This is all going by way too fast! EIGHT months…

Ez, I cannot put into words how much I love you. You probably won’t get it until you have a son/daughter of your own. You are one of my life’s most precious blessings.

– you LOVE Baby Einstein… you would watch it all day if I would let you.

– you want your mommy allll the time, but you still have never met a stranger.

– You wear 6-12 months / 9 months clothes, but not for much longer!

You are so smart and so sweet… I’m so proud to be your mommy!

These past few months have been a whirlwind. I am so late on posting this! In fact, next week will be time for me to post Ezra’s 8 month update… so better late than never though, right?

Ezra, in your seventh month you seemed to have grown up so much! We spent most of it in the states enjoying Christmas with family.

– Your hair is coming in thicker and thicker!

– the teething has begun

– our flight on the way to america was a nightmare… you were an angel on the one on the way back (I guess because you turned 7 months!)

– you LOVE your new toys.

– We are still strictly nursing

– You are wearing 6-12 months clothes/9 months

– You army crawl everywhere

– You think your Nana is hilarious

– You say Dada and Momma occasionally

Ezzie, you are an absolute joy. I just keep thinking my heart can’t be any fuller and then it just keeps happening. Your dad and I are just completely and totally in love with you 🙂

I took our normal monthly pictures but in the travel I can’t find my camera cord to download my pictures… fortunately the amazing Katie Kubler took some beautiful pictures of my girl while we were home.

6 months… half a year… trying to hold it together for this one!!

Ezzie, your little personality is really starting to show and somehow you’re even sweeter this month than you were last month. We love you more and more everyday.

-You are sitting up by yourself!

– Still no teeth… still LOTS of drool

– You laugh all the time and smile even more

– I push you around in your stroller in the front yard for hours everyday.

– You weight EIGHTEEN pounds

– Half way through this month we had to move you up to your 6-12/9 months clothes.

– We are still strictly nursing

– You LOVE your Daddy. If he’s around you can’t take your eyes off of him.

– You like to sit in the laundry basket and play with your toys (they can’t get away from you so easily there)

– Peek-a-boo is your favorite

– You are GETTING ON AN AIRPLANE TODAY to go HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

We are so excited and so thankful to all of you who have supported us through this journey of trying to make it home for the holidays! We are leaving tonight and will arrive in the States on Thursday evening. I could not be more grateful that Jesus answered my prayer!

Happy half-a-year, Ez! You are such an incredible blessing.
