new picture

Last night was a great night. Frank and Rhianna came over for dinner with their two little ones. Gwen is such a little bitsy angel and Little Frankie is anything but little - he is a bruiser! He is 6 weeks older than Ezekiel, so it was hilarious to put them side by side. They looked like two little brutes (or two little weebles laying side by side). He is a little charmer though - and he is sitting up (on his own) and pulling himself into a standing position - at 4.5 months old!!! I hope E. can do all of that at such an early age.

We bought Ezekiel a Bumbo chair so he can practice sitting up. He is simply hilarious in it. He sits there like he thinks it is his recliner and bobs his head around, smiling. Here he is, he looks a bit silly but it was the only picture we got of him in his Bumbo:



We went to Ezekiel's pediatritian last week for E's two month appointment. He weighs 15.85 lbs (97th %) and is 24.5 inches tall (97th %). He had his FOUR shots and he was a little trooper (but more composed than either me or his Daddy). We talked with Dr. Tony about how Ezekiel eats SO much (and I have to pump EVERYTHING, so it is getting a little rough). Dr. Tony asked a bunch of questions (like, does he open his mouth when you are eating and try to get your food? can he hold his neck up on his own, etc etc). After the question session and explaining to us about Ezekiel's size so he needs more food, Dr. Tony told us that E. is ready for food! Like, for real....not in his bottle (which we had a problem with anyway). He wanted us to start him on rice cereal in a bowl with a spoon. So, we listened and started it. The very first night, Ezekiel opened his mouth wide after like the third spoonful. He "got" it. He loves his food like his daddy loves his food! It was so awesome, but so sad too. We both cried watching our little tyke open his mouth wide for the spoon. He has nights when he doesn't want anything to do with the cereal, he only wants his bottle and that is ok with me. He is only 11 weeks old, after all. Next, we will try Rice Cereal with Banana.

Tonight, he is a little cranky. Here is a pic of him tonight in his pjs though:



This is another of him tonight in hs pjs. Yep, different pjs. This was before the poop-pant-mishap of 2007. You will notice the big smile; he knew what was coming....



I am so in love with this kid. It is crazy.
