Settling In

This is the best smile I've captured yet. Here Ezra hangs in the new toy corner, and you can tell how he feels about that! We are all moved in, and have most of what we need. The lacking elements are kitchen ware. We have one huge pot and one tiny skillet. It makes preparing a can of soup rather daunting. We also don't have any bowls except one baby bowl with the veggie tales guys on the bottom. It works, although aforementioned can of soup makes it pretty brimming. One good thing about not having very many dishes is that you can't have many dirty dishes. The boys have their toys, and that's what's important.



Here he shows off his standing abilities. He can stand without holding on to something for roughly 12 seconds. When I step back and try to encourage him to walk to me and collapses to a crawl and hustles into my arms. We're working on it.



The boys got comfortable in the free chair I scored from the place that sold me my mattress. It's very cushy and wide. The were quite comfortable during this sitting.



Usiah is getting the idea of smiling for cameras.



Ezra's favorite place in the house: the cabinet under the sink. He likes to crawl in there and sit.



The following is a video showing Ezra's new favorite past time: chasing the ball. He can say the word ball now (his first word), and he says it in this really dreamy way. Bah, baaaaaaaah.

Oh my gosh! In that first picture he looks so mature! Like's he's on his way out the door to study anthorpology. What is happening? He's growing up. He's becoming a cute little pre-toddler!

Wow, he is a tough one too! About 40 seconds into the video, he bit it and was hardly phased.

I agree with Raia, he looks mature in that first pic.

Hope all is well on the opposite coast! HwS
