The life of Ezra, the past six weeks...

Ezra is a couple days away from being officially six weeks old! Wow, the time has really flown by. Looking at him now we keep thinking how big he has gotten. We can see how he is filling out and getting even more snuggly and chubby--and then we look at the tags on his clothes and he is still wearing newborn sized clothes. Reality check-he is still really little.

Some of Ezra's favorite things:
Tummy time--or more appropriate back time. He spends a little bit of time at least twice a day hanging out here. He is not all that interested in the hanging animals above him as he is at checking out our house around him.

Bouncy seat--he likes to hang out here and look around.

Baby Bjorn--he enjoys walking around. He generally starts out the walk with using his incredible neck strength to hold up his head and look around. Once the looking is completed he falls asleep. A few evenings a week I load him up into the bjorn and head to the park across the street and swing on the swings, he likes it.

Being swaddled and held. He loves to be held. He spends a lot of time being held, a favorite way to fall asleep.

Things Ezra doesn't like:
Car seat! and the car. The moment we put him in the car he screams. Where most babies will fall asleep after they have cried loudly for awhile, not Ezra his crying seems to refuel him for more. He will literally scream and cry for the entire drive, regardless of how long we are driving.

That sums up Ezra's little life. We love him so much and look at him in awe everyday at how wonderful and amazing he is. We are so blessed by God to have such a wonderful little boy to raise and love.
