stripey day

i had to take pictures of zeke's crazy hair. he puts banana all through his hair and i use a cloth to try to wipe it since he was already dressed for the day.

i was scared my camera was broken because of the stripes.

but after i turned it off then on again, it was fine.

a noteworthy event happened yesterday: i discovered that diedre could reach the bathroom sink! when did this happen?? when did she grow?? i do not know!

this morning i woke up to ezekiel's cries. i nursed him. put him back down in his crib and went back to my room. i checked the time: 5.35am. i said "oh, that sucks, its really late." derek said, "isnt that a good thing?" i said, "no. i'd rather it was three or something so i could sleep longer. oh wait! that means ezekiel slept through the night!" derek said, "that's what i meant." and he slept for another 2 hours.

yes, he's almost a year old (nov 25). but this is the best he's ever done! we went out last night, so a babysitter put him to bed around 8.30pm, he slept until 10.30pm for a feed, then didnt wake up until 5.30ish am! wow! i hope he does that again and again and again! just to put this in perspective, he has been feeding as frequently as every two hours, as recently as three weeks ago because of a very bad cold. he started stretching it out to three hours or four in the last week.
