Moving

Ezra has been crawling and climbing around a lot recently. It sure makes it a bit more interesting, especially since he is so curious.

Susan is feeling somewhat better, but still a bit sore.

We did end up finding a place to move, and it just so happens that it is nicer than the one that we were going to move in to. With all of that, we may not post for a week or so; but that's not too much different than normal, now is it?

Funny story. We were at a store looking at rugs for the new place. Ezra was in the shopping cart and we both had turned our backs to look at the rugs. There was a slight rustling sound and a 7-foot fake plant came tumbling down onto us, he had apparently just pulled it down. Ezra just looked around, it didn't even phase him. Needless to say we kept a closer watch on him after that.

When it rains, it pours...

This last month has just been so crazy. So as Ezra was getting better last weekend, both of us got sick. It was a cold, and we both had a kind of cruddy weekend. Shawn got better fairly quickly, but Susan's congestion wouldn't go away on one side, and her jaw started hurting. Apparently she got a bit of an infection around her wisdom tooth. The dentist that she saw on Friday morning sent us to an oral surgeon, and Susan gets her wisdom teeth out tomorrow afternoon. Not quite what we were planning, but it gives Shawn's family an excuse to come visit. Thanks a million for coming to see us Mom!!!

We were going to start moving this weekend. Friday morning Shawn went and dropped off our deposit check for the house that we were going to rent and got the keys. A few hours later our realtor called us and let us know that the landlord had backed out and decided that they didn't want to rent their house after all. That would have been nice to know 3 or 4 weeks ago when we started this process, but whatever. We went and saw another place on Saturday and are waiting to hear back on it. Needless to say, its been a bit much.

Otherwise, Ezra is doing great. He's pulling up on EVERYTHING. He's taken a couple of small spills, but nothing too major. He's 9 months old today. Its been going so fast. Enough rambling, on to the pictures:

Such a happy kid!!!


The tent was added to the barrier in the hallway because he just about climbed over the plastic bins.

Playing with his toy box. He loves standing up.

Feeling Better & Nice Things

Ezra has started feeling quite a bit better. He's still not 100%, but he's getting into everything again, which is a good sign. He's been talking a lot, and using new sounds. He says mama and dada a lot, though a lot of times he's just making noise.

He's started pulling him self onto things more. Earlier today he crawled over our barricade to keep him from going behind the couch ( aka our tent). He's been really pulling him self up on some bins that we had blocking the hallway. He's been trying to climb over them but has a tendency to loose his grip.

At one point he realized that he could almost fit between them. Trying to make a break for it.


We got the house we were looking at, so we sign our lease tomorrow. It will be so nice to be out of apartments. We got a new bed set, since in our new place our bedroom is right at the top of the stairs. Isn't it pretty?


And then for the escapades in food. Here's some pita bread pizzas we made last night. They were so good!

Our Sick Baby

So the last day or so has been a bit exhausting for all three of us. Ezra got sick. He started coughing pretty bad and whatnot. We took him in, but he didn't seem to have too many other symptoms. He ended up with an appointment with the other doctor, since his doctor didn't have any open appointments. They attributed it all to him teething (his gums have been pretty swollen), and sent us home. Last night none of us really slept. He was coughing a lot, that real chesty cough that just wrenches at your heartstrings. We have been doing the best we could with him, and decided it would be best if we took him back in, since he'd obviously gotten worse. His cough had seemed to move in more, it was hard for him to eat anything, he was really congested, and he seemed to have started running a fever. We went in, and he has an ear infection in one ear, and also a slight case of RSV. They put him on some antibiotics and some breathing treatments, and that seems to be helping. He's been able to sleep some this evening, and his fever seems to be going down at least a bit. The congestion has broken up a bit as well, so he can kind of breathe through his nose again. The next couple of days should be telling, but things seem to be looking up.
