Ezra is a great kid while he’s awake. But we wish he would sleep a little more! We are lucky if he gets a stretch of 3 hours at night. When I say ‘we’, I really mean Vero because she’s nice enough to let me sleep so I can work the next day. That will soon change when Vero heads back to work in mid-April and I take care of Ezra. For both of our sanity I hope he starts to sleep through the night by then! For reference, we found notes that Sierra used to sleep a good 5-6 hours when she was five months old.
Other than his sleep patterns, he is a very happy kid these days. He loves eating most foods (although the faces he makes are hilarious for some foods!) and he likes hanging out in his circle of neglect, his jolly jumper and his high chair while we eat supper.
As I type this we are currently in lockdown due to the COVID19 virus. It’s only Day 2 of a three week closure of Sierra’s daycare. Here’s to hoping we find a lot of fun things to do (like update this blog!)
Look at how happy this kid is with food!
I saw this pop up in my notifications and I thought “That is the craziest pairing of two bands I love!”
Tante Andreane helping out
Mid-February and these were the only clean pyjamas we could find!
Playtime with Maman is always fun
This was the first time I strapped Ezra into this and I’m pretty sure it was the last time as he was already too big for it! But it was a good spot for a nap.
Nice day for a walk out near the cemetery
Avocados! Vero chooses a food and then feeds it to him for three days and then switches to another. He seemed to enjoy these.
At the Embrun Community Center for family day
Pretty sure he is in training to be a river dancer
We gave some clothes to our friend who was expecting a baby girl and we got this baby Yoda in return! It’s currently hanging in the car.
Ezra likes playing catch!
Never a dull moment at lunch!
Vero made some balloon animals for the kids
Sierra playing catch with Ezra
It’s really great to see them starting to play together.
Hanging out before some evening television
Look what I can do Ma!
Went to lunch for my good pal Clive’s birthday. Kelly picked up this choice gift for him along the way.
Ezra always loves when Eric comes over for a visit!
Posing for some photos
Our plans to go out to friends fell apart but we had a babysitter lined up so we decided to leave Sierra at home and head out for supper. Vero is a master at multi-tasking; breastfeeding and eating at the same time!
Horsing around in the booth at Eastside Mario’s
While I had fun in Rob’s hot tub, Ezra got to visit with Aunt Jan
Ezra always enjoys seeing Mon’oncle Jon
We went over to Victor’s third birthday party which had a great dinosaur theme
Every kid needs a Spider-Man toy! Word on the street is that he carries that thing around with him everywhere! Good pick Vero!
We can’t tell if he loves or hates chickpeas judging by his reaction!
Would you sell this gentleman a firearm? I had to renew my firearms license and we weren’t sure if they would accept this highly suspect individual.
Fun with Maman!
Not sure if the kid likes apple sauce either judging by his reaction!
Ezra has upgraded to the large backpack! He definitely is getting bigger in the last month as we have had to adjust the jolly jumper height as well.
Ezra definitely enjoys his bathtub
Peek-a-boo!
Hanging out on a Friday night. I also love how my clothes rack is in the background. For historical reference, Ezra was in the process of flip flopping between sleeping in our room and his own room. I got caught with my pants down (or no pants at all!) one morning when I got ready for work and all my work clothes were in his bedroom and I didn’t realize Vero was putting him there overnight! I had to hobble together some clothes lying around with the house. From that point on I moved a lot of my work clothes into the front closet and this clothes rack that sits in our living room. Ah yes, life of a parent is always interesting.
It was a such a beautiful Saturday afternoon that Ezra and I decided to take a walk in the woods while Sierra took a nap. Ezra loves this backpack! Also, it’s springtime so the R2DToque makes an appearance!
It’s great that we have the woods all to ourselves most of the time.
When we got home from our walk Ezra wanted to get some sun.
Having fun in the backyard
I’m not sure if I would want to be in Ezra’s position but he seemed to like it.
Taking Ezra for a spin. This was the first (and possibly last?) time he tried out this sled. It’s interesting how depending on when a child is born, they aren’t big enough for certain activities during the winter.
Sunday afternoons when Sierra naps are always good for a campfire!
When snapping photos of kids, you always stumble upon those ones that become your all-time favourites. This is currently mine. I find it hilarious that I took the photo right when he blinked. He looks like a zen master practicing some yoga! He is starting to crawl backwards at this point.
