First Few Weeks with Ezra

So apparently I'm on a roll with finding time to write down memories and stories about my little guy, so I am going to run with it.

Ezra's "going home" outfit. We didn't know if he would scratch his face (hence the socks), but it just makes him seem really pathetic...or maybe its the face he's pulling that does that?

One of the first things I realized about this boy is... HE LIKES TO EAT!!!

I for one am grateful I do not have to worry about him staying tiny and scrawny. We did have a spell while in the hospital where he wasn't interested in eating. Since he was born with meconium in the amniotic fluids, some of it got into his little belly. Ezra would spit up this gross brown color and he wasn't even eating anything.
The nurses fixed him all up though by cleaning out his little belly. He's been eating like a champ since.

At his one month Dr. appointment he gained a 2 pounds! He definitely has the Myers appetite!

Family photo after getting home, oh and I  basically look like death warmed over...

I have also learned Ezra is particular about sleeping. He is a side sleeper. I would put him down on his back and he would magically end up on his side. Silly boy! So I always make sure he has bottom arm out to prevent him from rolling all the way over...

Which leads into the second particularity... Ezra doesn't like to be swaddled. Yes, when he's particularly ornery, I burrito him right up, but this boy fidgets and grunts and sometimes screams until his little hands are free.

Just a small fry!

Speaking of hands and arms, this kid loves them! Even from a few weeks old, he is fond of chomping away on them when they are in reach. This love has only gotten greater as he is getting older. Its really funny to see.

My little side sleeper

The first couple of weeks, Ezra has mostly slept, but as he is getting bigger he stays awake longer. His little personality is showing more and more. I think he's a happy guy, but family and visitors might say otherwise :)

Now that's a big yawn for a little guy!

So this is our little guy in his first few weeks. I could definitely bore you with about a thousand more pictures of him, but I won't... at least not tip next time.
