New Carseat

We finally ended up getting a new carseat, but he should be able to use it for quite a while. He almost completely filled the other one. I think he likes it though, what do you think?


In other news, we finally cleaned the fish tank and replaced the gravel (it was pretty bad, it mostly came out in large chunks). It looks about 1000 times bettter.

Talk Talk Talk

The last week has been pretty good. Ezra keeps sucking on his hand more and more. He just needs to figure out that trying to suck on his whole hand at once, and/or on his palm doesn't really work the greatest.




We put some of his hats on him the other day. Most of them are still too big, but it was cute, so here's one of them.


The last few days he has been really talkative. Its interesting to hear the new noises that he comes up with every day. He's starting making "m" and "b" sounds every now and then, but still likes the old standby "goo".

He likes his bouncer more and more. He get really excited when we put him in it. Its nice because it gives us enough time to eat dinner. He really likes the giraffe and elephant toys on it. See:

Otherwise, its been starting to cool down a bit, which has been really nice.

Smiles and hiccups!

So, there are a few things that Ezra has started to do more. The first one is that he turns around while on his back. Surprisingly he doesn't cry when he gets stuck in his crib. He just continues to talk to the wall.


Which happens to be one of the other things he's doing more of. He loves to talk and have conversations with us. His favorite sound for us to make is "boo", which gets the biggest grins in response.


He seems to keep figuring out how to make new noises every day. It's entertaining, since you never know what he is going to say next. Sometimes it even sounds kind of like words that would have made sense in the conversations that others were having.

He also likes us to help him to sit up and to stand. These are two of his favorite things to do now.



Tonight he was fighting falling asleep. We thought it was pretty funny until he got the hiccups. Then it got really funny because he would fall asleep, hiccup and wake himself back up. So we thought we would get a video. Enjoy!

Ezra's Blessing

Ezra got his baby blessing this weekend. It was a neat experience. Shawn's parents and Lori were able to come down, and it was good to spend some more time with them. Doesn't he look adorable in his outfit that grandma made? He was good for the blessing, I think he slept through most of it, but that's okay.

Good morning mama...

He's starting to sleep longer at night. It was weird this morning waking up around 6 and realizing that we hadn't been up since 11:30 the night before. It will be nice if he keeps that up. We'll see though. He's smiling a lot more and trying to talk. His favorite friend to talk to now is Mr. Ceiling Fan, though the potted plant might be in contention for his favorite.


Susan was at the store tonight, and called. I put her on speaker phone because I was doing stuff with Ezra. He got really confused because he heard mom's voice, but couldn't figure out where she was. He started talking back to her a bit, but then made a sad face when we hung up.
