Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

So Ezra is crawling, at least that's what we're calling it - really it is more of a rocking/scooting kind of thing. You'd be amazed at how far and how fast he can go on his behind (those cloth diapers apparently give lots of good padding and just the right amount of traction).

He's really funny right now, copying all sort of things we do. Clapping is his favorite. All you have to do is say "Yay!" and he'll start clapping. He's also saying "da, da, da," which is ultra cute of course.

His 9-month check-up stats are: 30" and 20lbs. That's right, thirty (30) inches! Totally off the doctor's charts, while the 20lbs just middle of the road. Chris brought home a sheet of high-calorie foods to feed him. I can honestly say that I never thought skinny kids would be the problem we'd have, but we have two of them. Go figure.

Anyway, here's a video of Ezzy doing his scootin' thing. Do you think Eli still has a bit of jealousy?


And here are some photos of Eli helping me decorate the Christmas tree. He is sooooo excited about Christmas. He told me the other day that Santa is going to bring him a fire truck. Santa will be up in the air and toss the fire truck down and Eli will catch it. Okey-dokey. Maybe we better read the Night Before Christmas again.

Hmmm. How can I get a piece of this action?

That's what I'm talking about!
