It was so hard to start again. I don't think I've even started again or will ever have the time like I used to. However, I had to write this letter, it's been on my to do list for 3 months. I'm happy to check something off. <br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">My Dearest Ezra<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">You turned 15 months 2
days ago and the last letter I wrote you was 3 months ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sorry about that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess I’m finally making up for the 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
8 months of Gage’s life when I didn’t even write him letters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last 3 months have been a blur of
schoolwork for Mommy and trying to spend every moment w/ you guys that I can in
the 2-3 hours I see you each weekday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
just read your last letter and, my have you changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m pretty sure I’m not even writing about the
same little boy anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could go on
and on about you at 15 months, so let me try to hit the high points.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ezra, you are crazy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are our little daredevil and are scared
of nothing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are a climber and a
mover and a shaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t even know
where to begin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You last weighed in
about a month ago at almost 23 lbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
have 10 teeth and are a RUNNER.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(You
started standing right around mid-October and walked a few days later.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This got you in trouble this last week on
your 15<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> month bday, you ran and fell and hit the seam of the wall
right in the middle of your forehead, nearly splitting it in 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it worked out as well as to be
expected and it didn’t seem to cause any side effects aside from a GIANT black
and blue bruise you will sport next week in your Christmas pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ezra, for a while we weren’t sure if you’d be
a talker, but I think you have proved us wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although not as articulate as your brother, you have around 10 words
including:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Daddy, kitty, momma, Gagey, bye
bye, baby, ball, eat, teeth, hi, yeah, cheese and nana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have even strung 2 words together and say
‘bye bye kitty’, or ‘bye bye daddy’. You also sing the ‘Bubble Guppies’ theme
song and try to say your friends’ names at school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You also sign a TON.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know the signs for eat, please, thank you,
bath, naughty, water, milk, more, daddy and hot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although we feel like you don’t know many
words, it seems you understand every command we give you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still LOVE to eat and that’s probably the
most frequent thing you ask for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next is
bath…you will stop anything you’re doing (even throwing a fit) to climb up the
stairs for your bath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You love to splash
in the water and play with your bath toys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Because of your love for
food and milk, you are quickly outgrowing most of your clothes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least we have a never ending wardrobe and
can just continue to dig out the next appropriate size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ve outgrown all 12 month onesies or head
to toe outfits. Even some of your 12-18<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>pants won’t button around your expanding midsection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am scared that next week at your 15 mo. appt,
Dr. Bauer may mention your belly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
still call you ‘Squish’ at daycare and if you’re asked to find your pudge, you
know where to look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of your
favorite things right now are music, Bubble Guppies and your Fisher Price
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still love whatever Gage is
playing with and you have a few books you’re<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">obsessed</i> with but most you won’t let us read past the 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
2 pages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s really quite funny- you
bring us books or let us begin new books but by 2 pages in you already know whether
you’ll listen or close it and say ‘bye bye’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ezra, you love Ace- oh God, do you love him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And bless his heart, you full on tackle him
weighing at least 3x him and he lets you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don’t know why he hasn’t caught on to running yet, but it hasn’t
seemed to faze him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are particularly
naughty these days and are all.over.the.place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s very hard to keep you contained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You constantly pull at the Christmas tree or try to get things you can’t
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You love to stack things so that
you can climb then and most often try to climb things that can’t be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As active as you, it must wear you out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are a pretty good sleeper at night I have
to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You usually sleep from about
7p-6a.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You might wake up once or twice
for a new diaper, but that’s usually the extent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am sure I am jinxing myself, but you haven’t
been up for any length of time for quite a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although in the last few weeks you’ve been
slightly whinier at night due to about 84 teeth popping up in your head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You just cut your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> molar and I’
m pretty sure at least 2 more are on their way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I wish I’d been blogging these
last 3 months, I could probably tell you what we’ve been up to, but it all
seems to be a blur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You had your birthday
of course and then celebrated Halloween as a lobster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You loved riding around in the wagon- it was
a very nice night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You celebrated Gage’s
4<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> birthday and had your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> plane ride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to Austin to visit your Daddy’s
family and it was a pretty awesome trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’ve of course visited Nana and Grandiddy and they’ve been here as
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You got to snuggle with your
Auntie just 3 weeks before she died early last month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She sure loved you and your brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These next few weeks will be pretty exciting
as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> Xmas that
you’ll get to open gifts and your Grandma and Grandpa from TX will be
visiting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Just 2 weeks ago, you got
to play in your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> snow, sled for the 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> time and visit
