Ez climbing a hill

Walked down to the playground area yesterday. We thought putting Ezekiel in the grass would motivate him to walk. There is an area of grass that has some incline to it that Ezekiel was crawling up.  Once he got up to the top he surprisingly turned and went feet first back down! He will head dive off the couch, but will go feet first down a hill??? Not sure where and how he picked that up but we were impressed!  Once he was back down the hill, he kept going up and down.  This is when we took out our phones and started to record.  Micah got a better video, hopefully he will be able to upload his onto facebook soon!

He knows where his head is!

For MONTHS now I've been trying to teach him names of body parts.  This morning I was changing him, and I did my usual, "Ezekiel, where's your head?" and he actually touched his head! I got so excited that I kept asking him just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.  It's fun to see him pick something up like that.

The original intent of this video was to show you how he can say "ball". Ball and Nana (banana) are two pretty consistent words now. Him saying ball isn't super obvious on this video but I got him to show me where his head is!

Rings on A Peg

Before you watch please see my apologies below

1) This was taken on my phone.  I had my Toddler radio station playing on my phone, and didn't think to turn it off before I started to record.  I can't turn off the music or change the volume while recording.  Wasn't thinking!

2) Ignore my annoying voice, ha. I cheered for him at first since it was so impressive then I kept on doing it because he kept looking back at my every time he got a ring on.  Too cute.

Love that he waves his arms as he cheers for himself.  As he turns to look at me you can also notice his "wings".  His hair sticks out on the sides from time to time, which we call wings.  My hair did the same thing when I was little.

I have no idea if it is completely normal for kids his age to be able to do this, I'm sure it is, I just thought it was pretty cool :)

Stacking Cups

Walking with basket

Ezekiel still hasn't quite grasped either the confidence or motivation to walk on his own yet.  Despite that, he loves to walk behind baskets, especially the big laundry basket.  He was doing this for a good 10 minutes today, just back and forth.  I apologize for the annoying fuzzy sound every once in awhile.  I was near an oscillating fan, and didn't realize it would create that sound on the video.  Also, you can pause the music playing on our blog by pressing the pause button on the player which is at the bottom of this page.

Ez welcoming daddy

Every day when Ezekiel hears Micah unlocking the front door, he makes a scurry to greet his daddy.  Decided to finally get it on video because it's too cute!
