Hang Loose Hawaii

Here's a little clip of a very talkative & wriggly little guy!

Especially for Gramps & Grandma!

I took this video on February 5th but have had a hard time uploading it but today I got it!

Needles...Ouch!

Tears were flowing this morning from Ezekiel, his Mum and his Nan-Nan!

I had to take him to get his 8 week immunisation needles this morning, something I wasnt at all looking forward to. Firstly, because I am petrified of needles and knew it was gonna hurt little Ezekiel and secondly, because I didnt want him to scream his head off.

I took my mum with me cause Jeremy was at work and I needed some moral support!

Ezekiel had 2 needles in the right leg and 1 in the left leg.

The first needle was for immunisation against Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis/Polio
The second needle was for immunisation against Hepatitis B (a booster shot)
The third needle was for immunisation against Pneumococcal

When we walked into the place all you could hear was screaming babies! When our number was called and I had to sit Ezekiel on my knee and hold his little leg really firm and that's when the tears started to fill my eyes as I looked at his little face!

I had tears in my eyes cause I knew the scream that was about to come and my mum had tears in her eyes cause I had tears in mine! he he...

Surely enough Ezekiel let out a mighty scream that kept getting louder and louder as each needle went into his leg...we had to wait 15 minutes after the injections just to make sure everything was ok.

He's been a little grumpy today but has been sleeping a lot like they said he would after having them!

I think his father can take him to get the next lot of needles in April! :D

Pictures of a growing little boy...

Here's some recent pictures of Ezekiel! xoxo

Smart!

Hey, just a quick update.

Ezekiel continues to grow at a rapid rate! He's talking a whole heap and smiling a lot. He's neck is much stronger now and he's extremely alert and will respond to familiar voices really well. He's starting to grab on to objects and put them in his mouth. He loves tummy time on the floor and holds his head up great!

The past couple of days he's been drooling like crazy...he soaks his bibs and everyone's shoulder with his lovely saliva! The nurse today said that usually around 12 weeks babies start to produce more saliva and they dont know what to do with it yet so they spit it out!

I took him to get weighed today and he's now 11lb 14oz which is average for his age and his 60cm long which is above average on the charts....and he's a smart little cookie. He's doing everyting a 3 month old would do so he's 4 weeks advanced which the nurse, Marie, was very happy about.

Marie calls him 'her little giant!' She writes up some brief notes on her computer under his records and today she added in there "An extremely gorgeous baby!" he he...she loves him!

Post more pictures soon.

Check out my t-shirt!

Last week we bought a rocker for Ezekiel. He likes being on the floor but for only a short time because he enjoys sitting up and looking around at everything so much more. We had had enough of him sitting on our knee while we were eating tea but now he likes to be in his rocker so he can look around everywhere!

Oh, and don't you just love the t-shirt!? Someone from church bought it for Ezekiel and he loves wearing it! Jer wants to put it on him everyday! ha ha...

Hope you are all well. xoxo

Trying to capture a smile...

Here's a series of photos for you! I was trying to capture a smile...I know everyone loves pics of Ezekiel so I'll post all of them! xoxo

Ezekiel was sitting up at the table last night playing Seafarers with the boys!

Pictures Coming...

We've lost our battery recharger so have had normal batteries in our camera and they have died so we havent taken pics in a while. But I have new batteries now so new pics will be posted soon!

THUMB SUCKER!

Yes, that's right...I've found my thumb! My mum was quite surprised that I could find it seeing as I'm so young, but I'm not silly! I'm pretty good at getting my thumb in my mouth but sometimes it slips out and I can't get it back in there so I get a little frustrated and wake myself up...but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon!



Hmmm...doesn't taste too bad!




I really like smiling but I make it really hard for mum to get a photo of me smiling...this was her attempt! I can do a better job though...




This is my cousin, Justin. It was the first time he held me and I was very well behaved...




This is me just hanging out on the couch...

This is my Uncle Nate...I think he's pretty cool. My favorite thing to do while he's holding me is making noises...and I dont mean noises coming from my mouth! he he...He refuses to change my nappy too, I dont know why??

This is me doing what I do best...being cute!

Like my outfit???

c

This is one of my favorite toys!

Sorry I havent posted photos in ages, hope everyone reading likes these ones!

Our one month old is doing fine...

Yep, hard to believe, but on Sunday, Ezekiel turned one month old...already!

He's doing great. He's just enjoying life, kicking around, smiling...sometimes....and pooping. He does that extremely well.

We left him for the first time on Sunday with Meg's Mom and went to see a movie...although it was good to know he survived being without us, we almost didn't survive without him. But he did great...

well, I don't have any new pictures today, but with Nathan and Justin arriving in a couple days, there should be a few more to post...

Here's a funny one to tide you over though....

A Few More...

Here's a couple more pictures of the amazingly handsome Ezekiel Jaymz! :D

Growing ever so quickly. He's now just over 10 pounds!

Will post some more soon. xoxo

Wow!

My friend Mel came over today and took some photos of Ezekiel & I...here's what she did.


It's amazing!


She's gonna take some of Jer, Zeke & I too very soon.

P.S. You can click on the pic to see it a little bigger.

3 weeks old...

3 weeks has flown by...and I must say that I absolutely LOVE being a mother. Ezekiel brings so much joy to my life...he's amazing. It feels like he's been around way longer than 3 weeks though! Today was our first day together as Jeremy went back to work. We had a great time together! :D

Here are a few recent pics of the little man.

Enjoy. xoxo

Isn't he looking like his Dad more and more everyday? I think so.

We just got out of bed & were having Mum & Zeke cuddles! :D

Safe Baby Handling Tips

How did it get three weeks already?

Looking at the picture on our computer, which is the first picture we took of him, you can see a difference in him already...

Meg and I have a wide assortment of baby books to which we consult and refer to at times...but none has been more helpful than, "Safe Baby Handling Tips" which offers practical and helpful advice to help us out. Let me give you a couple examples of this...

Without these helpful hints, we would be at a loss...

And on a final note, I noticed Canada trounced USA in a shootout to be playing for their third straight gold medal in the World Juniors...GO CANADA!

That is all

An efficient Baby!

Apparently, our little man is an efficient baby! He was weighed on Friday, and now weighs over 4kgs, which is about 9 pounds now...

Just wanted to say Happy New Year for everyone and I hope you have an awesome night! Although I get to see 2007 before most my family....

see ya

Almost two weeks on...

Well, I don't know if this is the sleep deprivation speaking or what, but I'm still infuated with this little bundle of joy. It's funny how quick everything has changed. I used to think nappies (diapers) were the scariest thing but believe me, if all I had to do was nappies, I'd be glad for it.

Being with Ezekiel 24 hours a day, its hard to notice the changes, but Meg thinnks he has grown a bit. His hands and feet and getting bigger, she thinks and his face is getting fuller. It's a good think we've been documenting him with pictures so that you can compare for yourself. Its just amazing how in such a short time, he's already changed from what he was on December 14th, when he came out crying and screaming....well, he still cries and screams...but you know what I mean.

I was talking with Ryan Monson and he thought I was still "twitterpated" or whatever because I just love him so much but then I realised..."is Ryan the benchmark for what I should be feeling. I highly doubt it...

So, two weeks on, I still am over the moon with this little bundle of joy, and all that comes along with him.

Now the fluff is over and here's the reason anybody comes to this blog anyways...the PICTURES!!!!

Always one for the camera!!!


Sure, I can pose for a picture with my aunt Dana. This isn't so bad...

Hang on...aunt Sam? I have HOW MANY aunts and uncles???

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Our little man is a week old!
