Eilers 6: Ezra is FOUR!

My sweet, little, first born, and ONLY baby boy is FOUR! Gosh. It went by so fast! I can't believe that already four years ago, I brought my little bundle (and I mean LITTLE. He was 6 pounds!) home. We were so full of excitement joy, LOVE, fear and nervousness all at the same time. We had no idea what to expect. In a way, I guess you never really know what to expect with each new year and stage. We are loving the age he is at right now. He is so sweet, loving, full of smiles and laughs and such a big helper to me and his sisters. He loves his sisters, but constantly asks why he doesn't have a brother! Ha! He loves being outside playing in the rocks or sand with his trucks, hitting baseballs with brent, playing catch, running bases, doing the zip line, hitting golf balls, swinging ANYTHING sports related.
This year he has learned so many new things. From 3 to 4 is a HUGE year. He went from baby talk to talking about anything and everything and asking "why" constantly. He can pump himself on the swing, swim all by himself, hit the baseball if it's thrown to him, hit a golf ball, catch a ball, write his first and last name, identify some of his letters and numbers, get dressed all by himself (and match). So much. He is constantly wanting to do everything by himself, reminding me how old he is. Oh how I love this boy so much!

Here are some pictures of the last FOUR years!

My grandma came down to celebrate Ezra's birthday with us on Wednesday. We took Ezra to Toys R Us and she let him pick out his present. I thought he was going to go in the store and want Everything. This was NOT the case. We were in Toys R Us for TWO hours!! He had to see everything before he picked a toy. It was so funny. After shopping, we picked up Chick-Fil A and brought it home so we could play with the toys. It was such a fun, special day. Thank you, Grammy! We love you!

We celebrated his birthday this year by going to Fredericksburg for the weekend. We just had Brent's family over to cookout and eat cupcakes and ice cream. Originally, Ezra wanted to go out to Uncle Johnny's house to ride four wheeler's and go fishing, but unfortunately, a lot of Uncle Johnny's catfish died recently. So, we went to Oma and Opa's and had all the Eilers' cousins over. There are 11 cousins total. It was so much fun!!
