Million Dollar Smiles

It's hard to believe, but Esther will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!




We LOVED having "Gig" here with us (Grandma Larkin)! Gig has since returned home and Esther's grandma from the Dyck side, known as "Mimi" is coming tomorrow. What a blessed family we are to have such support from our parents, even though we live halfway across the world from them!


I know people say that at this age if a baby is smiling it's probably just gas, but I have to say that Esther sure seems to smile in response to voices, sounds, and touch. She even responded to a story I told her the other day. Let me explain ...


I, Jen, was looking at her little fingers and fingernails the other day as I held her, determining whether or not it was time for another trim. We don't want her scratching her face, but I have to admit I don't enjoy clipping her tiny little nails. At any rate, I noticed that she had one fingernail on one hand that was kind of jagged - then I took note of which fingernail it was so that I could trim it while she slept. It happened to be the ring finger of her left hand, and so I told her that someday a boy was going to want to put a ring on that finger and he had better be a good, Godly young man that would take good care of her. She SMILED. No joke, right on cue. I felt, heard, saw no signs of gas. I think she understood. ;)

Week Two


Esther has enjoyed spending time with Gig (Grandma Larkin) this past week! She is quick to snuggle and smile in Gig's arms!



She is also pleased that Mommy and Daddy are getting better at giving baths ... I think!


What a happy baby we have! Her Korean name suits her so well - she is truly a gift from God!
