Merry Christmas

We had a really nice week for Christmas. It had a lot of firsts for Ezra. He got his first look at snow, and wasn't sure what to make of it. Cold and wet, but who knows. He also reached out for Susan when someone else was handing him to her, which made her happy.

He met Shawn's cousin Daniel, who is 2 days younger than him. They seemed to notice each other and interact a bit, though they certainly have different temperments.

We tried some hats on him, and he got this one that Shawn used to wear when he was a baby. Ezra really liked the strings.

We had a lot of fun seeing family from both sides. Ezra had a lot of fun playing with his three aunts. We found this brightly colored butterfly that Lori had, and Ezra loved it.

Ezra got more presents than both of us combined, but that was no surprise. He really liked the stuffed puppy that Grandma K, (his great-great grandma) got for him. I think it was about his favorite thing.


He tried on Grandpa Christian's hat too, but it was a bit large on him. That's okay, he'll grow into it.


Here's a couple more pictures of Ezra, sticking his tongue out. He sticks his tongue out a lot when he's happy and excited. There was a lot of being excited this last week.

Fun comic

I just thought I'd share a comic I found to be amusing and so true!

Thanksgiving and Stuff

So this last week and a half have been interesting. Ezra finally fits into his tie onesie that Jess made for him. Isn't it cute?


Ezra's hair has been growing out quite a bit too. Its still crazy to us how fast he's been growing.


Thanksgiving was spent just the three of us. It was nice, but just seemed odd to not have a lot of family around. Susan made an amazing dinner. The turkey breast was divine. How do you like our spread?




The few days off of work were nice too. Too bad we all caught a cold (we're not sure who caught it first). Ezra has been fairly congested, which has made for some late nights, but it could have been a lot worse. We're mostly all better now, which is good.

The weather has been really nice, though a bit chilly at night and early in the morning. (Chilly for here, so mid to low 40s).

It won't be too much longer and we're probably going to have to retire the bouncer. Ezra still really likes it though. We'll see how long it is before he outgrows it.



Thanksgiving evening we put up the tree. Its not a large, grand tree, but it works for us right now. Next year we may have to change things a bit with the ornaments, since most of them are glass, but we'll see.

All the excitement wore Ezra out. He has a tendency to fall asleep during his last bottle, and on Thanksgiving it didn't take long for him to be out.

Other random things. He likes to taste everything (like any good 5 month old). Its funny because a lot of times, if anything is close to his mouth at all he'll try and lick it.
