ten months

My baby is ten months old. I can't believe it.

The past week he's started standing really well. You

have to set him up.. but he'll stay there for awhile!

He looks like he's mid-fall in these pictures.. but he's just chillin'.

Silly Ezra. Ezra, Auntie Jenna and Mama are going to meet Grandpa Tozz in

California in June for Ezra's Great Grandma Tozz's 90th birthday. I'm SO glad

She gets to meet Ezra! :)

Ezra * Davide * Mann

highlights from a wonderful life

Ezra's nicknames: Bubba, Ez, Buster, Ezzy, Mister, & Bubba boy.

there is nothing better than a happy baby.

i love him so much i could squeeze him to pieces.

it's 77 out, today he had his 1st encounter with sunblock.

recently i thought "i wonder how many times a day I tell him that I love him?"

he's such a goof, i love hearing him laugh.

his little finger got pinched in a toy for the 1st time.

he's got such cute chubby feet.

he would be thrilled to never see another tissue again.

he's very excited his grandpa and then gramma and grandpa are coming out in 2 months.

He's SO SNUGGABLE ..

and HE'S. ALL. MINE!!!!

an ear infection and a new job

Last night was one of the hardest nights we've had with Ezra so far. I'm sure we'll have harder in the future.. and last night was just practice. He had trouble sleeping for more than 30 minutes at a time, and was just screaming and crying most of the night. Until 2:45 when he finally gave up the fight against sleep. I took him into the Doctor this morning and he's got a mild ear infection. Well after our terrible night and seeing our little one in so much pain we really needed something uplifting.. and that's EXACTLY what we got. This morning Tony was offered a position that he interviewed for at a company called Uth Stuph. He'll be doing shipping/receiving in the factory. We're SO excited.. it's great all around.. but the hours are awesome 8-4.. so he'll actually be able to spend some time with us during the evenings. Right now he gets home around 6:30. Anyway, THANK YOU LORD! It really goes to show you 1. God answers prayers. and 2. It is always darkest before the dawn. CONGRATS TONY!!! To see the website for Uth Stuph go to:

runny nose

Ezra's nose is pouring snot. I mean pooouurrring. The poor guy.. get it.. poor. Haha.

OK, moving on. So I came across this image. People... What. THE. Heck.

I know I'm a Mom.. so I'm supposed to be up to date on this sort of thing.

But no, I'm just confused and dumb founded. I guess this falls under the category of .. "things that make you go hmm" .. I would need some in depth instructions on how to work that bad boy before I even THOUGHT about attempting it!! Someone please let me know if I'm totally out of the loop.. or what. But he really is my little champ. He's such a good sport.

Last Thursday actually wasn't bad.. I didn't have any down time, but it was a good day.

Yesterday was such a great day. The sun was shinning, and it was about 70 outside. We went to church, lunch at mom's then went for a long walk through her neighborhood. After we came home we washed both cars, Tony mowed the lawn, and Ezra played outside in his pack and play. It was SO nice and productive. Plus we have such generous neighboors .. yesterday we were given 2 cute beach bags, 9 coffee mugs, 2 belts, 1 picture frame (pottery barn), and a poplar tree to plant in our yard. They would have given more if I let them!! Now I'm going through all of my things because my mom and I are having a garage sale soon. Spring is in the air.
