Aria's Room

Micah has a week off from work this week. He took advantage of the time off to help me turn the office into Aria's room. It's been fun preparing for her and its been putting me at ease getting this done much in advance to her due date! I chose a nice soft lilac color for the walls. Micah convinced me to choose a barely pink (almost white) color for the trim. It's very girly and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I plan to add a lot of pink with her crib bumper and other accents. So fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving this year. We went to Sarasota for a few days. Ezekiel got a lot of attention from my parents on this trip! We also had my grandmother over for thanksgiving dinner.

Ezekiel the sous chef

My mom and dad gave him this motorized spider man motorcycle that he played with allllll day

Watching some Thanksgiving Day football

Ezekiel did a great job sleeping on the mattress. I think he enjoyed all the extra room!

IPad!

Micah completely surprised me with an iPad! My sweet hard working husband picked up some freelance work just so that he could buy me something nice for Christmas and my bday. So so sweet. Hopefully I'll be better about blogging now!

Ezekiel reads his ABC book

One of Ezekiel's favorite books to read is his Star Wars ABC book. Our friend, Jamey, gave it to Ezekiel for his 1st birthday. It's a book he tends to pull off the shelf daily, plop on our lap, and request we read it with him. He's had all the letters down for awhile but finally got it on video the other night. And yes, he reads them out of order too :) He likes to point out letters he sees other than in the book too. Like when we're on a walk he'll name the letters in the STOP sign, for example. The teacher in me is very proud of this accomplishment :)

Trick or Treat

This video is of Ezekiel trick or treating for the first time on Halloween! His favorite part seemed to be taking the candy and putting it in his bag.  He seemed to really enjoy it.  He was a trooper and went to quite a few houses that night!

Oh Gosh

I didn't realize how often I said the phrase "oh gosh".  A week ago I didn't even think I said it very often at all.

Today alone Ezekiel probably said "oh gosh" a good 10 times.

Hmmm....

It's cute though, how he chooses when to say it.
Hear daddy cough in the other room? Oh gosh.
Accidentally drop what I was carrying? Oh gosh.
Can't quite reach that book sitting just a little too far from me? Oh gosh.

The little imitator in our son is blossoming...

Hi Daddy

I was trying to make a video for Micah since he's out of town for work right now.
I got Ezekiel to say "hi daddy" :)
