Just Keeps Growing, and Growing, and Growing ....

Ezra has grown a lot the last month or so, a couple of inches or so. He's sitting up a lot better, and loves to "walk" around (holding onto someone's hands of course). He's been a really happy kid generally, which makes things nice.

He is really mobile, and kind of funny when he gets up on all fours, like this:

His hair has grown pretty long, we may have to clip it a bit soon.


He has been eating a lot recently too, which isn't really that surprising, considering his growth spurt.



We've found that its just easiest for now to corral him in the front room. We put some chairs in one opening, the play-yard in the second, and some boxes or something in the other. Its just easier that way. Its fun to see how curious he is though. He's the type of kid that if you lay in his way, he'll just go around if he wanted something on the other side of you.


It looks like we'll be moving out of our apartment next month, which will be a welcome change. This last week, our upstairs neighbors sound like they've been running the Kentucky Derby all day long. The funny thing is that being in a house will be cheaper than it has been to be in our apartment. Its not too far away, which should make the move a bit easier.

We found a good deal on a rocker/glider this last weekend and just couldn't pass it up. Isn't it nice?


Susan and Ezra have really liked it. See!

Mobile? Yes. Crawling?.....Not Really.

Ezra has decided that he doesn't like pureed foods anymore with the exception of squash. So, we have started into the wonderful realm of finger foods that don't actually need teeth to chew. So far he really likes bread and gerber puffs. Today he had pancakes for the first time and loved them.

Enjoying breakfast.


The past couple of weeks have been interesting because Ezra has decided to give up his midday nap. Let's just say some days were more tiring than others.

I don't want to take a nap.


After going back and forth over whether I wanted to cut my hair or not I finally decided to go short. (Ezra grabbing my hair a lot kind of helped) I'm really glad I did. I love it.


Ezra has a shoe fetish and he will do anything to get to a shoe if he sees one. It's pretty funny considering he can't crawl yet. He does do this cute move that gets him everywhere and I mean everywhere. I'm definitely getting some exercise trying to keep him out of things.

Pretty shoes



Doing his own type of crawl.