Santa Clause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No fear there, again, you
toddled right on up to him and climbed right up in his lap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You LOVE to smile and laugh and how could I
forget, your ABSOLUTE favorite thing in all the world is peek a boo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something that cracks your teachers up at
school is every time anyone says funny or silly, not even to you, but in
passing, you CRACK up- thinking you must be in on the joke as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ezra, although you are crazy, we LOVE you and
our lives would be lacking without you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gage loves you too and although you’ve become an annoyance later when
you want to take his toys or take a bite out of his leg or arm, he still loves
to play with you and show you things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
can’t believe how fast you are growing up and I’m thankful for my cell phone
where I occasionally jot down milestones, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Life is almost too quick these days and although your baby book will never
be comparable to Gage’s, I swear I’m writing down things as much as I can-
without missing out on the important things- being in the moment with you
too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would be amiss if I didn’t
mention in this letter your complete obsession with your Daddy and how much you
LOVE him these days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt like the
babysitter the other day as he left and you cried and cried for him and couldn’t
be soothed. Every chance you get you’re in his arms and it’s a great relationship
to watch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully I’ll be back next
month to write you another letter when you move up to the next class at school
and down to one nap a day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My baby is growing up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love you Ezra Jude, my little dude!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Merry Christmas!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It just doesn't happen. Takes some getting used to be being back at work and having no time to blog or do anything at all, really. I'm teaching new classes this year so after the kids go to bed it's lots of work for me. Although this letter is finished 3 weeks late, I wanted to still write/post it. In 6 days, my baby will be 1!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Ezra<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is less than 2 weeks ‘til your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
birthday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been putting off this
letter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First we were on vacation and it
was my LAST week to spend with the 2 of you before going back to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was tired from a busy summer and just
didn’t take the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got home,
you boys went back to school and I went back to work and it’s been a crazy 2
weeks that I haven’t got to spend much time with the 2 of you. It makes me sad
but I know in just a few weeks both of you will adjust and you’ll be happy to
be back with your friends at school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh
my God, in jus t 12 days you’ll be 1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ll try to write this letter as you were at 11 months, I’m sure not
much has changed in the last few weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At 11 months, you still LOVE to laugh, mostly at your
brother or when we’re pulling you back when you crawl away from us while we’re
changing you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just in the last month,
you have finally been able to start really playing with Gage…you guys love to
play with your Fisher Price house, your dinosaur popper and ‘cook dinner’
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s an awesome thing, watching
the two of you play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You also LOVE your
tunnel, much like Gage did, but we can hardly let the 2 of you play since you
guys are so silly and so rough that someone’s bound to get hurt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking of, you love to roughhouse and it
makes you happy when Daddy plays hard with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You still love to eat and haven’t found much (aside from fish sticks)
you don’t really care for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of your
favorites are mac and cheese, pizza, and yogurt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still eat at least one pouch a day and
you still enjoy them b/c you can feed them to yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still nurse 4x a day and nap twice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ve become quite the good little
napper<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this summer and for that I am
thankful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do need a break at some
point.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You still haven’t started talking and I think the one word
you can claim is ‘Daddy’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m still not
even sure you really mean it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some days
you look right at him, point and say Daddy, other days the door opens around
5pm and you say ‘Daddy’, then some days you look at the cat and say ‘Daddy’ so
who really knows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can make the sound
‘mama’ but don’t say it on any kind of consistent basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You do love your Mama though and cry almost
every am I leave you at school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You got
spoiled spending time with me this summer and even have a little bit of ‘stanger
danger’ that Gage never had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t
like to be held by people that aren’t familiar to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You weigh right around 20 lbs and it seems you get heavier
every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You wear all 12 month clothes
and have an entire wardrobe for every season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I wrote in your last letter that you didn’t care for the pool, but you
learned to mostly like it (more so in the afternoon when there was some shade)
and you loved the beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You loved
playing with your big brother in the waves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You are really a ‘no fear’ kinda kid.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Within the last month, we have gone to the beach twice, been
to Gage’s swim class on multiple occasions, finished up your swim class
(complete with blowing bubbles), been to the zoo and a birthday party and hung
at the park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing too interesting,
just the normal summer stuff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this
point in my letter, I realize that it’s taken me over 3 weeks to write this
letter to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For that, I
apologize.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just don’t have the time
after work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to spend the 2 hours
with you guys every night and it always gets put on the back burner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For that reason, Ezra, this letter is kinda
lame, but it’s life right now and that’s the point of these letters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll stop writing now and in less than a week
I’ll be reflecting on your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I love you my Ezra Bean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are
truly a joy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lots of pictures from only 4 days. See, sometimes, I just like to play and not take pictures. I tend to only take my camera to the beach one or 2 days while we're there. Playing is too much fun.<br />

