For this post I will not post pictures because I know how much my mom hates pictures of my kids hurting. Since Ezra started crawling he has been getting crazy bruises. We called the doctor about it and over the phone they decided that he was just a kid getting bruises and that we shouldn't be too concerned about it. Then on Friday I took him in because he has had a tough time getting over this nasty cold that has been going around. While there the doctor notices his bruise and asks what happened... and then I explain this is what I am talking about... horrible bruises with no event that I can think of that would cause them. So then one of my worst days as a parent happened... they had me take him in for blood work... all I can say is horrible. I guess I should also mention Eve was there with me because I thought at most we would be getting something for the cold. We were in there for 45 minutes while they poked and poked and poked Ezra trying to get one of his tiny little veins. Of course they had me holding him down and I was crying and Eve was yelling that Ezra didn't like it and just wanted to go home and take a nap... it was traumatic for all involved. All we know now is that Ezra has a blood clotting disorder and are waiting for more test results before we know where to go next. I dread it... I hate the blood drawing and I will tell you, he is bruised from the middle of his upper arm to the middle of his lower arm on both sides... it isn't pretty!! So now I am just waiting for answers and hoping my baby will be okay.

6 months
So now he is closer to six and a half months... but this picture is a day after he turned six months... I have just been slow about getting the memory card out of the camera and into the computer. He is 16 1/2 pounds and worming around like a pro.

So much love
Sometimes the love just sneaks up on me. I can be going about my day annoyed with Eve for spilling juice for the millionth time or some other thing that is totally expected behavior and she does something that just makes me stop and think I love her... relax and have some fun.
Yesterday it was the morning rush. I am so sick of monitoring her food, can't she just eat her breakfast and that be it? So I had given up and was feeling exasperated with her when I stomped to the shower for my me time while Ezra took his morning nap. Halfway through the shower I hear her opening the bathroom door and I think really? not even a five minute shower to myself? And she just comes in and says "mom this baby alligator really wants to shower with you." And the hilarious thing is it was a beaver bath toy not an alligator and she just dropped it in the tub and left. It was just what I needed. It made me laugh, it made me think about how much I love her... and it put an end to the annoyance with her that had been building all morning.
Today it was nap time. Man can I tell you how much I hate nap time. It has become the worst battle in our house. She is so obviously tired but she doesn't want to sleep. Well by that time I desperately need a break so we have instituted quiet time instead. That went over well for a while and now that is a battle too... I hate it. After our hour battle over quiet time today she sits next to me, brings me this little pink frog and says "Mom, this little frog just wants to be with you." Okay, I get it... she totally thinks I am cool, all of her things want to be with me... I am awesome! Sometimes staying home with the kids feels so much like a job that I really forget just how awesome it is. As you can tell I have really been taking it for granted lately. I blame it on the lack of sleep, really I have no excuse, I should be happy. My three year old is working really hard to remind me how lucky I am.

Loving Creating
I have been having so much fun making things lately. These are pictures of a few things I made in the past month or so. I made the flowers because we caught Eve in her room hanging up "decorations" with lipstick! So we knew it was time to do something to decorate her walls. I guess she feels as much need to make something pretty as I do... can't blame the girl.
