Ezekiel & Santa

I've just set up our "All-in-one" Home Office that Jeremy won on the radio this morning so I thought I'd test out the scanner and scan in a photo of Ezekiel & Santa that was taken a few weeks ago at a department store. Zeke was loving Santa when he was in my arms. He was laughing at Santa because he was tickling Zeke with his beard but then when I put him on Santa's knee he became all serious! He didnt cry though!

Christmas Day!

Just a quick post to let you see Zeke playing with some of his new toys on Christmas Day! xx

Merry Christmas!

Well, not yet, but in three hours it will be Christmas. We've set up all of Zeke's presents for the morning. He'll be a spoiled little boy after tomorrow. What with his birthday and Christmas, he'll be wondering why he doesn't get new toys every week after this. It'll be a good day tomorrow with temperatures expecting to hit a comfortable 26 degrees.

We just wanted to wish everyone reading this a merry Christmas. I hope all is well and the eggnog is flowing, because it sure is over here! :)

Jer, Meg and Ezekiel

My Favorite Video Yet

This has to be one of my favorite videos of Ezekiel so far. He is just so much fun at the moment. Enjoy.

Note: Someone left a comment saying that this must be a secret video! I've just watched this video on 6 different computers and its worked everytime. If you cant see it for some strange reason, try double clicking on the video and it'll take you to the you tube website & you can view it there. =)

Videos

I found another website to upload the videos to and then post on the blog. All 4 of them are live on the net now so they should all work.

These first two are from about a week and a half ago when Loz, Zeke & I were playing with bubbles...Zeke had a fly swat which he was using to squash the bubbles! ha ha! This was before he was walking really good.





These were taken the other night at Dads when Zeke was bouncing on the trampoline!





I took this photo of Zeke in his PJ's this morning and then this other one when he woke up from a nap this afternoon. I'd emptied all his toys from this toy storage thing and I put it over him...he loved it and would get mad every time I took it off...got a video coming...ha ha...while i'm loading this video, I just took another one of Zeke laughing and dancing to his favorite song! I'll load that one too!

Fun on the trampoline...

When we were at dads last night Ezekiel had a great time bouncing on the trampoline. My sister, Loz, captured a few photos! =)

Family photo

We had a great time celebrating Christmas with Dad, Kath, Nan & all the kids tonight.

I did my very first men's haircut and cut my sister's boyfriend, Tim's hair! He wouldn't go to a hairdresser so Beck said that it needed to be cut and I ended up doing it...didnt turn out bad at all! ha ha!

Zeke fell asleep in the car on the way home cause he was so exhausted. He was given a big yellow Tonka truck for Christmas and a few other things and we scored some money for Christmas to put towards a new oven in our place cause the one we have now is horrible so we're hoping to get some money together to get one as soon as we can.

We took a family photo tonight and here it is!

the B-I-G party!

It hasnt rained in weeks here in Bendigo and it decides to rain the day of Ezekiel's party. We had to call our friends and cancel lunch and ask them to drop over in the afternoon cause we couldnt fit everyone in the house!

We had my family over for lunch at 12pm...there was lots and lots of noise and people crammed in everywhere to play with Zeke and have lots of fun. My aunty, Leanne and cousin, Laura came up from Paynesville which is about 6 hours SE of bendigo for the party and to catch up with us before Christmas.

We sang happy birthday which we got on video.

Mum did an amazing job with Zeke's cake (as you can see in photos below) which was chocolate cake which Zeke thoroughly enjoyed.

The family ended up leaving at about 2:45pm and then around 25-30 other friends (adults & kids) came over until about 5pm!

Ezekiel was very spoilt & loved the attention. He was showing off to everyone showing them how good he could walk! :P

Zeke was soooooo TIRED by the end of the day. As soon as everyone left he had tea, a long bath, a quick play and fell asleep drinking his bottle!
We hope he sleeps all the way through tonight cause we're exhausted too!

AND we have to do it all over again tomorrow, only not his birthday but we're having Christmas with my dad before they all go off to Queensland for Christmas so its going to be another LONG day tomorrow for us!

Enjoy these photos & videos.

Mum & Loz took more photos that I'll post when I get them.

Happy Birthday Ezekiel Jaymz!

Yes...it's hard to believe one year ago today I was up in Hospital in labour. Zeke wasnt born till 7:18pm today but I just cant believe that we have a one year old son!

He was up at 6:30am this morning playing with his Noah's Ark present that he got from his grandparents in Canada. It's a hit! He loves touching all the soft parts on the animals and he crawls around with one in each hand and one in his mouth!!

We gave him some more animals to go with Noah's Ark & a little green bike!

We put him on it and you should have seen the massive smile on his face as I pushed him around the lounge room...it was very cute. I then proceeded to push him around for another 15 minutes because he loved it so much. Now I'm kinda wondering why on earth I bought it when all my time is going to be taken up pushing him around the house! ha ha!! Oh, it's all fun!

The past year has been amazing! We (I'll speak on behalf of Jeremy) have been so extremely blessed with an amazing son who not only is very healthy but is also truly one of the happiest children we know. He's ALWAYS got a BIG smile on his face and is such a good little boy!!

Ezekiel has just woken up so I have to go but I'll be sure to post lots of picture from today and his big party tomorrow!

xx

.e.z.e.k.i.e.l..w.a.l.k.i.n.g.

As I sit here and write this blog, Ezekiel is laying on the floor next to me on his tummy licking the tiles in the kitchen....just charming! ha ha!

I finally got the videos off our camera and loaded them today. So here are 3 of them.

Ezekiel is way better at walking then he was yesterday, it's amazing!
He's walking everywhere little bits at a time.

Enjoy these other ones too!

Video Trouble

Hi all,

We seem to be having trouble with our camera & computer. We are unable to get videos off our camera, we can't play them on the computer or load them onto any websites...so we wont be posting any video's until we can work it out. Sorry.

First Steps

Ezekiel has taken a few steps in the last couple of days! =)

Last night he was standing up against the couch and then he let go and took 2 steps and then stopped and took another 2 and then fell on the ground!

Jeremy and I were so excited!

I'll try and get it on camera soon although whenever the camera comes out he's not interested in doing anything other than trying to hold, eat or suck on the camera!

Stay tuned...
