Laughing Stock

Ezra likes to chuckle and laugh. Here's a mini video of him smiling and chuckling. It's not his biggest smiles, but still he's pretty happy.

He's quite the opposite of Ava. At 3 months he's wearing 6 month clothes, and I think at 6 months Ava was wearing 3 month clothes. He's a really sweet baby and we feel very blessed to have him. Ava loves to give him hugs and kisses too.
And here's one of Ezra in the stroller (wearing a pumpkin hat) smiling a really big smile.

Bubble, Bubble, Foam and Trouble


Last weekend Ryan still had a foam making machine in the truck from some events they've been putting on. So we decided to bring it out and let the kids have some fun. First we let Ava play in the morning (she loves bubbles when bathing or doing dishes, so we knew this would be a hit with her). Then we took it to Grandma's house in the evening and covered the trampoline with bubbles. They had a blast (despite the moment of whining in the video).



In other note-worthy news, Ava's food of the week is broccoli! She is loving it (and so am I)! We call it "baby broccoli" because it is "baby trees" and lots of fun to eat.

Ezra's 3-Month Report

Weight: 14.4 lbs (75th %)   Height: 25.4 inches (95th %)

He smiles and coos and sleeps well. He does have some acid reflux and has been spitting up a lot lately, but he's still a sweetheart. I just have to do laundry twice a week. He has started drooling a lot lately too—I think teeth are coming. His cheeks are oh-so-kissable!

I just love the little (big) guy! He's such a sweet baby, and very much a mama's boy. 
He has some red splotchiness around his eyes and forehead, so we are working on figuring out what that is all about. First we will try Benadryl (doctor's instructions) to determine if it's an allergy to something. If that helps, then we'll work on figuring out what the allergy is. If that does nothing, we will try an eczema medication, but I don't think it's eczema.
