Easton had his 15 month check-up yesterday and he was such a good boy! He falls asleep in the car and stays asleep while in the waiting room...perfect! No running around with all the other germy kids. I take him back and he wakes up right on time for the nurse to measure (31 inches) and weigh him. He is now big enough to stand on the scale instead of lay down on it and he acted like we do this everyday. Stepped up and stood still waiting for it to read 23.4 lbs.
We go back to the room and he is acting like the wild man he always is and playing with the trucks until he hears a knock on the door. He picks everything up and puts is away and wants to sit next to me on the big boy chair by himself. For a good 10-15 minutes while the doctor is in the room he is so quiet and patient and sooo observant to what she is doing. When she went to look in his mouth with the light, he actually opened up his mouth for her...and to our surprise we discovered 2 more teeth. That will be 12 total! He turned his head so she cold look in his ears....I was so surprised that my little, well big, boy was being so good.
As soon as she left, he hopped down and started being his crazy self and pulling all the drawers out and rearranging furniture and so forth. That is the Easton that I know!
He did get 2 shots (1 was the flu shot) but he only cried for 30 seconds.
Overall, the Dr said he looked good, sounded good and was growing at the same rate he always has....we must be doing something right! I love that little guy!

It's a...Girl!
Well soon to be at least! A week ago Darrell and I went to our ultrasound to find out that Easton will be the big brother to a sister in the Spring. What are the chances...besides 50/50?
We are so excited and can't wait to see her beautiful pudgy face. Easton will be the best big brother ever...her protector. We are still deciding on a name, so be patient. You will know soon!
Also since it has been awhile, lets update on the visit with Jon, Nicolette and Emmerson. It is always so nice to have them here and spend some time just doing nothing. All right we went to Pumpkinfest in Franklin and went trick-or-treating, dressed the kids up, but just hung out. It was nice to see the cousins interact and it gave us a crash course of what it will be like with another little one around. Easton was very interested in Emmerson and every time she cried or made a noise it alerted him and he wanted to know what was going on. He did try to sit on her a few times, but he just wanted to be close. He would get his face so close to hers and want to touch her. It really was cute!
The toys that he hasn't played with in forever became his new favorites again...because Emmerson wanted to play with them. His bouncy that he hasn't played with months became his new favorite...he doesn't even fit in it anymore, silly boy!
We will be going home for Thanksgiving which we are super excited about. Darrell actually got some time off....thank you! It is so important for us to spend time with our family during the holidays and we cannot wait to see everyone....xoxo!
