Ten Months - Ezra

Our Little Man is growing and changing so much!  He has finally figured out how to crawl and is constantly on the move.  He loves to chase Kitty around and always wants to see what Noah and Ava are playing with.  Ezra's eyes are still bright blue and his hair is a light brown or dirty blond (depending on the light).

Ez-Bug loves to play Peek-a-Boo with his hooded towel after bath time and can pull himself up to a stand at our coffee table as well as the bathtub.  He has never been a fan of sleeping and continues to struggle with naps...we consider it a good day if he gets two naps in that are over an hour a piece.  He is sleeping better at night and is only waking up once to eat, usually between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m.

Ezra's two bottom teeth came in one day after another last week. He was quite the grump for a while but is much happier now they have come in. 

Ezra's current stats:

Weight: 22 pounds 0 ounces
Height: 30 inches

Noah's ten month pictures can be found here and Ava's ten month pictures can be found here.

It is getting so much harder to get a good picture with all three kiddos.  Surprisingly, Ezra seems to be the easiest to photograph.  Ava is a little wiggle worm who talks and laughs and giggles constantly and Noah is a goofy kid who is working on his fake smile.

Loads of giggles on that chair.

My little loves!

Eight Months - Ezra

How is this guy eight months old already?  He continues to be a happy, laid back little guy who DEMANDS to be held as much as possible.  I'm afraid that he will be sixteen years old before he learns to crawl because he is rarely on the ground by himself.  

Ezra continues to love to eat but has a definite opinion about what is put in his mouth.  He prefers fruits and absolutely LOVES yogurt.  He is very slowly learning to eat table food but has a hard time picking anything up so therefor prefers purees (so different than Ava at this age).  He still wakes up at least twice a night to nurse (1:00 and 5:00) and Mama is trying to savor this special time with my Little Guy.  

Ezra loves his siblings and squeals and giggles when they come into the room.  He can sit for long periods of time (although he doesn't like to) and will roll around the living room trying to grab things he shouldn't.  

Ezra's current stats are:

Weight: 20 pounds 12 ounces

Height: 29.5 inches

My babies!

Seven Months - Ezra

Six Months - Ezra

Five Months - Ezra

My little Skeeziks is such a happy guy!  He absolutely LOVES to be held and will only tolerate being put down on his play mat or exersaucer for short periods of time.  He is desperately trying to roll from his stomach onto his back during the dreaded tummy time but has yet to be successful.  

When Ezra was born, he had quite a bit of dark hair.  It has all fallen out and dirty-blond hair is currently growing in.  It will be interesting to see how it continues to grow.  Ezra's eyes continue to be bright blue.

Ezra's current stats are:

Weight:  17 pounds 12 ounces

Height:  26 inches

Ezra just loves to stick his tongue out.

All of my babies!

Four Months - Ezra

My little Skeeziks is four months old!!!  He is such a smiley, happy, chill little guy.  He is just starting to get better at tummy time and doesn't scream his head off immediately when you put him on down. I have started back at work and he is doing very well.  After a few days of adjustment, and refusing a bottle, he turned around with quite a bit of help from Daddy.  

Ezra continues to be my biggest baby.  You can check out Noah's four months pictures are here and Ava's four months pictures are here for comparison.

Ezra's current stats are:

Weight: 16 pounds 4 ounces

Height: 26 inches

Three Months - Ezra

Skeeziks is three months old today.  He is a happy little guy who continues to love to be held, hates tummy time, and loves to watch his brother and sister.  His eyes are still blue, although they are lightening up.

Noah's three months pictures are here and Ava's three months pictures are here.

Ezra's stats are:

Weight: 14 pounds 13 ounces

Height: 25 inches

Two Months - Ezra

Our little "Skeeziks" is two months old. He is a chunky little monkey and loves to eat! Ezra is gaining a lot more head and neck control although tummy time is not his favorite!

Ezra's eyes continue to be blue and his hair is straight brown. He has given us a few smiles this past week and loves to look at the toys that are hanging on his playmat.

Noah's two month pictures are here and Ava's two month pictures are here.

Current stats:

Weight: 13 pounds 4 ounces

Height: 24 inches

One Month - Ezra

This little guy is one month old today.  He is a sweet and cuddly little guy (and by cuddly, I mean never wants to be put down) who has been such a joyous addition to our family.  Ezra is a good eater and wakes every three hours (like clockwork) to nurse.  He has brief periods of being awake between feedings and loves looking at lights, the ceiling fan, and his siblings.  

Because of Noah and Ava's allergies to dairy and soy, our fantastic pediatrician suggested that I eliminate those foods while breastfeeding because there is a strong likelihood Ezra will be intolerant of them as well. 

Ezra currently has brown hair and blue eyes.  He has more hair than either Ava or Noah at the same age.

Ezra's current stats are:

Weight: 9 pounds 8 ounces

Height: 20.5 inches

Ava's one month picture and Noah's one month picture.

Both Ava and Noah have been amazing big siblings.  They greet him first thing every morning, always want to know where he is and who is holding him, worry when he cries, and snuggle and kiss him as often as possible.  It just warms my Mama's heart to see the love they have for each other.

Three Children

We attempted to take a picture with the newest member of the Jackson clan.  Noah and Ava just love their little brother and only minimal bribing was required.

They are so sweet!

I just love how much they love Ezra!

Silly kiddos!

While Kc was trying to get the lighting set-up, he used Ava as a test subject.  I love this little ginger!

She can so very sweet

but has a seriously, feisty side!

Sixteen Months - Ava

This girl...oh how I love her so!  She is feisty, silly, active, loud, brave, talkative, determined, and always busy.  She has two speeds...fast and asleep.  She has two volume levels...loud and asleep.  

Ava has quite the extensive vocabulary and talks all the time.  We can understand only about half of what she says but as her consonant and vowel sounds are becoming more clear it's becoming easier.  Some of her words are: Mama, It's Dada, Bu-bu (what she calls Noah), Kitty, Sierra, Nana, Papa, up, eat, milk (which she does not like), water, cookie, cheese, juice, book, ball, car, baby, diaper, shoes, bow, hat, bink (her pacifier), bub-un (belly button), cow, duck, bear, sit, all done, oben (open),  hi, and bye.    

Miss Ava is also so very active.  She rarely sits still and loves to run and climb.  We had such a hard time taking her monthly picture because she refused to sit in the chair.  Little Miss screamed and cried and climbed down every time we put her in the chair...this is the one and only picture Kc got of Ava actually sitting and looking at the camera.  I'm sad we didn't get a picture of all my babies together this month...we'll try again next month.  

She definitely keeps us on our toes!

Ava's current stats are:

Weight: 24 pounds 12 ounces

Height: 34 inches
