Warning: Video may cause dizziness!

Zeke got a walker yesterday and had a little trouble keeping up with it at first but today its all he wants to do! Stand up and walk with the walker...crash into something...grump out of frustration cause he cant go anywhere...I turn him around and he's off again!

Here's a little video of him in action, two actually!





While I was waiting for these videos to upload Ezekiel was eating lunch. I gave him a peg to play with cause he loves them! (??) I figured out if I pegged them on a part of the highchair they fly in the air...he thought it was quite funny!

FUNNY STORY!!

Oh my goodness, this is funny! Kinda gross but funny!

So I give Zeke time with his nappy off every day, he loves crawling around with no nappy on. Yesterday I took his nappy off just before bath time and he was crawling around like a crazy little boy all in the lounge room, his bedroom and the bathroom.

He'd crawl around the corner and come back and crawl around the corner and crawl back laughing and carrying on.

I went into the bathroom to run the bath and I said to Jeremy, "Oh, there's water all over the floor, what's that from?" not even thinking that Zeke has weed all over the floor and Jer replies, "Oh, you know what it is? Ezekiel has weed on the floor."

At that moment Zeke comes crawling into the bathroom as fast as he could possible crawl and he just slides across the bathroom floor on his tummy through all his wee and he's laughing as he did it!

I was like, "Ohhhhhhh.....GROSS!"

I picked him up bt the hands to stand up and he's feet are slipping and sliding EVERYWHERE and he thought it was great.

Lucky it was bathime!!

Mum bought Zeke an Elmo chair today which is just adorable. It giggles and vibrates when you lean on the back of the chair. When Zeke woke up this morning I popped him in it 5 minutes after he got up, which was a bad idea because he kinda got scared of it cause he was half asleep I think. So the whole day he would literally crawl so far around it and just stare at it! By the end of the day though he was actually touching it!

Here's a video of when I first put him in it.

Also, Jer took some pics of him in the bath tonight.

We finally caught a sad face! It's such a sad little face but I couldnt stop laughing when I saw it cause we were finally able to get it on camera! I was out when Jer was bathing him tonight but apparently he kept wanting to stand up in the bath and Jer was telling him off and he kept dropping the bottom lip & Jer got it.

He actually drops the bottom lip way better than in this picture!

He's so cute!

We're back!

Not that we really went anywhere, we were just flat out with our annual 'History Makers' conference last week at church.

Things are all well in Bendigo.

We're just waiting on the 'official' approval with our finance and then nothing else needs to be done until the settlement date which is the 26th of November.
So we'll pack up everything for the last time for a long while which will be very nice.
It'll be a great feeling to be able to call our house 'our own home!'

Ezekiel is well. He's sleeping really well at night. Last week he slept all through the night for 3 nights in a row which was very timely having the conference on. I was able to get lots of rest and a great nights sleep. He's only waking once usually which is great!

Day time naps arent going so great at the moment, he's not great at self settling again so I've had a sleep lady named, Lyn, come over and help with strategies and hints to help him learn to self settle!

Ezekiel is growing at a rapid rate. He's saying so many new sounds and says 'dadda' all the time now. He says 'mum' and 'bubba' too...and the last week I've been working on 'ta' (our version of thanks) which he's picked up really well!

He's getting stronger on his feet...no signs of walking yet but he has been standing up momentarily the last few days. It wont be long.

I've booked Zeke into swimming lessons starting this Friday for 9 weeks at 9:45am for half an hour. I'm so excited about taking him! I'll have to take mum with me to get lots of photos of us in the water!

His favorite thing to do in the bath at the moment is bend over and put his face in the water. He thinks it's so funny along with sticking his mouth under the running tap!

His personality is continuing to develop....he's become little 'Mr. Attitude' the last week. Whenever we take things away from him, tell him off or if he gets frustrated he'll let out this mighty big groan with a really nasty little face. On the weekend he was trying to pick up 2 blocks in one hand and couldnt do it so he screamed and threw them down on the ground!

Oh man, what kinda child do we have on our hands!? he he...

Ezekiel is 10 months on Sunday which means ONE in 2 months! Arhhhh! I can't believe it!

Well I'll leave you with this cute video. Every single day he gets this excited if not more...all over his bath time! =)

Thanks for your patience...


