Musings From a Mother's Heart...: Sheepish

I'm back! I'm back! I am embarrassed by how long it's been since I've posted anything adorable or funny about my son. I guess we have been busy... but a good kind of busy. Lots of new babies coming in our world so we've been celebrating with baby showers for our dear friends. I was also able to go on a women's retreat last weekend with my church, which was wonderful! My friends Jen and Heidi (and their husbands) watched Ezekiel while I was gone since Kevan had to work. I know he had a great time, and it was really good for me to relinquish control for a couple days. I am getting better and better about leaving him (I promise!). But he is just so darn fun to be with!

Ezekiel is also keeping us busy these days. He is into EVERYTHING. As exhausting as it can be to keep up with him sometimes, I LOVE this stage and love watching him discover. He can play with things for endless amounts of time, fascinated by the littlest details. One of his favorite discoveries is the lid on our kitchen trash can. If I'm missing anything, the first place I look is the trash because he'll sneak anything he can in there. Today I found 5 baby blocks and a pair of my shoes!

What's really sweet is when he invites you to play with him. He'll come toddling up to us holding out a book and saying "mama?" or "dada?" How could we not read to him? He also loves his hair brushed so he finds his little comb and brings it to us and stands there with the most peaceful look on his face while we comb his hair.

One thing I am sure of about this season of life: I am not missing anything. I am enjoying and savoring every moment with my little family and with our amazing son. I am soaking it in. Life is about to change in just a few short weeks, but we enjoying the sweetness of this moment.

Some fun pictures to bring you up to date (sorry it's taken so long to get you pics of Ezekiel's cute little costume!):
