Ezra's Blessing

Summer

Ezra

Man we lucked out with this kid! As the pictures will show, Ezra is the happiest baby to ever live! I constantly feel like someone is trying to trick us into having a third baby. Giving us a false sense of confidence about our abilities, and I just keep having to remind myself that Ez is a one in a million kid, and there is no way we would get two kids in a row as sweet as this boy! Alas, life as always is moving much too fast, and my baby boy is already 8 months old.  Ezra loves shoulder rides, tickles, food (I didn't want to start solids until he was 6 months, but we couldn't resist that little face as he longing looked at our food, so we started him at 4 months and he has eaten like a champ), t.v.- a little too much, and most of all his Sissy. He is currently rolling around the house, sitting-up, and working on crawling any day now. We love this little guy so much, and love every day we get to spend with him!

A little hard to tell, but this was a monumental day- Ezra's first faux-hawk. With both Hallie and Ez, I think this is a day that both Grant and I carry a little extra gratitude with us, and reflect on what a blessing it is get to live out our dreams with these sweet little ones that we get to call our own!

Love this boy, hopefully he won't hold it against me that I have failed horribly about keeping up with his milestones on this blog. Classic second child syndrome...

Hallie

Hallie continues to love all things related to princesses. Most art projects we do are crowns, magic wands, or pictures of princess dresses. We did branch out one day, and made a paper chain, but it was to count down to the Princess Party at the library- So basically Hallie has a one-track-mind.

 The other day while we were at Hallie's little exersize class, she was running back and forth with the other kids, and her shoe kept slipping off. I told her to stop, and put her shoe back on to which she responded, "silly me, I just keep turning into Cinderella", and then she slipped her shoe back on and went back to the game.

Hallie thought the "Hungry Hippos" might also be thirsty after all that eating, and decided to share her sippy with them.

I can't believe she ever fit in this seat!

A bloody nose from picking too much obviously calls for a band-aid.

Olive hands!

We set a tent up in her room so that we could have a camp-in.

This girl just keeps us laughing.
