Ezra is 2!







Happy Birthday to our sweet little boy! So fun being a parent to a two-year old. Ezra is truly a blessing and a wonderful sweet little man. We love taking him places, doing stuff with him and seeing him enjoy life everyday.

He has quite the vocabulary and uses sentences a lot. Once he figured out how to string his words together he took off. A favorite conversation we have is: Ezra, "where did daddy go?" Mamma, "Daddy went to work." Ezra, "whoa" Mamma, "does Mamma work?" Ezra, laughing, "no" Mamma,"Does Ezra work?" Ezra, "no." Mamma, "Does daddy work?" Ezra, "whoa!"

He has also begun his independence this week. Everything is "I do it" or "Ezra do it" or "Ezra work." It is great to see him have confidence in so many areas and want to push himself to do things that are a bit out of his reach (i.e. opening the door with the keys). It also is a good reminder to give extra time when we are trying to go someplace.

Favorites:
-the park
-swinging, jumping and climbing
-playing with friends
-playing with toys
-eating. He likes meat, eggs, berries, crackers, peas...
-the zoo. He loves all the animals. And now knows his way around the zoo by himself.
-Children's museum. He also knows where everything is here.
-chickens. Specifically Uncle Matt's chickens. (And Uncle Matt, and Uncle Matt's tractor, Uncle Matt's cat...At least a couple times a day he says, "I go to Uncle Matts")
-playing soccer and baseball
-trains, cars, airplanes, diggers and dumptrucks. Anything that has wheels.

We love you Ezra. And we are looking forward to seeing you be a big brother. You are already so sweet giving Mama's belly kisses, snuggles and listening to the baby.
