Some of these are posted on Facebook, but I wanted them here too. So if you are bored here are a few adorable videos of the boys.
Atreyu (about 13 months here) was playing a the Children’s hospital while Ezra was in the NICU. He loved those circles. I can’t believe how much he has grown in 8 months.
Dave and Atreyu had great bonding time while I was spending my time with Ezra in the NICU. I am so thankful they had such a good time together.
My little chatter box. He still talks all day long
His laugh still cracks me up
I have no idea where he got those moves
Atreyu’s version of some of his signs. I am amazed at all the words he learns.
Wow I can’t believe summer is over. At the same time I feel like we really enjoyed the summer while it was here. We were outside a lot, swimming, hiking, just enjoying the warm weather.
A couple weeks ago we went over to Sand Lakes and enjoyed the mud. Atreyu had a blast until he got mud in his eyes. What boy wouldn’t love this!
Atreyu grew so much this summer. Every other week it felt like he had a growth spurt. He has been such a helper for me (when he listens). It has been such a blessing having both boys so close.
Last weekend we went up to Mackinaw Island for the day. Enjoyed a Jazz concert and walked around the island. Here is Ezra and I on the ferry ride over. It rained all morning and we were soaked. Thankfully later it dried up so we could walk around.
Atreyu checking out the view of the Mackinaw Bridge out on our walk. Such a beautiful place.
September is full of doctor appointments for Ezra. He just had a urology appointment and his ultrasound said that everything still looks good. We are continuing to keep an eye on his bladder and kidney to make sure they are working well. We have 4 more appointments with different doctors over the next few weeks. Should be fun hanging out in Grand Rapids.
I am still trying to get Ezra used to eating. I tried mixing is oatmeal with different things to help him not gag. It seems that apple juice does the trick. He still doesn’t eat it, but at least he isn’t gagging. Ezra is so different with eating then Atreyu. Atreyu loved (and still loves) food. Ezra shuts his mouth so tight I can hardly get the spoon in his mouth. It’s pretty funny.
Here are some more pictures of summer from Facebook.
