Time to baby-proof

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Zeke just learned how to open cupboards and drawers. One night he went straight from getting into our dresser, to opening the drawers of my jewelery box, then to our bathroom cupboards. It made me laugh so hard! He’s a busy little fella!

I love how Zeke crawled all the way in to get what he wanted in there

He has even figured out how to open the side doors of my jewelery box

Tonight we are going to put the rest of the safety locks on the cabinets upstairs

Festival of Trees

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Today, Zeke and I went to the Festival of Trees with Grandma Z, Diane (and her 2 youngest boys), and Kirty (and Dallin). I hadn’t been since I was about 11 years old. It was a neat festival! I love that all the proceeds go to help the patients at Primary Children’s Hospital. Zeke was so good, it was during his nap so he was very mellow.

Right when we got there I saw my friend Heidi. She adopted her two boys, Kayden and Collin.

This was my favorite gingerbread creation, I love how they even have the score from last Saturday’s game on the scoreboard

Zeke’s early expressions

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

I have been working on Zeke’s scrapbook, and found a bunch of pictures of different expressions that Zeke made early on. It’s crazy that he’s the same baby, he’s grown up so fast! I love watching him learn new things, every stage has been so fun!

Happy!! We have tons of pictures like this one, Zeke was the best smiler! When I would take the camera out he would smile so big!

Zeke loves to lick and taste everything. His favorites are shiny things, and daddy’s face.

I could go on and on, it’s amazing he’s not sick very often. He must have a strong immune system!

Maybe Zeke is a Ute Fan :(

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Jimmy came down for dinner wearing his BYU hat, (he’s been getting really excited for the big game against the Utes this Saturday). He put his hat on Zeke, and let Zeke play with it while we ate dinner. Right after the blessing on the food, we heard Zeke make a spit-up sound, and we both looked down and saw that he had spit up all over Jimmy’s BYU hat.

Hopefully he didn’t mean anything, right?

Weekend with Dallin

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

We had a good weekend with Dallin at our house. Zeke and Dallin loved following each other around, and doing the same things. They both enjoyed licking the sliding glass door, and stainless steel appliances too. Church was a little tricky, and we ended up leaving 15 minutes early so they could take their naps. My favorite time was when they took a bath together, we did a video, Click here for the video.
