Brusha, brusha, brusha...

So, we have been told by some friends that once babies get teeth, you are supposed to start brushing them. Who knew? We finally purchased a toothbrush for Zeke and had our first brushing experience. He mostly tried to chew the toothbrush, but I think this is mainly to get him used to having them brushed.

We let him have a try at brushing

Hey buddy, you don't have teeth back there yet...

Big boy bath

Zeke got to take a bath with out his bath seat over the weekend. He loved it! It was so fun to see how great he can sit up even in the slippery tub. He didn't even mind when I laid him down to wash his hair. He actually started kicking and trying to squirm all over the place. He looks like such a big boy! We took some video, but they were not internet acceptable once we reviewed them, so here are the cute pictures!

Sitting up so big!

Time for some hair washing

Enjoying the weather

We got to hang out with some great friends and enjoy the great weather over the weekend. I was able to get a few good shots of Zeke with some friends. And some shots of some cornhole action. We had such a great time just hanging out, having great food, and enjoying the beautiful weather!

Ellie wanted to try holding Zeke, too bad he is almost as big as she is...

I love pictures of kids sitting with their backs to the camera...

Caroline is going to be a great babysitter

Z and Isaac were watching cornhole together. Isaac actually moved while eating to sit with Zeke! What a great friend he is!

Look how big my guy is in that chair!

Isaac loved playing with this truck and the cornhole was the perfect ramp

Such a cute cheese!

One of Caroline's many talents...

Girls playing cornhole

Cornhold requires lots of concentration

Look at that cute face!

James found a new way to play cornhole

Formula update

Just wanted to give a quick update. We are up to having two full feedings of formula a day. It has been going really well. Thank you to everyone for your encouragement, prayers, and advice.

Time with friends

We got to hang out with a good friend this week. Abby is pretty much a rockstar mom. Not only does she have two super cute boys that are 13 months apart, but for the past couple of weeks she has been doing the single parent thing while her hubby has been working out of the country. I have loved getting to know her over the past few months and look forward to more fun times with our boys. I didn't get any pictures of her littlest cutie Brayden, but this is Evan and Zeke playing together.

Evan was much more interested in the things he could pull out of my diaper bag.

Yes, I think my son was about to bite him...

Teething Biscuit

I have been searching since Zeke started teething for a teething biscuit that wouldn't break off in huge chunks. All I could find were more like cookies and they were for kids 10 months and older. I finally found one and let Zeke have a taste. He LOVED it!

I realized quickly he needed a bib

Check out those cheeks!

Yes, he even had it on his socks!

Is there something on my face?

It's gooood!

Here's a little video of what Z thought of the experience.

Quick Update

We tried Enfamil today at 11:30. Just 2 oz, but so far it has stayed down. YAY! And I didn't cry while he had it. I did finish up the feeding though because 2 oz isn't enough for that kid. We are going to go slowly, but hopefully this one will work.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words that everyone has been sending our way. We really appreciate the prayers. I have totally felt bathed today in those prayers. So, thanks so much to everyone.
