Elliot's little team, the Nedderlands, played their best game Saturday. It was fitting that it was their last game. They beat the opposing team, the Gryphons, coached by a good friend of ours, 7-0. Elliot, in a rare moment of offense when he felt comfortable enough to leave the goal unattended, scored the last goal of the game and the season. Overall, it was lots of fun. 
The Sidewalk Arts Festival was a couple of weekends ago in Savannah. SCAD students draw with chalk on the sidewalks all around Forsyth Park. It's a great event, with lots of food, music, and things for kids to do. Here is Bug enjoying a big blow up slide. And here is the RUF square!
And me, too, honestly. Our pediatrician is dead set on Ezra eating fruits and vegetables along with rice cereal. Ezra is not so hip on it. He fell asleep after this bout with solid food. I'm giving it a rest for another couple of weeks. We'll see how he does after that.
So last fall in anticipation of hopefully receiving a baby, I quit my job as a bookkeeper for a small private school in downtown Savannah. In a terrified and clueless state, I wondered if I could make enough money teaching a few piano lessons to send Elsie to her school two days per week so that she could continue with the friends and teachers she loves.
So Ezra has been trying on some new things lately. Here you see him trying some peas. He's obviously not sure what he thinks of them, though his chewing skills are definitely improving since we started rice cereal a few weeks ago. He has also been trying on his new sheriff costume thanks to Yaya. He looks pretty tough. I think we have passed through the hard part of Ezra's babyhood. Though he still spits up a lot, he seems much happier and smiles a LOT. He has slept through the night 3 out of the last 5 nights, and only really cries when he's hungry or really, really tired. We're just enjoying him. He has starting talking a bit, which is probably the cutest thing ever. He makes all kinds of sweet baby sounds mixed in with great dimples and periodic smiles. I'm getting less and less work done when the other two are gone because I just sit on the couch and talk to the baby!
