So, Ezra is almost 11 weeks and we are thinking that he is finally turning the corner on his colicky behavior. We have been reluctant to say that Ezra was/is colicky. But as our dear friend Lauren pointed out, "if your baby is normal you don't ask yourself everyday if he has colic" True True. We have been wondering about his colic since the beginning...and then he smiles and has a few hours of calm and we think, "no, not Ezra." Yes, Ezra.

The past couple of days he has been taking naps like a little champ, is all smiles when he wakes up, has been cooing and talking. Very little of his time is spent screaming and fussing. We are praying that this continues and the screaming is a thing of the past.

For the first time since the quiet ride home from the hospital Ezra has been silent in the car. Not only is he not screaming but he actually falls asleep. Today we went to Microsoft to visit Jon at work and Ezra cried when I put him in the carseat but soon fell fast asleep and slept all the way there and repeated the same thing on our way home. I have found that driving in the car without Ezra screaming makes me want to leave the house more and I begin to think of all the possibilities that are now seemingly open to us...oh the joys of a quiet babe in the car.

Ezra had his 2 month check-up yesterday, he is in the 90% of height and weight. Kind of feel bad for squishing him into newborn sized clothes this whole time. He is 13.7 lbs. and 24" long!!
