We have 4 months left as a family of 3, and I want to take it all in. We are excited about Pi's arrival, but we don't want to miss out on the joys of this season of life. Right now Ezzie continues to surprise us with how much he is picking up. It seems like each day brings some new development.
Communication has been a big development. It really goes back to the day I was tired of Ezzie fussing when he wanted more food. At snack time I said "more, please" and signed it. I kept doing this, and showing what the reward would be, until Ezzie finally chose something from the 3 options... "more," "please," or signing. He chose signing. It was worth the battle for him to choose something. I have noticed his fussing when he is hungry has gone down, and he now employs the signing for more than food.
Even since then he has been imitating more words. Even today, his friend Sam was over and he said "yuck," and so did Ezzie (a new word to add to his vocab :))
Just to name a few - last week, Ezzie began dipping his fries in ketchup. He also has been playing differently with other kids. He and his friend Evan are now initiating high-fives on their own and even giving each other hugs. Evan is only a month older than Ezzie.
I have a feeling that Ezzie is going to be a great big brother. Today Titus (who is almost 3 months) was playing in our playyard. Ezzie was playing with him, and even began to lay down and cuddle with him. It was completely adorable!
I am so proud of my son. My heart just feels with joy when I think of him.
Our little Pi is a mover and a shaker. I absolutely love feeling her move around!
Ezzie kind of understand baby... he says "ba-ba." He often will point to my stomach. Sometimes he points to Jon's stomach or my chest. I am not sure what his understanding is exactly :)
Here is a picture to leave you with of Ezzie, Pi and I.
Adorable :)
