Dad's Boots

The most adorable thing I have seen in a long time.


A video for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to note the intermittent whining. Whining has become a regular part of our life. I can't wait until Easton can talk instead of whine.

Yogurt and Tub

So I thought it was about time that Easton try to feed himself his yogurt. He actually did very well. It was just adorable to see him with such a messy face since he is normally so clean when he eats.



No bath is complete without a mohawk! Easton LOVES getting a bath. All you have to do is whisper "bath time" and he goes running back to the bathroom and proceeds to bang and cry until he gets let in.

Winter

I just thought that Easton was cute as could be this morning looking out the window in his overalls. He got a kick out of looking at himself in my camera after I took the picture. He amazes me everyday. He is learning so fast and can do new "tricks" all the time. Enjoy the morning winter pictures!

1st Haircut

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's been a long while since I have updated the blog. The usual excuses are in order. Life happens!

Easton has been doing very well. He's a great little walker now and sometimes gets up to a little run. He's finally taking better naps, which makes for very happy parents. Not to mention, he sleeps through the night! That was a big accomplishment for us. He's eating normal table food and we are happy to report that he can take cow's milk now without getting sick. He's desperately trying to say new words. He knows the meaning of a ton of words, it's just saying them that he still has to catch on to.

I wanted to post these pictures of his first haircut. His hair wasn't globally getting long, it was just a few strands that would come down into his eyes. He did very well as Jason held him. I made it quick, but I think it turned out pretty well. He looks like such a little boy!

Reading Books

Lately, Easton has been really into opening up books, pretending to read and point to the pictures. It is adorable! I tried to upload a video, but it didn't work. So, follow click on the picture below and use the password to see some camera videos from the last couple of months. You will need the password "Easton Videos". Click the arrow at the top or click close and click on a the next video. The last video is the one of Easton looking at his book. So precious!

First Steps!

My deepest apologies for being negligent on updating the blog. For some unknown reason, I have decided to sell Tupperware on top of an already busy schedule. Then a couple of brides from last year just made their picture selections for albums. All at the same time!

Now, for what you probably really want to know about...Easton. He is such a good little boy. Naps are still a bit shotty, but I can't complain. He goes to be around 7:30 at night and wakes up at 4/5am for a bottle and then sleeps until 7am. Compared to the first few months, this is a cake walk. He plays all day. He is really into his toys and is so interactive now. He loves to point and explore.

He has a couple of bottom teeth. And you would think by the amount of drool that his top teeth would be here by now. They are taking their sweet time.

A packaging tube recently came in the mail with a delivery. He thinks it is the best thing ever. The view from my end of the tube is precious.

And for the big news, Easton took a few steps yesterday. I was actually sitting on the floor taking the above pictures and Jason came home. Jason sat on the floor. Easton had himself standing, holding onto my knee, and then he just let go and walked to Jason. I just happened to catch it with the camera.
(Not the best picture technically, but you can see Jason's delight.)

Welcome Baby Elizabeth Rose

As usual, it has been a bit crazy around here. The most exciting news is the birth of Easton's new cousin, Elizabeth Rose "Izzy". She was born on July 28th, weighed 8lbs 4oz and 20.5in. She seems so much smaller than Easton was. She is a little smaller than Easton, but I think I have forgotten how small newborns are.

Yesterday, the crew came over and I took some pictures of the new addition. Big sister Autumn is so proud! The other day she came up to me and said, "This is my little sister. Isn't she cute?" It was very sweet.




Easton thought that Izzy was very cute as well. He stared at her for quite some time.


He is becoming such a big boy. The other day when I was filling his tub, I went into his room and got his washcloth while he was in the bathroom. I came back in to find him standing at the tub, watching the water. He must have pulled himself up while I left the room. He crawls around, slowly but surely. It's become a game to see how fast I can babyproof the house. He also has been saying "da-da". It doesn't mean much yet, being that he'll say it at random times and now when he sees his dad. Everyday there is something new that he is doing. He's such a sweetheart.
