2nd Day Without Dad

Today is the second day that Darrell had to go back to work.  He missed us both but knew that he left the baby in good hands.  I had no idea how helpful it was to have him home.  Its the little things that we both miss.  Easton has been a little needy and wants to be held a lot.  We are managing though.  I have learned to many things with just one hand.

Everyday he is growing so big.  He has started to not only smile at us but also to make cooing sounds while doing it.  How adorable!  He is becoming more vocal and is always making noise...even while sleeping.  He does a lot of grunting when we put him down at night.  Not fussy just making noise and trying to fight sleep.  Sleeping always wins and gets the best of him :) During the day when he is not eating or sleeping I really enjoy playing with him.  It makes it tough to know that soon I will have to leave him with someone new while I go back to work.  Mixed emotions about the whole idea.  This has caused the most anxiety and frustration in me since I knew I was pregnant.  We will make it work though....we always do.  We just have to find the right person to care for him and love him just as much as we do.

Easton's First Blog

This is my first official blog!  We just got back from visiting Florida on Friday.  What a long trip that was!  Easton was a trooper and slept majority of the way up and back.  If we didn't run into traffic on the long hauls it would have been completely stress-free.  But who can predict traffic?

It was so nice to see our families and spend time with everyone.  I wish that we had more time to spend down home so we can really see EVERYONE.  It is so tuff to make all the rounds in such a short amount of time.  Both sets of Grandparents were so excited to see Easton and they are so proud.  What a handsome little man he his.  He met his Aunt Becca and Aunt Sarah for the first time as well as Grandpa Don (we haven't figured out what to call them yet).  

Darrell goes back to work on Monday and Easton and I will have time to ourselves and get back to our daily walks.  Boy does he love being outdoors!

I will post a few pictures of our trip and try to keep everyone updated as much as possible.  I imagine this is the easiest way to keep in contact with everyone and keep the family in the loop.

Stay tuned for updates!
