And so we begin...

As we begin the new year we also have a growing little boy. For the first time, I was feeding Easton and he did not want to eat. It took me some time to figure out why but I have to admit I was in a little bit of denial. He wanted to hold his own bottle and not have some one do it for him. It took Darrell making the bottle for him and me feeding him to accept the fact that he slowly is becoming more independent. I am not ready for this...he is only 4 1/2 months! But after him taking the whole bottle and then a nap, I just accepted it and moved on.

Year End

And as the year comes to an end I have to say that it has been an eventful 2008. No complaints here. We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary, 1st anniversary with a new house, my first new car, a new cousin, Luka, and last but certainly not least the birth of Easton in August.

I have to say that it has been a crazy year but both Darrell and I are very excited to see what 2009 has to offer. We are expecting 2 new cousins in the spring and many trips to FL to visit family. That is one thing that we wish we could change....being closer to family! Soon hopefully!

As we all ring in the New Year, we wish you a happy, safe and healthy 2009!

My 1st Christmas

With this being Easton's first Christmas he didn't go without every toy imaginable.  He got tons of toys to play with, some for now and some when he gets a little older.  He got a Jumperoo, books, puzzles, Baby Einstein movies and his first pair of Puma's.

We got to have both sets of parents here for the holidays and engage in all the family craziness. But that is what the holidays are for...it is all about family!  

We went to Opryland and saw all the beautiful lights and also got to see ICE!, the Grinch!  It was very fun and very cold!  Needless to say, it was perfect!  We love having family around and celebrating the holidays with them.

I Love Cereal

We gave Easton cereal last week and he LOVED it!  We also gave him applesauce and he ate it all up!  I had no doubt that he would...my big boy!

Happy Holidays!

 I know we are a little late, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Roll Over, Roll Over

This is what Easton can do now! How exciting, I never thought he was going to. He also doesn't want to sleep with his Boppy anymore. He just screams at night when we put him down. He definitely is on his own time...this is scary! He knows who is boss and it sure isn't mom and dad...at the moment! He is only 4 months. He now wants to lay on his side and roll from one side to the other at night (he loves sleeping on his stomach) and be in complete control. We are going to have our hands full with our little leo.
Also he is eating cereal now. How cute to watch it shuffle around in his mouth. He knows what to do with it and is really enjoying sitting in his high chair like a big boy!

I'm a Big Boy

So yesterday we went to the Dr. for Easton's 4 month check-up and everything went great. Except for the fact that it took forever but that is expected. He is 16 lbs. 3 oz and 24 1/2 inches. Easton is in the 75th percentile for his age. And the other good thing is we can now start him on cereal. I am excited....what a mess it will be!
