The regularly scheduled wordless Wednesday is interrupted to celebrate 11 months of Noah and Ezra! I cannot believe in just one month they will no longer be babies and welcoming toddlerhood, well at least Ezra will, Noah might not be doing any toddling!
Ezra is now getting in to everything! He loves exploring the house and finding new things to play with. He is figuring out how to open closets, drawers, and take down baby gates. He is also practicing his balance, he is frequently letting go of things to see if he can stand.
Taking out his immobile brother
Noah loves to stand, but refuses to pull-up! I think he is now thinking about crawling, he dove out of my lap the other day into the crawling position, and now when we put him down on his belly he will scoot backwards.
They both now say momma, but only when they are upset. More than one person has heard Ezra say “Tank,” so I guess that is his official first word. Matt heard Noah say “Ezra” the other day when trying to get his brother to play with him!
Ezra now has his first tooth, I would try to get a picture of it, but it is a serious wrestling match just to let me look at it.
Noah claps all the time and I have been working on high-five with him. I’ve also been trying to teach them some baby signs, I need to be a little more consistent and I think they would catch on quickly.
They seem to be self-weaning, they will hardly take bottles during the day, I have tried to get them to drink their formula from sippy cups, but they won’t drink much that way either. The only bottles they drink regularly are before bed, the middle of the night, and their morning bottle (that one they don’t always drink.) I keep trying and they do get a decent amount throughout the day even if it is just 1 ounce at a time.
We are currently dealing with our first stuffy, snotty nose. I know we are very lucky to have made it this long without it, but the boys are driving me nuts! They are very cranky and want to be held constantly and don’t want me to hold them at the same time. It has made for a long couple of days.
