Pictures from May and June

Here is a quick bunch of pictures from the last month. I am sorry that we didn't get them out quicker, and I am sure I missed some good ones, but here's a sampling. Also: for some reason, they are in reverse chronological order, so check them out from the bottom first...

Rach and I couldn't resist taking this picture (check out the slogan on the box):


Brookline pool party!



Dressed up to be on our way to Rachel's reunion, and then to Papa's 90th birthday party


Here's The Ez with his Uncle G-Force.
This picture doesn't capture at all the fact that Ezra absolutely LOVED Oliver, the cute dog in this one. Sadly, a mishap with the videocamera caused us to lose a wonderful video of Steve and Claire playing fetch with Oliver, while Ezra laughed and laughed. I think it was the best laugh I've ever seen from him. I think we're going to have to get a dog some day...



Learning to "eat":


These next two great pictures were taken by our friend Renee at a brunch on the bay, just before we headed to the airport to fly to the East Coast:

June

June has been a very busy month for us (sorry so long without posts!) and a HUGE month for Ezra. Just three weeks ago, he was only scooting a body length or so back and forth. Now he is full on crawling. It started out as sort of a "worm" or "butterfly" stroke, but now he's got the whole back and forth with his arms down, and is on his knees. This past week at daycare, he also started walking all over the place with the little push toy on wheels. He is just all over the place these days! So today, we did some major childproofing at home:) Also, about two weeks ago, he started babbling. He's broadened his repertoire from vowel sounds to bababaing. He said abba, and I think he even said mama once or twice. He's really enjoying exploring his whole new little world, and it's so fun to watch.
