Games, Bottles, Swings, & Potatoes...

The last couple of weeks have been interesting. Ezra keeps getting bigger by the day it seems. Every day brings something new. The other day while we were playing Wii, Ezra woke up from his nap and played on the floor for a bit while we finished the last part of our game. He kept looking up at us and reaching for the controller whenever either of us would get close to him, so we gave him one to play with. It was funny to watch.


We decided to see what he'd do with trying to feed himself, so we stripped him down and gave him a pile of mashed potatoes to play with. He actually ate quite a bit, once he figured out what it was.

He's been holding his own bottle now. One day, Susan took the bottle from him since he was just playing around and not drinking. Apparently, he finally decided that he was hungry because he took it from her hands and stuck it into his mouth.


We also took him out to the park this weekend. It was nice to get out for a bit. He liked the swing, though he wasn't sure exactly what to make of the slide when each of us went down it with him.




In other news, Shawn's birthday was this week. There were random other goings on throughout the week. We had someone in the ward baby-sit for us and were able to go out on a date this weekend, which was really nice. Tonight we had Ammon & Shari over for dinner and games. They really like coming over and playing with Ezra. Dinner was really good too! Rhonda's recipe for pork Barbacoa is awesome! Susan made a really good red velvet cake too. We all were really full after dinner.
