Can you believe it?

We've been out of the blog business for almost six months! But finally, after some clever maneuvering (moving to a new house, putting the internet in my name....) we're back online and hopefully I'll keep up a little better, Sorry!

Ezra is a giant. He's running around the house like a mad thing. He's in love with Cheerios, Frosted Mini-Wheats and Ned. Ned is not in love with Ezra, there's a lot of sad sighing. Ezra calls Ned 'De.' He runs around the house yelling 'De-De!' Ned hides. I have some fun pictures I've put together, as soon as I find a way to post them (they're really scrapbook pages) I'll get them up.

Good times....

The baby loves spoons, bowls and playing in his own spit-up. He's a cheap date. He also thinks 'chase the baby' should go on for hours, even though probably half the time he forgets to run away and just laughs.

We tried for a picture with Santa (we'll scan the end results soon.), it didn't go well. at all. He screamed as soon as he saw Santa. We tried pretty hard. Alan jiggled the baby until he laughed, actually ran through the picture and tossed the baby on Santa's lap hoping to get a picture before he figured out where he was. We got the picture as he figured it out, oh well.

Holy smokes!

We have gone from wobbly tottering to cruising distant corners of the house in just days! Ezra spent a few days sort of crawling/rolling from place to place. He was overcorrecting with his hips and accidentally log rolling more often than not. Now he's up and moving before you can blink! (as a matter of fact, there he goes now...) We've already had to move Ned's food and water. The water bowl is a source of endless entertainment. For now the bowls are just around the corner, but I imagine I'll have to move them again in a few days. I'm desperately trying to convince him to stay on the carpet, within arms reach, it's not really working.... So far I've found him in Ned's water, under the coffee table, sucking on the first step of the stairs, climbing over the roller of Alan's stationary bike, under the coffee table, chewing on every power cord we have, headed towards the dead flies in the laundry room, under the coffee table.... I don't know what I'll do when he discovers the floor to ceiling blinds at the other end of the house! Right now I have him occupied chasing an empty baby bottle around the floor.

He's decided that naps are for sissies and the beloved exersaucer is his enemy. I'm lucky if he naps for 45 minutes. (he just found his slotted spoon...we're never buying toys again, we're just going to clean out our cabinets.)

What am I going to do when he can walk?

Late pictures from a Halloween birthday party! Ezra's in the pictures so that counts right?

Halloween Blue Eyes



So here is Ezra's Halloween costume. It just doesn't seem right that it was 70 degrees and sunny on Halloween. This picture was taken on the front wall of our house's property. Pretty nice, eh?

And still, Ezra has brilliant baby blue eyes. It looks like there are lights behind them. I'm not sure how they ended up that color, but I"m pretty sure they are a closer match to Riley and John than Rachel and Alan.

Wow. Alan and I are super lazy bloggers! We'll try to be better....

Ezra is sitting up like a professional sitter-upper. Just in the last few days he's discovered that toys aren't just for chewing on, now they're for banging! Or throwing, whatever. He absolutely loves the excersaucer from Auntie Renee. (Mom loves it too, the kitchen at least has a chance now.)



For the last few weeks he's been rolling and wiggling where he wants to go. I keep putting him down in one place and finding him across the room. For a baby who wasn't crawling he really gets around!



And then came the crawling. He's pushing up on all fours, tottering and pushing forward for a few scoots. Of course then comes the face-plant, but he's getting the hang of it.

More later, promise.
