I still love water--our city pool, our baby pool in the backyard, my sprinkler, watering the plants in the garden--any way I can get it!
I helped Mommy make peanut butter cookies to take to my classmates and teachers last week. We made them into coiled snake shapes for my friends. I love to help in the kitchen and to help sweep and help with laundry in any way that I can.

Mommy, Daddy and I went to Mammoth Cave this weekend for Daddy's birthday. We stayed for three days and hiked, toured the cave, rode in a school bus (my first time--I was so excited!!). I am fascinated with tunnels, so the caves were really neat. I was a little under the weather on our trip.
After school on Tuesday I experienced a Febrile seizure which nearly scared Mommy to death, and made me very tired (that, and the five hours we spent in the emergency room). I am fine, and we found out that this type of seizure is common in little guys, and simply a result of a quick increase in body temperature. We are all hoping that I never go through that again!

I am 2 1/2 today! I have been talking up a storm lately and memorizing parts of my favorite books so that I can "read" aloud to myself. I have been able to sing all of my ABCs for several weeks now without missing a beat. I also really enjoy singing Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle, Row, Row, Row your boat, the Itsy Bitsy Spider and Where is Thumbkin. I have been completely potty trained (only wearing diapers at night) for over a month. I am very affectionate and love to give hugs and say "I love you".
We just had our family portraits taken again last week and were very happy with the results. I recently spent a few days with Mammaw and Pops while Mommy was at a conference. I love to spend time with them.

I am loving school. The first two weeks were very challenging because I missed Mommy and Daddy terribly, but the third week I decided that school was a pretty neat place to spend time learning and playing.
I love my teachers and my buddies and the playground (particularly the vat of bubble solution, which I soak myself in daily). I am talking in phrases and sentences regularly. My first recognizable sentence with noun/verb/adjective (and proper verb pluralization) was "Boogers are yucky!". I have developed a keen interest in songs (Mommy sings the alphabet song and a numbers song every morning she takes me to school, as well as "The wheels on the bus", and sometimes "twinkle, twinkle", the "itsy, bitsy spider", or "there was an old woman who swallowed a fly". I still love things with wheels and books.

I had a great birthday this weekend. I enjoyed visiting with lots of friends on Saturday, family on Sunday and close family on Monday. Today Mommy, Daddy and Mammaw Cynthia took me to the waterpark for the City employee's picnic. I love water--I love pools, I love to play in the sprinkler Mammaw Louise and Pops gave me for my birthday, and I love baths. I even like to drink out of the garden hose.
I started school today. My buddy Owen goes to school too, so I think I will like it. Mommy and I have a hard time saying goodbye, but hopefully it will get easier when we both get used to it.

My second birthday is coming up this weekend! It is hard for my family to believe! I am excited and ready for my party with my buddy Owen on Saturday, and a family dinner on Monday.
I recently had a fall that fractured my lower tibia, and had to wear a cast (I picked out a green one) for about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm all better now, and Mommy and Daddy are hoping that was the worst we can expect for some time.
I am stringing words together, many of which declare ownership (Ezra's cheese, Ezra's seat, Mommy's book, Daddy's truck). I have more than 350 words that I understand and use. I am still loving books, trucks, cars, animals, etc.
Mommy, Daddy and I recently visited the Cincinnati Zoo and had a great time. My favorite was the elephant exhibit. I also liked the rhino and sloth.

I've enjoyed three days of creeking the last week--one day with Mommy and Daddy and two days with Pops, Mommy and Uncle Dennis and his grandkids. I love being in the creek and seeing fish and frogs and snakes and bugs. I love throwing (and licking) rocks, and wading.
I've made huge progress on learning my colors. I now know green (my favorite), brown, red, yellow, white, and most of the time blue. I also am occasionally picking out purple. Orange, black and grey are still hard for me to recognize.

I have been growing like crazy, although I don't seem to eat enough to even survive much less prosper! Mommy and Daddy try to feed me healthy, well rounded meals, but I'm a carb man. If it's not sweet or bready, forget about it!
As my body grows, so does my vocabulary. I'm up to 145 words that I use correctly (not just repeating). I am still enjoying reading several times a day (with and without parental assistance--sometimes I just sit on the couch and look at my books alone). My favorite things right now are trucks, tractors, buses and vans. I especially like school buses and the garbage truck.
I finally, a couple months ago, formed an attachment to a stuffed animal. Actually two. I love my Mama Kangaroo and her Joey that Aunt Teresa bought me. I can hardly sleep without them, and often try to feed them what I'm eating.

At home one of my favorite activities is crawling into tight spaces and crying for help to get back out. I now say 'thank you' and 'bubbles' a lot. I am really good at using my spoon, but fingers are just so darn handy! I enjoy hiking with Mommy and Daddy. We recently went to Anglin Falls. I also like seeing farm animals (I saw a Scottish cow, horned sheep and alpacas this weekend).

I enjoyed hunting for Easter eggs for the first time this past weekend. My friends, Owen, Sasha and Susan were there too! I got the hang of it after awhile, and especially enjoyed the bunny-shaped chocolate graham cookies the Easter bunny left. I like to imitate animal sounds, like "moo", "neigh", "baa", "caw"(a crow), "ssss" (snake and cat), "quack quack", etc.
