May your days be Merry and Bright!

How do we delight in Christmas cheer here in Hawaii? Well why not play at the beach? Nothing brings me more joy than watching my little Ezra brighten as he plays and learns. Here we are burying his feet in the sand. Each time, he would allow me to bury his feet, then kick them out from under the sand, and laugh and laugh. What a little joy. He is just overflowing with happiness all the time!

We then played in the waves, Chris, Katie, Grandma, and Liam in the water, and Ezra and I on the sand. We are having a delightful time, making family memories here all together. Hope you enjoy the pics!

My son is amazing!

Ezra loves to mimick everything we do. When I fold laundry, he picks up clothes, shakes them out, and piles them. He loves to have his own bowl and spoon to stir in the kitchen while I am cooking, and the other day, he started doing sit ups with me on his own little towel on the floor. In this video he demostrates his door knocking and opening skills.

First Steps

Ezra is starting to try out walking with assistance! He has already improved his balance a lot since this video was taken last week. We are so proud of him!

More Peekaboo

Uncle Chris can really get Ezra giggling. Here they are at the diner table playing more peekaboo.

Leading the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and his own shadow.

Ezra loves to lead music, and loves his shadow or reflection. He could seriously do this for hours!

My little virtuoso

Ezra is the most amazing 19 mo musician I have ever seen. Here he is playing the uke, while I finger chords and sing.
