9 1/2 months old and walking!

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Zeke took his first steps on Friday. Below is a video taken on Friday. Today he took ten steps! Jimmy and I think it’s so exciting to see him walking on his own! He’s so young to be walking, but he’s pretty coordinated. His birthmom Sam walked at 9 months too. Everyone keeps telling us to watch out because he can get into so much more once he starts walking, but we can’t imagine that it would be any trickier than it is now. He can already crawl very fast and pull up to things. Maybe we’ll understand in a few weeks…

Big appetite

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Zeke has a great appetite! He loves food, and I hope he always does. Here are some fun photos of him climbing into the fridge, raiding the cupboard, and eating a tangerine, peel and all.

Zeke’s favorite picture

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

The other day I walked into our room to see that Zeke had pulled down an early picture of one of Esther and my first dates. He was just sitting on the floor looking at us. Sometimes I wonder if Zeke was watching us from up above during that time. The picture might bring back those memories. You never know.

Esther says he takes the picture down almost every morning.
