Baby Sat

Little Estella can sit up on her own these days. She still depends on momma for nurishment, dada for burps and the cats for entertainment.

While taking a bath just the other day she finally managed to bring her feet to her mouth.
She gets a real kick out of balloons for sure.

While asleep and if she stirs, she always relies on her little thumb to console her and fall back to sleep.

One of her favorite little games is to look at herself in the mirror and in some cases kiss her reflection.

Hi Jonathan --- What more can we say after reading all the comments and seeing the great pictures of Darling Estella. Her pictures are wonderful. And we love reading all your thoughts about her. As your mom says you have a wonderful way of expressing yourself. Infact it is amazing!!!! I hope you are saving all this for Estella to read when she is much older. She is a much loved darling baby by all her big family. And as your Mom said and I have always said you have always been the best big brother to your sisters and brother!!!! You are also a wonderful son and Grandson and now an amazing Daddy!!!!! We love you all three very much!!!! We are so happy that you are coming here for Thanksgiving. Much Love,

Thanks for all the kind comments. I am having a ton of fun with Estella and being a dad. She has such a gentle, curious, cheerful disposition that I can't help but have fun watching, playing with or consoling her. Tonight she had a hard time going to sleep later, so we picked her up out of bed and she was a big grin and smiley giggles. I think she is just surrounded by family and friends who are so gentle and loving to her that she feels safe and open to giggles, smiles and an interested stare.

Jonathan,
We LOVE everything you do for us, allowing us to be such a part of ESTELLA'S life. The pictures are so great but the words you add on your site are more incredible to me. I love reading what you are thinking. You have an incredible gift with words, and I am glad you are using your ability in such a great way. Estella is beautiful and we continue to thank God for her every day!!! I love you MOM

Jonathan,
I'm in awe of all the great pictures, stories, and journaling of Baby Estella's first five and a half months. In fact, I check in here several times a day to check out the next day in Estella's life. She is growing so fast, so your site helps me keep up with her. Hard to believe she is sitting up by herself already. And what a very sweet doll she is!
As far as your site and design, I don't know how it could be improved. I think you've outdone yourself here!
Hugs to you, Robyn and Estella,
Love,
Mom Bentley
