Ezekiel's sleeping patterns have been horrible the last almost 2 weeks now.
He's teething & I believe he's going through a little separation anxiety with me. Whenever he goes to someone now (sometimes even including his Dad) he watches me like a hawk, drops the bottom lips and start sooking or crying. When I walk away then he's sure to cry. Mum was over the other day and she was holding him, I just walked around the corner in the house and he started crying cause he couldnt see me.
I dont know what else is up with him but he's waking between 2 - 6 times a night just crying. Most of the time he's just looking for a little reassurance and a bit of a pat on the bottom and he's back asleep. But most often than not at the moment when Jer gets up to get him he starts crying and carrying on even more, not just a little, A LOT so mum comes to the rescue and he stops the minute I have him in my arms!
It's lovely and all that he loves me so much but it's so exhausting getting up so much so many nights in a row!
I'm praying like crazy its just another phase he's going through. Well actually I know its a phase but pray it doesnt continue on for much longer!! =)
Mum had him today when I was at work and he slept 45 minutes for her the whole day, needless to say he was extremely grumpy tonight and difficult to put to sleep because he was that overtired!
I've been a bit of a slacker and havent taken many photos lately, so I'll get to it and post some shortly.
Putting the sleeping problems aside...he's continuing to grow quickly and is nine months next week!! He's walking the furniture and getting more and more cheeky as the days pass. He's been laughing lots lately which is just delightful!
Hope everyone who's reading is well!
I'll post more pics soon.

Don't worry Meg, Zeke is right on schedule for seperation anxiety. Holly would be jealous if you didn't have to go through that too! I'll pray with you on this one since it can be exhausting.
Hi sleepless in Australia!
Your baby is very clever--he can express his opinion without saying a word! This too shall pass and he'll be learning something new next week!
Being a new Mom can be testing sometimes!
Love you, Grandma Dyck
Hang in there, Aussie family. Take it easy on yourself during the day if you can. How well I remember! I thought I might lose my sanity when Chyenne went through it, no one but Mom would do at whatever hour of the night/morning it was. I remember feeling a little thinly stretched. Now the girls are teens, and sometimes I wish I could solve their troubles with a hug from Mom. A day will come when your little one doesn't need you quite so desperately. Easy to say from this side! Love you all, hugs all around from Great Aunt Heather and the Traubles xoxoxo
