Friday Update #6 (2/8/13)

Ezra helped Daddy shave for church and thought he was so cool. We've been talking a lot this week about boys vs. girls and also the fact that Ezra's not a baby, but a big boy. So to shave like a boy was pretty exciting.

This week we celebrated my sister's 21st birthday a day early, so that everyone (and even her boyfriend's parents) could get together. We watched the Superbowl, Ezra tried on heels and played pool, we ate taco salad and opened presents and had cake and ice cream. Ezra was fascinated with the candles and we lit them and blew them out several times because he got such a kick out of it (and because he's spoiled, apparently?). He very cutely kept saying "happy birthday Foof" too.

Thursday we went on another little family outing. We rode along with Seth to Federal Way and Ezra and I hung out in a sporting goods store while Seth did a few things for a previous customer and then we got "noodles" and teriyaki chicken. Ezra knows his numbers so well now and we spent a lot of our time in the store looking at and saying the numbers on price tags. The only numbers he doesn't consistently say are "6" and "9". And for "10" he says "1"-"o". He's such a smart little kid. We also learned the difference between deer and elk as we looked at all of the taxidermy animals hanging on the walls, which were immensely fascinating.

We've also been cleaning and organizing the house and particularly the green bedroom. We're planning on getting rid of the desk and desktop computer and adding a toddler bed in their stead. Fun, fun, fun!