And although I have been seriously slacking on birthday posts (I do apologize to those I have missed), I do not have any pictures but do want to wish my niece, Ianna a very happy 9th birthday today and my good friend, Malisa, a happy birthday as well.Amy and Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18110872988693356770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850040474427772253.post-66115751634781595082013-08-24T21:04:00.001-04:002013-08-24T21:04:40.474-04:00Project 52: Week 32 and 33Yeah, so there was vacation you know and life and stuff. So here are the last few weeks of August all at once.<br />
<br />
Week 32: (Aug 4-10) Only 3 pictures this week, boo! And all of Gage! We had a mini golf play date and a lunch date with Daddy. We did meet up with friends at a pretty cool park with a carousel and train, but no pics of that.<br />

Week 33: (Aug 11-17) Only 3 again, I guess that's my average. I mean I have more than 3 pictures a week, just not on 3 different days...blah. Gage ended up being sick this week so we were sequestered to the house for 3 days before our beach trip. Guess nothing exciting to take pics of.</div>

There are so many things I want to blog about but I keep doing picture posts instead. I want to keep this up the whole year even if I blog about nothing else. At least I can go back and see what we did. Probably better this way- I doubt if I'd ever have time to blog this summer. Here goes....<br />

<br />
Week 29 (July 14-20)- OMG, complete fail! Now it really is over. I have ZERO pictures from this week, what the hell did we do? Looking back at my calendar, this was our super busy, super fun week. Guess we were having so much fun I didn't bother to take any pictures. We had a bounce house playdate on Monday, AJ over on Tuesday, a swim playdate on Wed. and Thursday (Oh, wait, I have ONE picture a friend sent me!) and I had a much needed pedicure on Saturday!<br />

Week 30 (July 21-27)- Luke's bday week and our long weekend beach getaway. Can you believe no pictures of the birthday- we spent the entire day in the car, but then had ice cream and cake on Sunday instead. Here are my boys enjoying the beach and the rest of the week.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Ezra-<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In just 8 weeks, we will be celebrating your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
birthday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never really got it when I
read other parent’s posts/letters/comments about how they want time to stand
still and how their babies grow up so fast, but oh my God- it really IS flying
by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One year is just crazy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t believe we’ve come this far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are my little firecracker and there is
never a dull moment when you’re around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You keep Momma on her toes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
have the sweetest smile and your giggle could melt anyone’s heart but you sure
do like to make it known when you’re unhappy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Your teeth continue to make you mad- they just always seem to be
rightthere and just enough to make you hurt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You still are a biter and quite frankly I’m not really looking forward
to the phone calls next year from daycare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I feel<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>like you’re
finally turning that corner to understanding and communicating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the time that Gage started talking
and although you haven’t yet, you definitely have your ‘sound’ for the kitties
and whether we say their name or you see them, it’s always the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can say ‘dada’ although I’m not
completely sure you’re associating it, you definitely know it’s something we
want you to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have started
signing ‘milk’ when you want to eat although now it seems like you just like to
sign it for fun as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know how to
high five and think it’s pretty hilarious and you are consistently waving hi
and bye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just can’t wait to hear more
of your little voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can only hope
you’re as verbal as Gage this early on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One major difference in you and Gage at this age is your
eating habits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is NOTHING you will
not eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is. aside from anything
that appears to be baby food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have
no use for it anymore- all you want is what we’re eating and you want it ALL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You eat twice as much as Gage at a sitting
and most of the time I wonder if we should cut you off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t even know how much a baby your age
should be eating but I have a feeling it’s less than what we give you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In turn, milk is pretty much a dessert for
you, which is fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still nurse 4
times a day, 2 of which I don’t think you really care too much about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I think we’re gonna make it, dude- all
the way to a year!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your favorite foods
right now are oranges like your brother, turkey, cheese and just about
everything else!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m not really sure where you’re putting all the food but
you are wearing a combination of 9 and 12 month clothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You seem to have the same short legs as Gage
but a much rounder belly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking of
Gage, the time has come that you guys are really starting to ‘play’
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, you still think
he’s the greatest ever and he’s starting to feel the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you’re upset in the car, he comforts you
by making you laugh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says things like
‘it’s ok, Ezzy, we’re almost home’, like he’s heard me say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other day you guys played for almost an
hour together- it warms my heart to see you interact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are still quite the mover and don’t
‘play’ very well unsupervised.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are
still chasing cords, cats and shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
do however like the kitty piano, dancing and playing with trains and cars and
the Little People garage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You like
Gage’s blocks and like to bang them together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You sit slightly longer than you used to for books, although you’re not
the scholar your brother was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are
now full on crawling on your knees, cruising around anything and everything and
can stand for a few seconds alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
don’t seem to be too interested yet, so I’m still guessing it’s going to be
around 13 months before you’re ready to take your 1st steps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You finished swim lessons this week and
seemed to enjoy them for the most part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You still aren’t the biggest fan of the pool (much to Gage’s dismay) but
maybe next summer when you have a little more freedom you’ll like it
better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For now, you don’t like being
contained in your float.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is much more
tolerable though in the afternoon when there’s some shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t seem to be a fan AT ALL of the sun
and you’re not a fan of your hat either, so that’s kind of a problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unfortunately, you’re back to being a crappy napper and
don’t seem to break an hour most days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You also started sleeping in a bit this summer but are back to your 6am
wakings and refusing to go back to sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You do still go to bed right around 7pm though with a full belly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have taken to screaming at me though when
it’s just the 2 of us and I put you in your crib to play because I have to get
something done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You DO NOT LIKE it when
I ignore you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are kind of high
maintenance like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You do like your
doorway bouncer though and can at least tolerate it for a bit of time…..as long
as you can see me….grrr.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the last month, you have taken your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> trip
to Dutch Wonderland and stayed in your 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> hotel!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have stayed home most of the month with
Gage and I and we have had our ups and downs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You’ve tagged along to the bounce house, eaten at Chick Fil A, seen your
brother do gymnastics, enjoyed music at the mall, gotten your pics taken with
your brother (you’re much more photogenic than him;)), hung with Nana and
Grandiddy, gone to SplashDown and taken your 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> trip to the beach!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll help Daddy celebrate his 34<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
birthday on Saturday and we have 3 more weeks together before we head down to
the OBX for our final vacay of the summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s crazy how quick our summer has flown by and how much you’ve
grown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just can’t believe you are
growing up so fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love you my Ezzy
dear- you keep me on my toes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although
our snuggles are few and far between, they are special to me and your giggles
light up all of our lives!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love you,
Squishy!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Weeks 26-27It's always been hard for me after my 'breaks' to resume blogging on a regular basis. There's so much I want to write about but feel so far behind and it's easier to not try to catch up. So it's mid-July and I haven't even posted yet this month. I have tons of birthday posts coming up and updates on how we've been spending our summer. And although I'm way behind in the Project 52, I'm determined and although I'm not caught up and won't ever be, I'm going to continue to post my pics, if for no one else, but myself. <br />
<br />
Week 26 (halfway through) (June 23-29). I actually didn't do so bad- 5 out of 7 days.<br />

