Three Months with Ezra

Three Months with Ezra

8.25.2020

These past months with Ezra have brought back so many memories of my first summer as a mom with Jed - ten years ago!  I remember Jed getting fussy around 4PM every day.  So at 4PM every afternoon, I took Jed outside and laid him on a blanket underneath a tree next to our apartment.  Suddenly, he was all smiles!  I've been doing much the same this summer and Fall with Ezra.  He flaps his arms excitedly, grins, and squeals.  Hanging out in the backyard each evening has been so sweet.

This happy little squish (whom is hopelessly attached to his mama, but of course I don't mind a bit) had an eventful month. 

He's getting chubbier by the day.  He now has more rolls and creases than I can count, including some adorable arm creases.

Baby Boy can roll from his tummy to back.  His head is so heavy that all he needs to do is hang it to the side, and whoop, there goes his body too!  Lol.  I had fun watching him repeat his new trick as he figured that out one morning.

Ezra is the world's best sleeper.  He has literally slept through the night -- 11 hours straight -- twice!  More typically, however, I'm up around 4AM ish to nurse him and he goes back to sleep until after 8AM.  Dream Baby!

Ezra belly laughed for the first time!!!  I think my heart exploded.  He tends to especially light up with smiles when Dad talks to him.

He's become more alert.  Ezra is aware of his big brothers and enjoys watching what they're doing.  He even flaps his arms and kicks his legs as if he wants to get in on the fun too!   

We love Baby Ezra so much!

What's been happening around here...

AT HOME:

Overall, we're having fun and doing well!

As a mother, I feel like I'm beginning to get my feet back under me... just in time to start a strange school year. 😜 Adding a fourth child has been simply just that: adding one more -- except it's harder to feed myself actual meals, but that's just the new baby stage. The chaos isn't any worse than it was. And we'd still be dealing the same problems/meltdowns with or without a baby, so bring on the snuggles!
