laughing

hooray!!!! we have turned a corner with esther and in the past 2 weeks or so, she has become a much more pleasant baby. we don't know it was colic or not but it was certainly not easy from about week 7 to week 14. we now understand just how difficult it has been for other friends of ours who have had fussy babies. there was a lot of crying in the house (not just from the baby!) and now the noises are much more fun. we are also now working with a sleep consultant because we saw a huge correlation in esther's mood and whether or not she had gotten enough sleep during the day. this person has honestly changed our lives and esther is sleeping really well at night with only 1 wake up at around 3:30 a.m. usually and her naps during the day (3 of them usually) are getting there. hooray for happy babies!

here is a little video of esther laughing at her daddy today.
