We have chosen to not have internet at our house so it's been a little harder as of late to get to updating this blog.
Since the last update we have moved into a house!!! We are beyond thrilled to finally be settled and for Ezekiel to have his own room.
On March 5th, we celebrated Ezekiel's first birthday.
We celebrated with lots of friends and family at our house. Ezekiel was apathetic about the cake, surprisingly! It was the first time I had let him have pure sugar practically so I thought he would be shoving it in. I'm sure a crowd of people staring at him may have thrown him off a little though. We were blessed to have so many people show their support and excitement for our little guy.
His budding personality is coming out more every day. He loves to flip through books, and open and close doors. He has learned how to use his pointer finger to push buttons. Some buttons on a few of his toys turn on music. It's beyond adorable to look over and see him push a button, wait for the music, and then proceed to start clapping along. Not sure where he picked up on clapping with music but it is just too cute.
He stood for the first time the other day at the park. We plopped him on the grass and thought he would just crawl around. Something got in him, and he decided to try his hardest to stand! He got up like he was going to do a bear crawl, but would stay still and try to put his weight on his back legs. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Thankfully I had my camera with me that day and was able to snap this.
Micah decided to help him out a little and got Ezekiel up on his feet. He let go, and there he stood for a few seconds on his own! We couldn't believe it! Ezekiel cried afterwards. I think the sensation freaked him out a little and maybe he wasn't expecting it either!
Since that day he has started to let go of things he was standing on for a few seconds again. I have a feeling not long from now he will be walking running!
