Zeke - 6 1/2 Weeks

Bath Time!
He is actually the first one of our kiddos to enjoy a bath at this young age. I think I figured out that I had the water too cold for the other kiddos - I didn't want to burn them, so I froze them!


Here are some of Zeke's partial smiles. I couldn't capture the full shebang on camera. He has been Mr. Smiles this week - well, for a 6 1/2 week old. He has given us some great smiles. But I think that he reserves his special smiles for the animals on his floor gym. :)

So, it's been QUITE a while since I posted on our blog. Life gets a little crazy with a newborn, as you all know! So, I am doing a quick recap of December and January to the present. I have left out lots of things (like Christmas - it was too overwhelming to figure out which pics to put in). But, I put in a few fun events and it is almost time to feed Zeke, so this will be it for now!
We got quite a bit of snow at the beginning of December and we all had a great time with it. Well, I was busy nursing and resting most of the time, but it sure was pretty!
Lizzy's 5th Birthday!
We laid low since we just had Zeke 12 days earlier. Grandma and Bopa were in town and we had a very nice family celebration!
Lizzy and Jojo decorated the cake. Well, Lizzy decorated the cake and...

Jojo just ate the sprinkles!

The finished product.
Our beautiful birthday girl - 5 years old!


And now we move to Jojo's 2nd Birthday on January 3rd...

The most exciting part - FIRE!

Bye Bye Fire!
