Our best direct video evidence of Ezri’s amazing new skills.

Some more videos, by request.  We’ve been trying to get a good video of Ezri walking (did we mention that she’s walking independently?), but we haven’t been able to get any really good video of it yet.  But, to tide Ezri’s fans over, here are a few clips of day to day activities:

Ezri and her ‘meow book’

It’s storytime day for Ezri. It’s also the day for the announcement of the annual winner of the Caldecott medal for children’s book illustration.
Congratulations, Jerry Pinkney! The Lion and The Mouse which won the award for illustration is a beautiful book.

At the library. . .

It’s taken us awhile to get the pipeline figured out, but we now are able to move videos from our camera to the world at large.  Witness Ezri walking with her Radio Flyer walker!

Mike and Erin visited and taught Ezri a whole new game – passing objects.  Sushi also really appreciated the laptime.  It’s great to have friends who entertain Ezri.  She was delighted with the attention.  Eric and I liked catching up with the doctor and the professor.  I am always reminded on evenings like this one that my friends are super cool.

This is Ezri’s first bath, almost a year ago.

This is a bath photo from this week taken by Grandma Liz.
11 months changes much for our baby girl.

While we love Ezri’s name, we do call her by other monikers.
When we chose Ezri, we liked that it was hard to shorten into a nickname.

However, this has not stopped us from calling her other names.  Many of them are rather embarrassing.  So, we should definitely list them lest we forget.

1. Ezri B. Burrito – This one is from when she was very small and swaddled up burrito-style in a receiving blanket.
2. Bina – This one is yiddish for bee and from her Aunt Amy.  There’s a character named Bina in The Yiddish Policeman’s Union which is where I’d heard it.
3. Moopster – A very tiny Charlotte Q. pointed at Ezri’s face and said an emphatic “moop” which meant mouth. And I thought, yep, she’s my moopster.
4. The Moop – shortened Moopster
5. Ezzeroni Pizza – There was a joke that Ezri was made of pizza and ice cream while in utero.
6. Ezri Bean – We’ve known her since she was just bean sized.
7. Rootin’ Tootin’ Ezri – She used to root for a nipple and she tooted sometimes too.
8. Scootin’ Tootin’ Ezri – She stopped rooting and started scooting. She still tooted.
9. Ezri Bee
10. The Baby Girl – in conversation to each other Eric and I will talk about the baby girl. She gets called “baby girl” or “the baby girl” often enough for it to count as a nickname.
11. Lil’ Miss Rumble Pants – I picked up “rumbling pants” as a phrase from the Quigleys add Lil’ Miss and it becomes a nickname.
12. Little e – Eric is the Big E in our family and Ezri is the little e. They share the same initials E.B.B. and e.b.b. respectively.
13. My Sunshine – I sing her you are my sunshine a lot.

And in the photo here I think I would call her Carrot Top.

Ezri now has the complete indestructible book collection.
Thanks, Aunt Coral, for the surprise package.
She likes the firefly page especially and her mom’s owl hooting while looking at the owl page is also appreciated.
