Splash Time

Bath time was losing its fun for Estella, so mama had a good idea. She thought we should make it a more enjoyable and a safer time us both being there at the bathtub side to play with and encourage Estella.
Now bath time is splash time.
She has a blast moving around, pulling up, playing with toys, splashing, laughing, seeing her reflection in the fixtures, etc. I push her through the water and she giggles and sometimes after some splashes she dips her head down to taste the water, quickly realizing she dislikes bath water.
And when she is done she is happy and energized. This makes for a fun time of babbling and talking while getting dressed. The pictures above show her at that time.
Soon she is sleepy after a big day of being a baby. She curls up on her side while lying on my chest and we rock and rock until she is asleep.
She had a fun time with her aunt Sarah at the park.

In other news, Estella is blowing kisses, excitedly taking care of the neighbors chickens, waking up more at night and being about as much fun and exuding as much wonder and joy as I could imagine ever witnessing. She does practically crawl but only over obstacles. Scooting is still her favored means of transportation.
Her hair is mostly flat, but when she is working hard and a bit sweaty little curls form above her ears and on top of her head.
