A new toy

Ezra is finally old enough to start appreciating stuffed animals, and he certainly loved the very special frog that Aunt Becky made for him.  I gave it to him for the first time yesterday, and he was one happy baby :)

He is growing so fast, he's starting to look more like a little boy and less like a baby. His hair is getting longer, he's more interactive, and he is constantly moving.  I remember Nora always wanted to get to the remote--with Ezra, it's everything in our little entertainment stand--the Wii, the Playstation, the VCR, the speakers--pretty much anything AV, he WANTS IT!

He's been swimming twice in the past 2 weeks.  He's always a bit unsure when he gets into the water, but once he gets the hang of it, he's all about the splashing around.

He also got his first try at the swings, and he was a big fan.  Unfortunately, it's generally too hot now to take him outside much :(  Tucson summers are no fun for babies.

One of our favorite developments has been his new smile.  Although he still does the wide-open mouth "snake" smile, he now has what we call his "toothy grin," when he just wants those 4 teeth to be the front and center of attention.  He's our little Ezra man!
