17 months


Our little boy is 17 months old. Time has really flown by. Ezra has the sweetest little heart. He is gentle, kind and loves to help out. He is also stubborn and determined. Some of his favorite things right now are animals. He knows pretty much any animal in his books and the corresponding sound they make. He is also a little talker and chatters about as he does all of his important things throughout the day. He is constantly on the go and is always "working" on a project.

We have had a busy couple of months. We went to Hawaii for a bit and it was so much fun to take Ezra swimming, boogie boarding and to hang out on the beach with him everyday. He was the ring bearer for my sisters wedding, a role that he filled wonderfully. Ezra is a great traveler, he takes naps, eats his snacks and generally is up for anything.

One of the greatest joys that we experience daily with him is seeing his personality come out. He is now at the age where he is joking around with us and knows that he is so funny. Just this afternoon he was pretending to sleep, complete with a fake snore sound. When we would "wake" him he would jump up and laugh!

A daily activity for him right now is climbing and jumping. When he is ready to jump he says, "set! GO!" and then he jumps.

We love love love being his parents. And praise Jesus for all the wonderful months that we have had with him.

14 months


14 months?!? Really?? Ezra is really into books these days! He loves to go to his basket of books and rummage through until he finds the one that he is looking for. He then sits down to read it or brings it over to us to have it read to him. He loves animals, right now some of his favorite animals (and that he can say or at least say what sound they make) are cows, pigs, fish, giraffes, birds, chickens and monkeys. He also likes trucks, buses and airplanes. Ezra is a water baby, he adores being in the water and will take any chance he can get to be in it.

Recently he has been into shoes. He will carry shoes all around the house and say "shoo, shhh" and try to put them on his feet. When he gets up from his nap in the morning he wants his shoes on. He now wears big boy shoes with real soles, not just robeez anymore.

He is truly a boy. He loves exploring, investigating and figuring out how things work. He loves to help us do things. He chats all day long. Now that he has been walking for a month he is starting to run.

He likes to go "bye-bye" and will often stand at the front door ready to go. When we open the door he goes out to the hall and waits for me to lock the door. Once the door is locked he starts heading to elevator, gets in the elevator pushes some buttons and waits at the door. When the doors open he heads out and stands at the front door ready to help me push it open. He likes to push doors open.

We love Ezra so much and are so thankful that we have been blessed to have been his parents the last 14 months.

Working on the car

Ezra wanted to wear Jon's hat while working on his car today.
