Alrighty, here is the fourth and final Ezra update for this week. Hooray! It also covers some of the things we've done as a family these last couple weeks. This post is very picture and video heavy so I'm just going to jump into it.
January 16
I'm starting this post off with this video solely for chronology's sake. Don't let it depress you. :)
Here Ezra is complaining about naptime. He has been trying so hard lately to stay awake when he is tired. He has also been developing his little sad emotions, which run their course when I take something away that he wants to play with, my phone for instance, or when I put him down for a nap. If he's on his tummy, he'll put his arms, legs, and little head down on the floor and just cry. If he's on his back, he'll do this.
Of course he was much happier when Daddy came home. |
He thinks he's in training for a mariachi band. He is hoping to specialize in the tambourine.
This one's cute. If you're only going to watch a couple, watch this one. We got him some teething toys from the dollar store that he loves (for the last two months he has been showing all signs of teething but no signs of teeth!). We throw them in the fridge, and he loves to suck on them.
His absolute favorite new activity (Daddy's idea) is playing in all of the toys of his tipped-over toybox. He likes playing with one toy, then moving on. He is always busy. |
His favorite toys, believe it or not, are his books. He loves flipping the pages. |
He also loves our cameras. He is always interested when they are out. |
Ezra had a great time at the seashore. |
And Tanner actually got a couple pictures of me with my baby! |
Ezra is my best little cuddle-buddy. |
Just another pretty view |
We saw a raccoon on our way out! I was pretty scared it would attack us but Tanner told me we'd be fine. At least long enough to get a couple pictures. |
I love this video. It's short but sweet. Ezra always calms way down when it is time to eat, but here he is super chill.
Still loving the tipped-over toybox. |
Another army-crawl video for those who think it's as cute as I do.
Ezra was very, very busy this day. Here are some of the things he did:
1. Watched Baby Einstein, sitting up and using his arms to balance himself
2. Tried tipping over the toy box all by himself
3. Pulled off several leaves from our plant and sucked on the branches
4. Watched cars out the window
5. Ate applesauce for the very first time.
Gosh, I love this baby! |
The next weekend, we went on another adventure, this time to the Deering Estate. |
Leaning forward from where I was sitting in the last picture, this is what I saw. |
We went on a tour of some of the natural areas that was really cool. Here is Tanner next to a strangler fig, a fig that birds eat and spread its seeds by pooping on the branches of other trees. It then starts to grow in the branches, dropping its roots to the ground, and eventually killing the tree. Also, here are some berries I found. The guide didn't know what they were, but I thought they were pretty.
Cocoon made from wild coffee leaves |
Gumbo limbo tree, or the tourist tree for the way its skin peels, and more raccoons! They are apparently everywhere in Florida. Here is a momma and two babies. There was another Momma and two more babies in the woods a few feet away.
A nice German man took our picture. |
Here is a small portion of one of the ceilings of the outside walk of the house, called the seashell mosaic. I wish I could've gotten a shot of the whole thing. It was really beautiful. |
The ballroom |
Cool 16th-century Spanish chandelier |
My cute, skinny husband in front of the estate |
I love this picture. |
And here's our rickety attempt at a selfie in front of the ocean. |
Okay, back to Ezra! He has learned to get up on his hands and knees and rock. This is one of the cutest things so far that he does. I am in love with him.

More cute rocking
And some cute laughing
And some more cute army crawling

Last but not least, Ezra is incredibly strong. Here he is doing pull-ups on his toy box. (I think he loves the box itself more than any of his toys. He is always playing with/in it.)
Wow, he's pretty mobile for 6 months! That's awesome!