Then life happened and I didn't have a picture to go with it, I started slacking and I never got back to it. However, I still want to post it, although I'll be writing another one later this week. <br />
<br />
My Dearest Ezra<br />
<br />
9 months! 2/3 of a year! Although it's never even occurred to me, apparently the 9 month milestone is a big one since it marks you being in the world longer than I grew you. Either way for me, it's huge! By the end of the summer you'll practically be a one year old and that.is.crazy! I mean this year FLEW by.<br />
<br />
At 9 months, you weigh 19lbs 6oz and are 28.75in long- almost a pound heavier than Gage at this age and apparently a whole inch longer. I'll believe that one when I see it. In any case, you are full into your 9 month clothes and even can sport a few 12 month outfits. I've just spent another afternoon digging through Gage's old clothes to see what I could find you. It's always fun to go shopping in your own bedroom instead of spending money. At 9 months, E you have 4 teeth and HUGE gap. You are still belly crawling, but are pretty much the fastest belly crawler ever! You are pulling up and were standing in your crib when Daddy when in to get you today. You are eating 3 solid meals a day and 4 bottles/nursings a day. My little baby is growing up. We have just started to introduce to you to some 'table foods'. You chowed down on a cheese quesadilla the other night and loved every bite. I am really trying to give you foods of all kinds at this point to see what you'll eat and am hoping this might mean you won't ever be as picky as Gage. <br />
<br />
Well Ezra, the time has come that I finally get to spend more time with you and your brother! You have one more week of school and then it's the summer time! I cannot wait. I would be lying if I didn't say I was worried how I was going to keep both of you busy, but we'll have to figure it out, won't we? Right now your favorite thing to play with is still whatever Gage is. You love to bang things together and blocks and trucks are your favorite. You love your musical soccer ball and it's crazy how good you can roll it already. You love wooden spoons and bowls and in the bath you take after your brother and go 1st for the drumsticks. You actually aren't a bad little drummer already. Geez- can't wait for 2 drummers in the house! ha...You are now a professional at taking big boy baths and seem to love the water. You have no fear and go from laying down in it to sitting up and back and forth. You seem to love the water so much I couldn't wait to take you to the pool. Crazy enough, the 1st time we even got to go was today.....after in your last letter I said we'd be going that weekend. You actually were not the biggest fan of the pool today and seemed overly unimpressed. It's funny b/c you are such a smiley happy baby and I swear you didn't crack one smile today. You do start swim lessons next week though, so that should be interesting. Another of your favorite pastimes, not toy related, is chasing Ace. God Bless him - you get so excited when you see him- you 'talk' to him and the chase pursues. You always win and have a ball of hair to prove it. We are trying to teach you to pat nicely but to date you most always just grab tufts of hair. Thankfully and crazy enough he doesn't mind.<br />
<br />
My poor Ezra, you have had quite the time with ear infections. The last week of May you had an ear infection over the weekend that I took you to Urgent Care for. You finished your antibiotic and it came back immediately. You stopped eating for a day and Daddy had to get you back in to the dr. They put you on a stronger med that cleared up your ear but screwed up your stomach. You were all but miserable for a whole week. You seem to be sleeping better these days and holy crap, it seems you've learned to nap! At least here at home...I'll take hour naps, trust me. You have been quite the sleepy boy today- perhaps you're growing.<br />
<br />
In the last month, you've been to the dr. just about once a week (thank God for Daddy having enough time to take). You helped Daddy celebrate his 1st Father's Day of 2 and you survived a week of just Mommy taking care of both of you when Daddy was out of town. The next month should be one of lots of 1sts and lots of fun. I'm sure we'll run into our snafus but we'll somehow figure out a routine. I sure hope that you start liking the pool more, Gage had a blast today and I was planning on spending quite a bit of time there this summer. <br />
<br />
Ezra, you are my little firecracker, that's for sure! You are still quite fussy, but sometimes only for your Momma. I think you're a little attached to me;) You don't seem to be as fussy w/ your Daddy and thank God for him, b/c I certainly don't know what to do with you all the time. You have been my little challenge ,but I love you for it and I know you'll help me to be a better Mommy and to figure out how to multi-task like a champ! My hope for you this summer is to be able to give you lots of new experiences and hopefully get a routine down pat. I hope you're a little happier since I'll be home with you all the time. I love you, Ezzy and I'll cherish each of these days with you this summer because I know when I send you back to daycare in the Fall you'll practically be a full fledged toddler! Here's to a summer with my 2 boys! <br />
<br />
Love your Momma<br />

