6 Months Strong...and Growing!

6 months ago today the most perfect, adorable, breath taking, joyful, little man was born! And from the second they placed him on my chest I knew my life would never be the same! He has completely stolen my heart and I have learned the love that so many speak of, the love that you truly do not understand until that moment!

And the totals are in! Ezekiel James is:

28 inches long (90%)

22 lbs 2.5 oz (<95%)

My big boy!

the boys!

Brotherly love!

As you can see we are a pretty awesome sitter these days! We really are loving our jumper! So much to the point that we don't know when its time to call it quits!

He has now done this twice now and I totally love it!

We had a wonderful thanksgiving! We got to host our first holiday in our new home! We had my parents, Darek, Steph, Toby, & Hunny, my uncle Mark, and Steph's dad Dana over for lunch! The meal turned out super yummy! Mike got an infared turkey fryer and it was super delish! After lunch we went for a walk and then came back and took some pics of the babies and puppies!

 For Thanksgiving dinner we went to Mike's cousin's in Roseville and got to see a lot of his family that we haven't seen since this summer at the cabin! It was so fun to see everyone again and show them how much Zeke has grown since then! I totally forgot to take pictures again! Argh!

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving we got our Christmas tree for our Frist Christmas in our new home and Zeke's First Christmas! How special!



I love starting family traditions but I also love carrying on traditions from when we were kids! The picture below is of Mike and Zeke doing a Christmas countdown. This was Mike's when he was a kid, so it is so fun from him to get to do it with Zeke!

A couple months ago Zeke had a new buddy (or potential girlfriend) join the world, Ms. Bianca Bohman! Jenika and I got together a couple of weeks ago and then our whole families got together!Here are the boys with their babes!

Z has been an awesome little shopper! Needless to say we have been spenging a lot of time at the malls to do our Christmas shopping (and for me to just get out of the house)! The whole time he just motorboats or smiles at everyone! He is so fun!

We have also started solids! And boy is he loving them! Here is a video of him eating rice ceral for the first time!

We have  since started on sweet potatos and I am hoping to make some squash and avacado baby food for him soon!

We are looking forward to Ezekiel's first Christmas here in a couple of days! I hope to post shortly after with pictures of all our family time, but we will see how that goes! I hope you all have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and a Happy & Prosperous New Year!
