Three months old

Ezra turned 3 months old on the thirteenth. and its been so busy around here I forgot to mention it. This is my favorite festive picture of him.He is fun when he is awake too!
He coos and gurgles if you look him in the eye. and he is pretty easy to make smile.
He seems to have gotten over his 7 o'clock fussy time
He likes to be swaddled all snuggly tight to fall asleep. and if you put a little bit of the blanket touching his face he is out pretty quick.
He will take a passifier and likes to chew on his fingers. He drools a lot. He was taking a bottle pretty well until this week:(
He wakes up about twice a night still. It just depends on the night. He still has thrush which has resulted in some hilarious purple faces.(you know that icky medicine)
He likes applesauce;) and Lynda because she gives him applesauce.
and He weighs about 19 lbs!
We are thankful he chose us. Happy tres meses Ezra

Power tool pumpkin

I followed the pumpkin lines with a potato peeler and then used Craig's power tool for the holes. Came out alright.

Haloweenie

Ezra was also a hot dog... an ornery one!
This costume did not last very long on him. He was in a bad moodI was the mustard bottle.
Ezra and I stayed home and passed out candy. It was totally awesome to have a house to pass candy out at! I loved it.

Our Little UPS man and the crazy Alazkan fisherman went

and raided the neighborhoodRowdy would totally change his voice to a charming higher pitched, big eyed puppy dog kind of voice when he would say "trick or treat". Cody would also hold his box in between houses and when they would get close to the next house he would say, "I need a box Daddy". He had such a good time. Our nighborhood was really fun too. A bunch of houses went all out. There was one house though that had a strobe light and Rowdy didn't like that. But on the homefront we had Frito soup and candy for dinner and ended the night by playing the wii and watching Nanny McPhee. This could very well be Rowdy's favorite holiday

and Rowdy is back to using the potty! because I am dispersing his candy one toilet trip at a time!

The S is for...

The S is for spit up.
The U is for Unique
The P is for Pee, yeah you know that I can drink.
The E is for Ezra, you all know I'm the man
and the R is for Rowdy, he is my biggest fan

How cute is this boy?! and the best part is we did not manipulate his pose at all! He totally fell asleep in the classic superman stance and his cape was made out of that soft fleece stuff and stuck to the couch!

The preparation

Rowdy had a good ole' time coloring his pumpkin. While his Dad made a beautiful pumpkin by scraping away at the grooves then using a power tool to drill small holes all over. It came out really neat, but not in any of our photos.Ta DA!The Carmacks came over too and joined in the fun
