I can't believe ezra will turn 6 months on the 5th of february! It still feels like he was just born yesterday  and I'm just having so much fun getting to know him and his little quirks and seeing him grow and change! We will have his 6 month check up right after we get home so I'll put his updated statuses up then He loves.... - eating frozen fruit out of his mesh feeder it literally keeps him busy for half an hour - rolling all over the place...I will turn around for 5 min to get stuff done and he will be under a chair or a corner somewhere on the opposite side of the room I left him at - sweet potatoe and fennel puree they are his favourite and he makes little happy noises while he is eating them just like his me when I get a treat:) - bath time...he refuses to lay down in the bathtub now and wants to sit up and splash around -being naked and baby massages...this is something we have started while we were here. When I change him into his pj's I massage him wit...

Hey there- we are here in oly WA and enjoying sometime with family and friends. Flying alone with Ezra was great. He was such a little trooper and it helped that the seat next to me was empty so he had some room to play. We arrived tuesday a week ago and then had our appointment at seattle children's on friday. My dear friend karen offered to give us a ride up there so I could entertain ezra which turned out to be a huge blessing since it took us 3 hours to get home in traffic which is normally a 1 hour drive. We arrived there an hour before our appointment and grabbed some lunch really quick. After check in at the hospital I was quite nervous but once the nurse called ezra's name I was just glad to get some answers. We have been worried about his flatspot (plagiocephaly) since birth. The nurse was funny and quirky which made me feel comfortable immediately- yay for awesome nurses!! They took all of ezra's statuses which were 66.71cm/ 26.26 in for his height (44.7%), 9.7...

Tomorrow Ezra and I are leaving for a little adventure. We are flying back home to olympia to visit with family and friends after a month of being here in juneau. Visiting everyone has an alterior motive. On the 23rd of January Ezra has an appointment at seattle children's to get evaluated. They will check if he meets the criteria to wear a helmet that helps with his flat spot (plagiocephaly) that he has had since birth. His flat spot has improved over the last few months but not quite as much as we would have liked it to. Poor little guy got quite banged up during the birth process.  As you can see his head got all red and swollen from a haematoma he got on his head when he was born and he ended up developing some persistent jaundice from it too which prolonged our hospital stay... but seriously aren't those cheeks the cutest? I can't believe how much he has already changed in the last 5 1/2 months! So we will see what they have to say about it and if he will need a ...

Hey there this blog is all about me, my little family and our everyday life! I'm Jasmine and grew up in st. gallen switzerland and lived there until I came here to the US to improve my englisch and met this handsome guy: TJ is my husband of almost 3 years now. He swept me of my feet and whisked me away to live permanently in the states with him, He works as an assistant manager for les schwab tires and is pretty much the most laid back, easy going, goofy, fun person a girl could wish for. A year after we got married this little monster jumped into our life; Meet Balou our pitbull beagle mix. He is turning 3 in March and is just about the most lovey dog I have ever met. He will always be our first baby eventhough this adorable creature  was born on the 5th of august last year and made our life complete for now. Little Ezra made us parents and me a stay-at-home-mommy. He is a blast to be around and for sure gets his goofy personality from his awesome daddy. My life h...
