Num - yummies


So Ezra has been starting to eat solids. Some times have been a little more messy than others, but doing well. He REALLY likes squash of all things, even more than pears.

We had some good stuff the other night too, yummm .... ribs......

Things have been good here. Its cooled down finally, which has been nice. We've been able to go on walks and stuff together. We didn't have any more clean pajamas for Ezra, so while we went to the store we dressed him in his sweats that grandma bought him. They were a tiny bit big, but not much. He's been growing a lot. He's like 17 pounds now.

He's been even more interested in everything around him. Susan made him a new tag blanket to play with, and he seems to really like it.


He also seems to like having stuff over his face. He always pulls everything that he gets over his face, and then laughs and kicks.


He's been laughing a lot more recently too, especially when he's tired. Its been really fun.

New blanket, pouting, and push-ups

So, here we are again. Just hadn't really made time to post in the last little while.

The last couple of weeks have been interesting to say the least. Ezra has been teething a bit so he gets kind of grumpy.

In other news, he sleeps through the night now. :D

He got a new blanket from his great-grandma, and he seems to like it.
We've started feeding him solids a bit. He didn't really care for the rice & oat baby cereals. He does however seem to like green beans ok, and loves mashed potatoes and pears. He still hasn't quite figured out exactly how to eat from a spoon very well. He has tried slurping things, and that works okay until he breathes out and the food goes all over the place.

He's had an interesting little pouty face that he gives us when we're eating dinner. We have a tendency to put him in his bouncer near the table, and he pouts out his bottom lip. Haven't been able to get a picture of it yet though.


He seemed to be a bit more grouchy at night than usual, and we realized that he must have learned something physically new (he has a tendency to get kind of tired and grumpy when he learns something new, like pushing up onto his elbows or rolling over.) Apparently, he has started pushing up onto his hands. Susan watched him basically doing push-ups today.


UP!
DOWN! 1! ...
