GO STEELERS!

Easton wanted to show you all his Steeler pride.

TOUCHDOWN STEELERS!!!!


Now it is time to get creative. Jason and I couldn't think of a fitting caption for this picture, so have a stab at it. Leave your best quote for this picture under the comment section of this blog entry.

WINTER

I have cabin fever like you would not believe. So, I got my camera out today and walked around the house today taking pictures of all the snow in its glory. It felt good to get out of the house to get some fresh air, even if it was only for 15 minutes. Needless to say, the dogs LOVE the snow.

The Throacic Winter Babies

I meant to post these pictures a couple weeks ago, closer to when they were actually taken. But, we all know how that goes. So, better later than never.

Everyone look to the left! Good job!


Got hair?


Easton gets his first kiss from Lila! (And so did Ben and Cullen.)


Easton found a warm spot next to Cullen to take a nap.


The thoracic winter babies all lined up!

Bath Time!

In an effort to get Easton to sleep a little longer tonight, Grammie and I gave Easton a bath. He doesn't seem to mind the bath. He doesn't seem to love it either. Here are a couple very cute pictures of him. He's definitely got a healthy dose of baby acne. Here's to hoping that he sleeps a little more tonight!

One Month...(and a few days)

Easton is officially One Month old...(and a few days). Things here are always interesting and changing. I can't say that Easton has any sort of routine yet. Although, I am thankful that at night, even when he does eat every 2 hours, he generally goes right back to sleep.

Easton had his 1 month check-up on Wednesday. Everything was fine, although the pediatrician thought that his heart rate was too fast, his lungs didn't sound quite right, and his abdomen looked a little distended. So, the pediatrician sent us to Children's Hospital. After a battery of blood work and an x-ray, everything was fine. It's just the way Easton is. The pediatrician almost gave us all a heart attack, but we are happy he is fine.

Easton is 11lbs 12oz and 22.5inches. Jason and I thought that his height was a little off being that his feet are so tight at the end of a lot of his clothes. We remeasured him when we got home and got 23inches, which is probably a little more on target.

Well this is going to be an all about Easton entry for now. Jason's Mom, Marsha, is in visiting, so it's back to bed for me!

Cullen and Deer Sheds...both very exciting

Here's Cullen! This little (or should I say big) guy came into the world on January 3rd! We are so happy for Danielle, Mike and Lila. Now Lila is a BIG sister. It is very cute to see Lila giving Cullen kisses. It seems that he is about the only one that she gives kisses to.


There has been a lot of crying going on in the Sicher household lately. The other day, Jason said in despair,"He's about to cry himself into an only child." It was priceless. Before I thought Easton was just cranky, which he probably was, but I now think he is getting a little cold. The poor kid is having a hard time breathing out of his nose and when he cries, he gets this pathetic little cough.


I would like to have some more of this...


Jason was looking out the back window of the house the other day and saw Sadie chewing on a deer shed. (For those of you who don't know, deer shed their antlers every winter and regrow them in the spring.) Jason was so excited that he ran outside in the snow in only his clogs, t-shirt and shorts. The next couple days Jason put on his snow suit and looked around the yard for the other half. Jason didn't find the other side...but the neighbor did! Needless to say, the neighbor was just as excited.

Jason and His Baby

Jason has slipped into the role of fatherhood seamlessly. He is always up for changing his diaper, giving him a bath and doing what he can to help me with feeding him. The first few days after Easton came, I don't know what I would have done without Jason. He was a HUGE help. Here are some of my favorite pictures:


Jason loves the little deer outfit Kyra got for Easton. Easton barely fits in it! But luckly Jason found the exact one in a bigger size on sale at Macy's, so you'll be seeing this get-up again.


He's such a happy little boy.


I LOVE this picture. Easton is such a little deer.


Just now I caught Jason taking a nap with Easton. They look so comfortable.
