June 23rd is National Pink Day!

Don't forget to celebrate the Pink Thang in your life.

We tried to take family portraits again today (family portraits entail Marty and me sitting on the floor trying to hold a squirmy Ezekiel. One of us - Marty or me - try taking the picture by holding the camera about a foot from our faces and roughly aiming).

Here's the first shot - blurred, out of focus, a little silly:

And, here's the second shot. Ezekiel decided at that moment he NEEDED a kissy:

Aunt Beckie came over today and spent some quality time with Ezekiel. Ezekiel gets quite the kick of Beckie's noises (I'm partial to the dying horse sounds she makes). She also brought him over a little treatie that he enjoyed (I think she is going for the Favorite Aunt title - you better watch it Mandy, Angie, and Feather!)

Ezekiel is becoming increasingly more mobile. If he sees something he wants, he finds a way to get it. The latest thing that he enjoys is if we stand him against the couch so he can just hang out. Sometimes he will just stand there for 15 or more minutes playing (we are never far away in case he loses his balance - as you will be able to tell by how much Marty jumps into the camera on these videos). Ezekiel's Nana says that he is so good at standing up because 'he is fat'...I say it is because he is extremely coordinated and determined. This first video is of him hanging out back to the camera:


Then, we turn him around, hand him a wipey to play with and catch him when he tumbles:
