One Month Old!

So, Ezra is one month old (as of yesterday)!!! It's hard to believe!! I emailed some pictures out and my mom responded by saying something about me having "healthy kids." I think that was a nice way of saying I have chubby babies :) A woman at my dr. office the other day said Ezra was a "bruiser" and I have heard several comments about his cheeks. And this is my SMALL baby!!! It is nice to know that he's getting plenty to eat and is growing well :) He was 8lbs, 4 oz at birth (down to 7lbs 9 oz two days later) and at his two week check-up he was 9lbs 6oz!!! He is working on catching up to his big brother (Sean Jr was 9lbs 3 oz at birth and 9lbs 8oz at two weeks). Ezra is a such a sweet baby. He is awake a bit more these days and is starting to smile every so often (he smiles a lot in his sleep, but has actually smiled while looking at us a few times) - it is so adorable! His umbillical cord has yet to fall off - it is a battle of wills, I think :) It is hanging on by a thread :) Someday we will see his belly button. Sean Jr is great with him and makes a cute, high-pitch voice when he talks to him. He likes to hold him (only for a minute or so, then he's done), and kiss him, and turn on the swing for him. It's fun to see our two boys together. And we are so enjoying having daddy home. He goes back to work on Nov 1, and then the real challenge will begin for all of us. Praise God for blessing Sean with such a great job and the opportunity to be home with us for over a month! Here is Ezra and his doggy (we took monthly "froggy" pics when Sean was a baby, so we got this doggy for Ezra).



Also, we took a trip to the pumpkin patch on Monday. Sean Jr wouldn't go on any of the rides or the ponies (although he did it last year), but he did go in the petting zoo. And he had a lot of fun chasing his daddy in and out of the rows of pumpkins :)