Thanks for waiting. This week has been an incredibly busy week for Mommy and Daddy. They are at the HistoryMakers Conference at church. And its almost over. Then I'll be able to play with Mom and Dad all weekend! When it's over, I'll put more pictures and videos of me on here. I'm incredibly cute. Now you can see how I get all the older girls to pick me up!

Bath Time

Here are some recent photos of Ezekiel in the bath having lots of fun. I think bath time would have to be his favorite part of the day! He loves splashing anyone who dares to come close! =)

FUNNY!

I've never heard Ezekiel laugh so much. We were on the floor yesterday having fun and being silly. All of a sudden he started laughing histerically over something so simple, have a watch! :D

Tired

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.

Squeaky Monkey's

Ezekiel's "Nan-Nan" bought him two monkey's today that squeak when you squeeze them. He was given one when he was born but its been chewed and squeezed so much that it's stopped squeaking and it was his favorite toy. Much to his delight he was given two brand new ones when "nan-nan" babysat him today. He just loves hanging onto toys and crawling around the floor. I couldnt get these monkey's out of his hands today! This is the sound I hear all day long...it's funny!

Cutie

Just updating you with some recent pictures of Ezekiel!

Things here are great. Busy like always. Ezekiel is continuing to grow at a rapid rate. I'm heading away tomorrow to Melbourne for a Children's Ministry Conference and will have TWO NIGHTS WITHOUT EZEKIEL *cries* I dont know how I'll cope...I'm going to miss him SO much but he's in good hands with his grandmother and daddy!

Feeding Time!

Ezekiel likes helping to feed himself and loves to wipe food all over his face with his hands....as a result....well, you can see for yourself! :P

A new funny face!

Zeke has just started pulling this face! It's funny!

Friday, August 03, 2007

We both had the laughs...





We just have so much fun together. The last week has been a blast. Zeke is SO much more interactive now and our days consist of playing with lots and lots of colorful toys. We chase each other around the house. We sing. We dance. We laugh. Lots. If I laugh really hard, he'll laugh too. If I stop, he stops. If I start laughing again he breaks out in histerics. It's quite funny! :D xx

So Adorable

We were driving home from church today and I looked in the back seat and just fell in love even more with Ezekiel! He's just sooo cute and he was looking like such a big boy in his outfit today, so i thought I'd take a couple of pics and post them on here! He really is growing up at a rapid pace! I just LOVE HIM TO BITS :D

Big Blue Eyes

I took these pictures of Ezekiel today. If you look closely you can see his two little bottom teeth. :D

Tuesday, July 24, 2007

Splish Splash he was takin' a bath!

Ezekiel has discovered **SPLASHING** in the bath!! He gets quite excited about it too but in this video I've taken he doesnt show his excitement too much because he's too busy chewing on a bath toy!

By the way, we still dont know how to turn the video clips up the other way...it frustrates me! So you'll just have to turn your heads :)

I've got another one of him pulling himself up too & crawling around. It's a 1 minute clip but will take about 2 hours to upload. I have no idea why cause our internet is pretty quick. I'll upload it by the weekend.

Love yas.

Sleep over with Aunty Dana!

One of Ezekiel's many aunties, Dana, slept over last night and this morning Zeke insisted on being under the blankets with her, so I snapped a couple of pictures! He's favorite thing at the moment is sitting up and putting toys in his mouth and keeping them in there for ages!
He's also figured out this week how to crawl the 'right' way, which we think is very clever of him seeing as he should only be starting to commando crawl when he's 8 months...and he's 7 months and crawling properly already!
I keep telling Jeremy that he's clever like his mum! ha! :P

Our answer to sleepless nights...

TEETH!!!!

Yes...TEETH

Yesterday when my mum was babysitting Ezekiel she actually noticed that his two bottom teeth were just visible.

You can just see them and you definately feel them. It feels too long to be just one tooth so he must be getting two at once.

Poor little guy...he must be in a lot of pain!

Explains the waking in the night with lots of grizzles & crying, so I'm trying to be more paitent with him and just love him rather than get frustrated that he keeps waking so often!

Arh, we still have a whole mouth full to go!

The joys of parenthood right?! he he...

I am very excited he's finally got some teeth though AND he attempted crawling the 'right way' yesterday...he's growing up way too fast!!
