiting for "my turn", so she understands that she has to share mommy & daddy.

Joshua and I have enjoyed a couple days to ourselves. They have been beautiful days so we even ventured outside for walks with the dogs.

The Greatest Gift


I will be a mother again in the next day and a half. The greatest gift has been to be the mother of Jessica and her soon-to-be born baby brother. We are very excited and patiently awaiting the arrival of our baby boy!

Bears Fan

Jessi found her old jacket. It barely fit but she squeezed into it for playtime outside. Had to snap a photo of Grandpa's little Bears fan.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jessica!

It is hard to believe that our little lady is two and that pretty soon she will be a big sister.

We celebrated an early birthday when Grandma Lipa and Grandpa Sus were in town earlier in February. They made sopa, which Jessi devoured and then we had a oreo ice cream cake which she loved. She loves the new books that they gave her.



I sent cupcakes to daycare on Jessi's actual brithday. That evening Joey made her favorite dinner (chicken & rice) and we sang happy birthday to her. I think she must have had a long day because after we removed the candles, she tossed the cupcake and then let the dogs lick the frosting off her hands. No cupcake for Jessi :(



My cousin, Amy, was nice enough to have a joint party for her son, Cameron, and Jessica. Their birthdays are four days apart. Baby Esquivel stayed put and allowed Joey & I to attend the party. It was such a nice day that almost everyone was outside. Jess and Cam both loved the Elmo cupcake cake and being the center of attention when everyone sang Happy Birthday. Jessi loved playing with her friends and enjoyed all of her gifts. Her favorite gift was a doll from Aunt Lynn and Uncle John.
