Update About Life

Things have been CRAZY around here! The weather finally started to warm up...err, it got really hot. I am not complaining though. Easton and I really enjoyed it.

Jason has been running around the yard, planting things like crazy. He got in raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, grapes, asparagus and shallots. He has been quite the gardener. He deserves a break here and there, so he went out on Monday and today to hunt for turkey. He got one with his bow on Monday.


Last week Easton met Duane Rieder. http://www.riederphotography.com/ It is always fun to stop by and see Duane and everyone else that works there.

Also last week, Aunt Katie inadvertently tested out Easton's allergy to regular formula. Yep, it is still kicking strong. I was having a particularly bad day and Katie had told me to go for a walk and take a break. I came back just as Easton was taking the last sip from his bottle and Katie said, "I couldn't find your formula, so I used Hillary's." Needless to say, I went a little crazy. I stuck around for an extra hour or so to see if anything would come of it. I thought I was safe to go home after a little while. Boy, was I wrong. About 20 minutes into the ride, I heard him cough, and I turned around and saw puke spewing from his mouth. This process repeated it self over and over, about 6 times until we got home. It was awful! Once we got home, and I got him into clean clothes, we laid on the couch and he fell asleep. Poor guy. He rebounded quickly though. No damage done.

Easton also spent some quality time with Kyra on Friday and Sunday night. She just watched him for a little bit on Friday while I took some pictures. But on Sunday, he spent his first night away from Jason and I. Kyra watched him all night and then Monday morning. Jason was then able to get some sleep, go turkey hunting and then get back to his yard work. Easton really seemed to enjoy himself. And Kyra's kitten really enjoyed the warm spots Easton would create!

Just a quick pic of Easton today.


My family would enjoy this picture. I used to suck the same two fingers, for way longer than I would like to admit.

4 Months Old

Isn't he just the cutest baby?! He is officially 4 months old. I don't have any stats on him yet. His 4 month appointment isn't until he's actually about 5 months old. So those details will have to wait.

This past month he has started to change so much. His newest trick is trying to flip forward out of the car seat. He doesn't mean to, but he tries to sit up, and if wasn't for the straps, I am sure that he would do a forward flip right out. There is no more sitting on the couch. That leads to headers as well.

He has gotten really good on getting all the way over on his side. Especially during diaper changes or when he is half naked (right about the time I would least like him to do it.) He spends most of the time with his legs straight up in the air, when he is on his back. I am just waiting for the big finale roll over. It's going to take some gusto to get all of his chubba on over.

Easton always has something to say. My parents commented on how much noise he makes. He loves to "talk" and I will often times find him laughing at his toys. It is quite comical.

And baths...I it's like bathing the dogs, in the sense that I think I get wetter than he does. He kicks up both legs and slams them down, making the water go everywhere! He loves it though. He is not fond of the getting out and putting clothes back on part. That generally leads to a fairly cranky evening.


We just got the steam shower delivered. We are redoing the downstairs bathroom, and including a steam shower. Jason is very excited about it. This is him trying it out, in the box, in the garage.

Bath Time! (again)

Jason gave Easton a bath today. I thought I would share some pictures with you. I think he is turning into the most handsome little man.

It is amazing how much he changes everyday! Now when we put him in his exersaucer, he spins the wheels like a mad-man right away and then keeps it up for quite sometime. It is so much fun to watch him grow!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!


This Easter I had to work night shifts, so I was out of commission. Easton's Grandma Marsha and Aunt Chelsea came in for the weekend. They had lots of fun entertaining Easton, and Easton loves the attention! Jason did make an early dinner on Sunday, so we were able to sneak in a nice dinner before I had to go to work.

A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder) Chair

Uncle John once coined this chair the ADD Chair due to the over-crowding of over-stimulating toys. But, Easton LOVES it! Just look at him spin the plastic wheels. The look of concentration is priceless. I think he takes after his Daddy! Now, if I could only get him to take more than a 45 minute nap during the day, we would be set!