I think I'm already doing a pretty good job at the latter lately, but it's been a while since I took a conscious, purposeful break. Last September, because Ezzy was born and because I was sure there'd be lots to blog about I didn't take my annual break. Then in October and November I was still on maternity leave so I knew I'd have time to blog. Then came Ezzy's 1st Christmas and I couldn't miss documenting that, although I sucked at blogging in December after going back to work. After the beginning of the year, I think I just forgot I had said I was going to take one soon and just kept on blogging when I had the time and then I would remember....so, ladies and gents, this is it, I'm taking a June break this year. More time for me to finish up my school year and get ready for a fun filled summer with my two boys. I'll still do Ezra's 9 month post, any pre scheduled birthday posts and my Project 52 so you'll still get a general idea what's going on with me, I just won't sit down and write out any formal posts again until July. There you have it folks, see you in 31 days! Hope you'll join me back in July!<br />

At this point I'm so far behind that you're gonna get 2 weeks at once.<br />

<br />
This afternoon we were at a cookout of some good friends of ours. Jeff's (the host) sister, Rachel, was there. Gage has probably met her once before but didn't know her name or anything. We played for quite a while, Gage ate dinner and played ball with Daddy. When he decided he was tired, he told me he was going to go in and dream, or pretend to be asleep. He went in the house for a few minutes., then promptly came back out and asked the 1st girl he saw, Rachel, if she would like to snuggle with him.....it was pretty much the funniest thing I've ever heard. I'm sure she was caught a little off guard and I told him that we didn't ask people we didn't know to snuggle with us. He wasn't deterred and asked again a few minutes later. She said she'd love to and they went inside and snuggled under a blanket while he told her all sorts of stories.<br />
<br />
I went in a few minutes later and he was singing to her. I asked if he even knew her name. He said 'No.' I told him that before he asked someone to snuggle with him, he should at least know her name. He proceeded to say 'What is your name?' When she said 'Rachel', he replied, 'You are snuggling with me and my name is Gage!' He looked up at me- very proud of himself. <br />
<br />
So gentlemen, the take away lesson- always ask a girl her name before asking her to snuggle and it is still probably only cute if you're 3. <br />

