April 2010 highlights

Asher was excited to get out his big bike when the weather warmed. He is doing well now with pedaling all by himself...

Also, he does a wonderful job spelling his name, but we were astounded when he picked up the sidewalk chalk at Aunt Holly's house and wrote a mirror image of his name too...

Asher has been an excellent big brother. Here is a picture of the boys together...

Recently, he said he wanted to bring his brother to PS to be his show and tell...


Here's a picture of Ezra and daddy...

Since playing peek-a-boo with Chris at his birthday party, Ezra's latest game is to hide behind the chair and wait for someone to call for him and then pop out smiling from ear to ear...

Ezra playing with Grandpa (taking his hat off and then putting it back on again)...

My baby is 1!

While it's not like my baby hasn't been growing up too fast already, it is hard to believe that he is 1 year old!

Ezra took off walking at 10 months. So now he is busier than ever before. He loves being more mobile, and he communicates more too. Mr. Independent lately. :) He is still growing like a weed. At his 1 year check up, Ezra was at 95th percentile for both his weight and height.

As is tradition for our family, Ezra had a birthday cupcake the morning of his birthday. Needless to say, he loved it...

We have been practicing with "big boy cups" and I like to call this one "Got Milk?"...

A few presents the morning of his birthday...



Here some 1 year pictures. April 7th:

Holly's photo shoot:




Holly actually got all of the kids together and (love this one) full of personality:


We also (finally) got a family picture with our family, mom & dad, and Holly's family at the birthday party:


And here are a few other pictures from the party:



Who doesn't like a happy birthday boy covered in chocolate?! :)

Winter to Spring

Big apologies for the lack of pictures lately! Seems we have been busy, busy, busy. Of course, as the weather continued to get nicer, there was more to do :)

So I don't break a promise... a few sledding pictures:






The boys are doing well. Ezra had too many ear infections since the end of November, and poor little guy had fluid on his ear the full 40 days prior to his surgery. But, since getting tubes in his ears (end of March), he is happy and healthy as can be. Asher enjoyed winter and has loved playing outside even more as the weather warmed. My big boy has been loving preschool, and it is hard to believe that the end of his 1st year of school is just around the corner.

Now on to the big event of Spring... our little Ezra turned 1 year old!
