Vacation!

Published by John under on 9:42 PM
Hello everyone, fear not, I have returned. You may recall that in the last episode of "Days of Esther's life", I was telling you that I was expecting another exciting week. Well, last week was very exciting! In fact, I have now been to two states besides my home state of Oklahoma (which celebrated its centennial last week - Happy Birthday Oklahoma!). We took a five day vacation in which we drove almost 700 miles. We spent the first day drive to Arkansas, and then we drove on the beautiful Talimena drive! Unfortunately, I have to take Mom & Dad's word for it being beautiful, as I decided to sleep during the entire drive - but they did take pictures!

After we took the drive, we went to Robber's Cave. I didn't see any robbers, but I did get kind of upset from being carried up and down a mountain! I was then lucky enough to go visit Lake Eufaula for the first time. From the way that mom and dad talked, I think I will be going back there a lot! Finally, we went to Tulsa and spent time with family there. Grandpa Gene and Grandma Al both fed me a bottle when I visited them, it was so nice!

I also wanted to let you know that I now own a small piece of the internet. Thats right, I now have my own domain name! From now on, if you want to read my blog, all you need to do is go to http://www.esthersue.net and you will be right back here at my blog!

Well, I better go for now, I have another exciting week coming up - Tuesday I turn 3 months old and Thursday is my very first Thanksgiving! Have a good week!










Doctor Visit and Halloween

Published by John under on 7:26 PM
Hello Everybody!

This has been a big week for me. On Tuesday, I went to see my doctor. He checked me out and called me a "big kid". The nurse measured me and found that I was 12 lbs 8 oz (90 percentile), 24 1/4" long (97 percentile), and my head was 16 1/2" (98 percentile). Mommy and Daddy say that my head is so big to hold my over-sized brain. After the doctor checked me out, he left us and we waiting in the exam room for a few minutes. I was wondering what the deal was because Mommy still had me wearing only a diaper. A few minutes later, the nurse came in, and that is when everything went downhill! First of all, the nurse gave me something to drink that didn't taste anything like milk. I was trying to recover from drinking that stuff when she poked three LONG sharp things into my leg! It was then that I found out what shots were, and that I don't like them! I only cried for a few seconds, but those shots made me feel a little icky for the rest of the day. It is good to have that doctor's visit behind me; I don't have to go again for two more months - whew!

On Wednesday, I got a surprise visit - Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lyn came to see me! I got to spend all afternoon and evening with them. Wednesday night, Mommy and Daddy dressed me up for my first Halloween as a penguin. I really liked my costume - it was both cute and very warm! We went to Edmond to see Grandpa Fred and Grandma Judy, then we went to go see some of my friends at church.

It has been a very memorable week for me; actually, I hear that next week may be very special, too! Stay tuned...