I wish I had time to catch up on all of the stuff that I should've blogged about. Instead I think I'll just pick up from here.<br />
<br />
I measured my kids' waists tonight. They are the same. 17 inches. That's how fat E is/skinny Gage is. E is wearing the same swim trunks this summer that Gage did the summer before he was 2.<br />
<br />
I hate Windows 8, anyone w/ me? It's already freaked out on me twice during this post.<br />
<br />
It's Memorial Day weekend and it was 55 today...hmm...not very pool like if you ask me. Good thing I have all summer. <br />
<br />
Gage told me he ate 'antelope' yesterday for lunch.<br />
<br />
Gage takes about an hour and a half each night to go to sleep. AND he doesn't nap at home= cranky kid. Any suggestions??<br />
<br />
I wish I had time to workout, but it's kind of advised not to run after dark if you're a girl, unless you run REALLY fast, which I don't. If I did, I probably wouldn't need to work out.<br />
<br />
I have 17 days of work left 'til August.<br />
<br />
I wish I had time to read more.<br />
<br />
I really need someone to help me fix the header on this thing so I can have pictures of both my boys. Can anyone help?<br />
<br />
I used to love my slow cooker. It broke, so I bought a new one. This new one went in the trash Th. pm. after it had burned about its 48th thing. I thought slow cookers weren't supposed to burn things. Anyone have one that's not Crock Pot brand they really love?<br />
<br />
Gage is funny and cracks us up.<br />
<br />
Ezra is a champ at finger foods.<br />
<br />
I like posts like this b/c I can write a bunch of stuff down but it doesn't have to make sense or be cohesive.<br />
<br />
I have a lot of errands to run, which means money to spend. I wish I had more money.<br />
<br />
Gage went bowling for the 1st time this am. I'll post some pics tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Ok, I think that's it for tonight. <br />

<br />
8 months! I can hardly believe it. I feel like I'm missing you grow up. As much as I'm nervous about being home with both you and Gage all summer, I cannot wait to see more of you. It's silly but I feel like I'm missing things with you because I literally see you for about 1.5 hr a day. (I'm pretty sure it was like this with Gage too, I just don't remember very well.) I just can't get any more time with you right now and you need your sleep to be happy worse than I need to play with you, so I'm counting down the next month so that we can spend more time together! Currently, you are a terrible napper at school (hence needing to sleep the entire time you're home during the week) and it's starting to frustrate me. You've been there for 6 months and I can count on one hand how many times you've taken a decent nap. But man, are you a trooper! You are so happy to see Momma when I pick you up and I want so much to play at home at night and you do too, but you just can't stay awake long enough. And I can't be selfish and make you stay up just so we can play.<br />
<br />
Man, this letter has a sorry tone. Sorry about that, little man, just fresh in my head at the moment. Let's talk more about how awesome it is to see you getting stronger, smarter and quicker every day. I feel like you have grown so much in the last month. Let's see- you are now crawling- it just happened one afternoon and you didn't take it slow, you were full force and have been going ever since- even on the beach 3 days after you learned. It's still a belly crawl, but I don't think you're even interested in getting up on your knees since you can get anywhere you want to go at this point. We literally cannot turn our back. You are across the room in a matter of seconds chewing on a cord or trying to steal Gage's toys. It won't be long now...you have tried to pull up on a couple of different things. You haven't quite been successful but I expect it anytime. Speaking of Gage, since you have learned to crawl, you crawl up to him and in his lap trying to take whatever it is that he is playing with. Of course at this point, he doesn't realize you just want to play and doesn't understand why you're pulling at him. But you love your brother so and it's so obvious. I just can't wait 'til you guys have that mutual feeling and can express it.<br />
<br />
You have just started eating 3 meals a day and started finger foods. You're actually not bad and because you like putting things in your mouth so much, it comes natural. With the increase in food, you have started to drink a whole lot less milk. It makes me kind of sad that you're growing up and I'm not sure if this was the case with Gage at this point. He wasn't in school at this age so I have no idea how much he really took in, but at least the liquid that you're getting at school is still coming from me! You weigh around 18lbs, but are growing so quickly out of your clothes. You wear mostly 9 month clothing but seem to be busting out of that some days. Not sure how long you are, but I guess I should check that out pretty soon...don't think I've even measured you outside the doctor's office. You are still an awesome sleeper at night, although in the last month buddy, you've had some rough nights. Poor thing- you had a fever for 4 days at the beginning of the month and slept with us for almost a week. That was followed by an ear infection and it took a good 10 days probably for you to get back in your bed and comfy- but we succeeded and you're happy. In the last few days you've been a little restless because your top two teeth are coming in and they sure do look like they hurt. I'm ready for them to bust through since that's when 'they' say they stop hurting. Just like your brother, you're going to have a big gap, but oh well, it gives you personality! You still love your dinosaur popper the best, but you also like to play in your Exersaucer, door way bouncer, love your crib aquarium soother and will scale the room to get to your tool bench. You also want to play with whatever Gage has. You aren't quite sure how you feel about your Learning House and your dancing donkey yet. This week you did get to take a bath with your brother one night in the big boy tub since Daddy wasn't home and Mommy was trying to get you both in and out quickly. You loved it though and I have a feeling, many more baths together are in your future. Your only consonant sound is still 'g', I'm so curious to know what your 1st word will be.<br />
<br />
In the last month, you have helped me celebrate my 1st Mother's Day as a Mommy for 2 and gone to the beach for the 1st time! You tried to eat the sand of course and took your 1st nap under an umbrella. I can't wait until the next time we get there, you're gonna be a mad man at the end of the summer. Watch out Ocean! You'll get to go swimming for the 1st time this weekend and I hope to put you in swim lessons soon. This month you'll finally get your big boy car seat installed....it's just been so easy to continue to carry you in your bucket. But it's getting to be about that time and I think I need to put it to rest. You still seem to love it though and take the best naps. It does make Mommy's arm hurt though and sometimes even go numb!<br />
<br />
Ezra, I love your fiery personality- you definitely keep Daddy and I on our toes. I love that you love Gage so much and I just can't wait for you to be the best of friends. You are quite the handful sometimes, but a joy more so! I am so fortunate to be able to stay at home with you this summer and watch you grow. I really do have the best of both worlds! I still love cuddling you at night before you go to bed, but unfortunately you're a busy boy these days and don't love it as much as you used to. You prefer to lay down when you're tired and you are usually asleep within a few minutes. I feel like there's so much more to say and to describe you but the thing that sticks out the most is just how happy you are and how good natured. Everyone comments on your big smile and big eyes! Ezra, you are loved so much. I honestly don't know where the last 8 months have gone, but I am looking forward to more. I just wish I had more time to write about you and your brother and to keep these memories forever. I love you my Ezzy Pie!<br />
<br />
Love Your Momma<br />

