ezman: Christmas and What Not

Well, all, I am back from North Carolina after having taken more airplane flights and seen more states than many adults have -- all in 10 months. 5 round trips now. I handle it pretty well. Its cooler when there are other kids on the flight because then I can stare at them. Stare. It freaks some of them out and they cry. I just stare..and smile at them.

Apparently, my progress is growing by leaps and bounds on all fronts. Amazingly I can do more tricks more often, I am growing exponentially. Big word.

For example, you say: "Airplane"
I look up into the sky and point. (There are a lot of airplanes over NYC!)

Did you say point? That's right, y'all, point. Check it:

I love pointing. I point at Mom, I point at Dad, I point at the Wall, at the Window, at my parents' Ketubah on the wall.

I also say "Up" - it is arguably the first word that I "understand" (Wink, wink - that's the 'official' story my parents believe and I'm sticking to it.) Strangly, though, my parents have stopped using words that begin with "sh" and end with "it" and other words begininng with "F" and stuff. Hmmm. I wonder what those mean. I've been babbling for months - I have been doing the "Mamamamamam" and "Dadadadadad" routing for a while and it seems like I am finally figuring out who goes with who.

Oh, yeah, Ezra.

I know who that is.

Ezzie too.

Sometimes I turn and look.

Sometime I just ignore them!

So we were down in Greensboro, NC for Christmas with my Mom's extended clan at my Uncle Brandon's and Aunt Sally's house. This was my first Christmas after celebrating my first Hanukkah at home. I think that's the deal. Hanukkah at home and Christmas with Mom's folks. Cool. I liked it. The tree was beautiful, I just wish I could have pulled it down. The stockings were fun and I would've taken everything from everyone else's stocking if my Dad didn't stop me. Here I am trying to get into the stockings:

Took a nice walk to the First Presbyterian Church and hit up their "Tot" playground. They didn't even know I was there.... Sneaky. It was AWESOME. Got to go on my first slide. I could've done it all day. I wasn't scared at all like I sometimes get.
