Our Busy Bee

We live in downtown Portland, where there are a lot of young yuppies and hip retirees. So, come Halloween, we weren't quite sure what we'd be doing with ESK. Luckily, a neighborhood association organized a Howl-o-ween party in one of the buildings and we got to do some trick-or-treating. The older folks in the building just went ga-ga over all the little tots in costume. It was much fun.

ESK had her 9-month check up today and I'm happy to say she is healthy girl. She charmed the nurse with her smiles and curious stares and hardly cried with her flu shot. I thought she had gotten so chubby and so tall over the past few months. But it turns out she's only 25th percentile in both height and weight. I guess I always imagined having a big fat baby, but I wouldn't trade in ESK for the world!

Anyway, I'm sure it's hard for her to keep her weight up these days with all the moving around she does. Here's a video of her using her Bumbo as a walker:
