"My Brother Threw-up on My Stuffed Toy Bunny"

Hmm- can you tell I'm now a parent?

Yoga Evidence

Here is a fuzzy, but fun, pic from post-natal yoga :) My friend Lea took it.

Social Baby

I've discovered that Ezra is taking after mommy and seems to be extroverted! Or, at least, he's a curious baby who loves to be out and about :) As you'll see in pictures to come, he takes after his daddy quite a bit too.

We took Ezra to Seattle Center last Saturday to enjoy the GORGEOUS fall weather.






Here are some randomly interjected pictures displaying Ezra's newfound skill: toe grabbing! He puts them in his mouth and everything :)

What up? Baby in a hood







kisses!!!

This is a picture of my new tummy technique for Ez. He loves doing tummy time if I just prop him up a little bit on a blanket. Then, he uses his arms. I think he's getting the hang of pushing himself up with his arms, so hopefully soon I'll be able to remove the blanket altogether.


Here he is taking after Brendan: he's keyboard obsessed! If you've yet to receive chat or email from Ezra, just wait; you will!

This is SUPER BABY! (with "Law and Order" in the background).


Playing on his train blanket from some friends in 'rillo.

This week was full of fun that I didn't get to take photograph.
Monday, we stayed home b/c mommy had a cold.
Tuesday we went to a new community mommies' group that meets up the block and learned that indeed Ezra has a TOOTH coming in! I didn't believe him, but sure enough there is a little nub pushing through. The nurse who facilitates the Tuesday group confirmed it for me. Later that day, we went to Paper Zone (which Ezra loved- so many colors!) and Pier 1 (throw pillows for $6!!!). I take Ezra out of the carseat every chance I get now. He has way more fun when I hold him stores so he can flirt and look at everything. He's grown up so much that he no longer pitches a giant fit when he gets in the seat! Thank God!
Wednesday we went to Baby Sing Along at the Seattle Holistic Center. That was a trip and a half!It was very hippy, but, ya know, I kind of like that stuff. There were a few moments of potential earth worship, but I kept Ezra straight by saying the truth in his ear! Icold really write a whole post about it. After that I took him to Brendan & Jessica park (known to some as The Secret Garden!). It was his first playground trip, and he wanted to touch everything. I put him in the sling and we swang (swinged?) together
Thursday we went to another moms' group, and we met the baby that Cindie delivered 2 days before Ez!
Today is a baby shower!
We are busy and having fun :)

Lame

I know I'm lame. I will try to get pictures up soon! I have a bunch of new fun photos from our recent adventures :)

3 Months and More Yoga

Ezra turned "3" on Tuesday. We celebrated by going to the pet store to buy more food and cage filler for the guinea pigs. Woo Hoo! Ezra didn't seem to mind the lack of cake... though, I did, a bit. :)
He has new tricks these days. He has laughed 3 times quite obviously and had some half hearted attempts at it for Brendan this morning. He's starting to roll a little more from his back to his side. I'm working on more effective tummy time to strengthen his arms. I'll try my best to get some laughing on video once it becomes a more regular behavior.

Ezra has now joined his mother in being a yoga fan. Brendan ordered Itsy Bitsy Yoga for us, and so far Ezra really seems to enjoy doing baby yoga with us. I think it is helping him to relax before bedtime, and it must also be aiding his digestion b/c we don't have nearly as many bouts with a fussy tummy these days. I love having more ideas for how to play with him, and I'm glad that I can know what all the little games and stretches are helping Ezra to learn or helping his body to do. Ezra's favorite pose? SUPER BABY! He also seems to like One Foot, Two Foot Lotus. I HIGHLY reccomend getting this book. Be ready to ignore whatever cheesy stuff bothers you (umm, imagine your heart glowing with your favorite color????), but overall it is really great.

High Maintenance!

Ezra has been eating every 2 hours or so lately. So, I haven't had much time to do stuff. Yesterday, he went back to a more infrequent feeding schedule. He is cuter everyday, though! So, go to flikr to check out our most recent pics :)
