Excitement!!!

So, we found a house that we like and are deep in the throes of going through the paperwork and such. We're really excited. We got to pick out the flooring this weekend. It was a spec home, so when we saw it for the first time, it was basically already mostly built. It will be really nice to have our own place that we can say is ours. It will also be nice to stop moving so much. The other day we both decided that in the last 10 years we've each moved 9 or 10 times, and 4 times already since we've been married. We close the end of September or early October (they weren't sure exactly what day, said it depended on what we pick for the remaining options and how long it takes to order things if they have to).

Susan has been fighting a cold this week, and Ezra has been teething quite a bit, so things have been interesting to say the least. Ezra's teeth are really coming in well though.


He's got his two top teeth and then three on the bottom. He's got two more pushing on the top it looks like.

This week he's decided that screaming is fun, so he screams at everything. He screams when he's happy, when he's sad, when he's excited, when its light outside, when its dark outside, you get the picture.

We're trying to start teaching him animal sounds, and most times you can get him to say moo, and you can always get a growl out of him, which is for either a bear, or a lion, or a tiger, or a dragon. He has started making car noises with his toys sometimes too.

We made some brownies this afternoon and gave Ezra half of one. He tried to fit the whole thing in his mouth, but it wouldn't fit. He just kept gnawing on the end of it and pushing until it finally did. He liked it though.


In other news, Ezra generally ignores the TV except when Sid the Science Kid is on, and of course he'll drop everything to watch M.A.S.H. I'm not sure what it is about MASH, but he's enthralled by it.