<br />
I cannot believe that this past Tuesday, my sweet baby turned 3 and a half. I swear you have grown astronomically in the last 6 months. Although you haven't gotten much beefier and still weigh about 28lbs and wear 18 mos. shorts and swim trunks, your jeans and shirts are clearly too short and it's finally proof that you're growing! <br />
<br />
Gagey baby, you are soo soo smart. Again, you'll read this in just about every letter, but I just can't say it enough. I am so so proud of you and Daddy and I know how blessed we truly are to have you in our lives. Shortly after your birthday you learned to write your name and although we haven't practiced as much with you as we want, it is still fairly legible. You love to practice spelling your friends names and ask often how to spell certain words or how to read others. You are awesome at IDing 1st letter sounds and are hardly ever wrong. That's probably one of your favorite parts about preschool. However, your teacher reports you love numbers and like to help everyone with the date each day. She also talks about how hilarious you are and she always has funny stories to share. <br />
You have just recently learned to pee in the potty standing up and are super proud of yourself. It took a year but I'm ok w/ that- any sooner and we would probably have dealt with a lot more messes. We've also taken off the rail on your big boy bed and you have given up Soothie Bear and your Nuk! (You gave up your Nuk months ago to Santa Claus, but it is just another part of you growing up.) You are super clever and very intuitive, you are always watching and know exactly what's going on. You have your moments of sassiness but mainly when you're tired or having a bad day you're super whiny. Overall I'd say you're a pretty darn good listener for your age.<br />
<br />
At 3.5, you wear mostly 2T shirts w/ some 3T mixed in. Only 2T with adjustable waist shorts fit or 18 mos. otherwise, size 7.5 shoe. I'm not quite sure how tall you are, but I guess based on the 1st paragraph, I need to measure you soon. Your very favorite things are still musical instruments and I don't believe there is a day that goes by that you don't play multiple ones. You also LOVE to watch marching bands on YouTube and like to pretend that you're in one on a daily basis. You love Jake and the NeverLand Pirates and can recite tons of episodes. You love your baby brother (and playing with his toys), but hate that he can now move and take toys from you. You are enrolled in two different music classes, one at school and one at Gymboree. We can't wait until you can take some formal lessons of your own. You also still love books and are finding new favorites all the time.<br />
<br />
The last few months have been a little rough on you-there have been lots of changes at daycare and Mommy worries. You have lost a few teachers and friends in the last few months and its taken some getting used to. You seem to take it all in stride although I know it affects you in some way. This has been probably one of the biggest challenges for you in the last 6 months. Some of your favorite friends to play with are Xander, Sawyer and Sam. You love to talk about Charlie and Katherine from school and although you don't see him often, you love Jake as well. In the last few months, you've gotten to hang with your Nana and Grandiddy of course, but also got to see your Uncle B and hang with your Aunt Annie, Uncle Mark and new baby cousin, Sloane. You didn't see much snow this year and only got to play in it once or twice. You did get to go to your 1st Va Tech game with Daddy when you guys went down to the Spring game last month. You've started to give up your naps at home and I can't remember the last time you actually slept (although you have quiet time each day) but you still manage to sleep almost every day at school- probably because you get up so early during the week. You are still the pickiest eater and I've almost given up at begging you. We've been pretty lazy lately and usually just fix you something we know you'll eat during the week. One thing you have tried recently that you've liked are tacos, so at least it's 1 more thing I can make that you'll actually eat. It's just so frustrating that sometimes when I try to make a meal that I think you'll like and you eat none of it.<br />
<br />
It's just a few short weeks away that you'll get to stay at home with Ezra and I for the summer and although it will be challenging, Mommy's really looking forward to that time with you. I feel that it's so brief now and routine. I hope to go swimming, to the beach and to visit Nana and Grandiddy. We're also supposed to be flying to TX to visit your Grandma, Grandpa and cousins this summer. <br />
<br />
Honestly Gage, I love picking you up from school every day and hearing how your day went and what you learned. You are a sponge and you have a passion for learning. I love watching you grow on a daily basis and am so proud of the boy you're becoming. I wish I could take all the credit, but somehow God just made you laid back, easy going, sensitive and smart. I know there are things I'm missing in this letter, but my brain is fried right about now. We love you so much Gage and we always will. I can't wait to see what the next 6 months have in store for us and I can't even imagine you'll turn 4! Always looking forward to what you'll say next. Happy 3.5 years, Gage!<br />
<br />
Love Mommy<br />
<br />

