Ezekiel Photo of the Day


Ezekiel had fun pretending to work out with these "barbells". Of course he had to spend most of the time with them in his mouth.

Just Because

Robb found this t-shirt design on Shirt.Woot.

Sabbath School




Well, we gave it a try today. Ezekiel wasn't quite sure what was going on, but seemed to have fun. There was a lot of carrying him around while he was supposedly putting felts on the board or dropping off stuffed animals. He liked the big loud piano right behind us and had fun watching the other little ones.

He was so tuckered out when we got home that after I fed him he fell asleep on the way to his crib.

Butter Waffle Cookies


Seriously people, you have got to try these. Though I would probably try any product that's name started with the word butter, these go above and beyond. How can we get a Trader Joe's in Walla Walla?

Thanks Jesse and Rachel!

Ezekiel is Seven Months Old

Ezekiel made a new friend today. The fact that Steve let him play with his glasses might have had something to do with it.

Apparently Ezekiel loves being outdoors. Robb had some firewood to stack, so put him in his Bumbo on the doorstep. Even though he had toys to play with, he spent the whole time hamming it up instead.

Teeth!

Ezekiel showing off his tough guy outfit.

Well, a tooth at least. This evening Aunt Pat discovered that Ezekiel's first little chomper finally came in. You can't see it in these pictures, but his lower right front tooth has broken through. He can't seem to keep his fingers out of this mouth now.

Fears and Firsts

Bravely approaching the plane.


Ezekiel ponders how he will lick this window.


We took a quick flight out to Palouse Falls this evening. It was the first time in a small plane for Ezekiel and Auntie Nel. They both did great. Only one of them cried and peed their pants. I totally stole that last line from Nelita.

Peek-A-Boo



We've been playing this game with him for a bit, but he finally figured out how to do it himself.

Trying to make friends with that silly cat.



Ezekiel loves a good conversation, even one-sided ones. As long as you make eye contact with him while talking to anyone else, it makes his day.

Reading to Mommy


One of my favorite times of day is right after bath time, when Ezekiel is in his pjs and I read to him. He usually settles in and seems intrigued by the story. But sometimes he spends the whole time lunging for the pages, since he LOVES paper. That is when I get out the his board books so he can read to me.

He is just too precious right after he wakes up from a nap.

Ezekiel's Dedication



This Sabbath we had Ezekiel dedicated at the second service of the University Church. He flirted with the girls in the choir and played with Pastor Troy's lips during the prayer, but was really good. I think his parents were more wigged out by being up there in front of everyone than he was. Thanks to David for taking all the photos!

That's How I Roll



Note the bored expression. Apparently he's been able to do this all along, and just didn't feel like it. Guess it is time to pad the fireplace.

Baby Love



Ezekiel doesn't know that she's already been spoken for.

A Visalia Sabbath

Falling asleep on the way to church.





We enjoyed a wonderful church service in Fresno, then back to the house for two tasty meals. Ezekiel tried French Onion Soup (really, who wouldn't like that!?) and we got to play a long game of Catchphrase.
