We are glad that fall is here! The weather is getting cooler...cool enough for long sleeves, although Ezra's intolerance for sleeves just means that I end up rolling them up pretty early on in the day (see the following pictures). These are just some pictures I've taken over the past few days. Ezra's buddy Aiden and his parents came over for dinner the other night and they had fun playing together and pushing each other on Ezra's Toy Story walker. They were very cute pushing each other back and forth. I love the determination on Aiden's face.
Deer in the headlights? I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of these looks over the years.I love this sweet face.
Being shy.
Blueberries galore
Ezra and Chad reading...and yes, this was the best picture pose I could get from both of them.This baby was so tired after a morning of playing that he kept laying down on the living room floor, and when that wasn't comfortable, he would crawl a few feet and lay down again, I guess trying to find a comfortable spot. It seems like Ezra has been watching more TV lately. Maybe it's because he has learned a new skill...That's the power button that Ezra now turns on and off constantly. I have had to unplug this TV or he would be standing in front of it all day long, turning it on and opening and closing the DVD tray.

Random pictures & video

Sometimes, he just looks like such a little boy...not a baby anymore.
...and sometimes he just looks like an old man. Here, we were at the apple orchard with friends and Ezra was hot and ready to go.Ezra does not like to be constrained. These days, he kicks his leg out of his high chair while he's eating, and today I got lots of strange looks as Ezra refused to sit in the front of the basket facing me at Target. So I tried to strap him in, which I've never had to do before...he just wiggled around and stood up, then freaked out because the strap was still around him. I thought that at least he hadn't started standing up in his high chair yet, and then sure enough, today at dinner, I look over and he is standing up. The other night I put him in pajamas that were long-sleeved and the sleeves bothered him so he pulled half of his shirt off. He's done the same thing with jeans and overalls (pulls at them like he can't stand to be wearing them).
Visibly distraught because his mean mother has strapped him in. (IE Making a scene)Freedom!And here are some random videos I've taken over the last month or so. The first one is kind of long. I started recording it when Ezra was pretending to talk on the phone, which he has started doing lately. So I got a little bit of it, and he did it a little bit, but the rest of the video is boring. So, now you're warned.