I swear, I just don't have the time or think about taking pics of our every day life, although I know that's what this is all about. I think I have pictures from 4 days and if we hadn't gone to the beach I'm sure it would've been less than that.<br />

So just a little Congrats to Shawn and Ann or their baby girl, Ada June (4/20), Brad and Bonnie on their baby boy, Blaine Chandler (4/22) and Brett and Meg, on their baby boy, Flynn Joseph (4/24). <br />
<br />
We also wish Kellen (4/22) and Sawyer (4/24) very Happy Birthdays turning 2 and 3, respectively! Now I know what everyone does in late July!<br />

<br />
You continue to get bigger and older on me each month. How exactly does that work? Seven months is closer to a year than it isn't. That's just crazy. This letter only comes 2 days late, pretty good, if I do say so myself....ha. Ezra, you are such a happy child. You only get upset when your bottle is done, the milk's not coming fast enough or we sneak veggies in between bites of fruit. You are eating 2 meals a day now- breakfast and dinner- although day care would like to believe you need more solid food, but I'll hold off on that until next month. <br />
<br />
At 7 months Ezra, you weigh about 17 lbs and are quickly outgrowing your 6 month clothes. You are pretty much in all 9 months, although 6 months pants fit you in length. Some of Gage's old pants still fit b/c they're old and stretched out, but your fat belly and booty, I might add, make it difficult for you to wear some 6 month pants. Although you still don't like to nap at school, you take a 9am, noon and 4pm nap here at home. They are short, but consistent. Now, we just have to figure out how to get you to sleep at school. I pick you up at 4pm, you nap until 5pm, you eat b/w 515-530pm and go to bed by 615pm.....I have no time with you during the week and it makes me sad. At least summer is just around the corner. Just this weekend, I can see 2 more teeth sprouting through your gums, funny though, it's your top eye teeth....you'll look quite amusing if they come fully in before the other 2-4 in between. You are officially sleeping through the night and have been since Easter. You eat around 5am before you go to school, then you have bottles at 9am, noon and around 3pm. You eat again after your solid dinner, right before you go to bed and sleep all the way through the night. In the last month, you have mastered sitting and although we still put a Boppy around you if we walk away, you're getting pretty good at sitting on your own and catching yourself if you fall. Lately you enjoy playing with your dinosaur popper and musical turtle. This month you have started taking a bath in your ducky tub and it won't be long until you get to play in the big bathtub with Gage. I tell you, Mommy is counting down the days 'til that, it will make bath nights SO much easier.<br />

You have become quite the giggle box lately and you still love to watch Gage. You are trying your hardest to get where you want to go by inching and rolling. You aren't quite 'mobile' yet, but I have a feeling next month's letter will be much different. You also have one consonant sound....not the normal 'b' or 'd', but 'g'. Perhaps you're trying to say Gage's name. Leave it to my kids for Daddy not to be your 1st word. You still love to sleep in the car and took your 1st ride in the big boy stroller today. I want to get you out in the jogging stroller but the wheels are flat....gotta fix that. Nothing too exciting since your last letter, but in the next month, you'll get to celebrate your 1st Mother's Day and hopefully get to play on the beach for the 1st time. <br />

I'm at a loss, other than to say, we love you so much Ezra and you continue to bring joy into our lives every day. It's awesome to watch yet another one of my kids grow up and both of you change so much each and every week. I'm counting down the weeks until I get to spend the whole summer with both of you! I'm super excited to see what kind of trouble we can get into! We love you so much, Ezra Jude!<br />
