Tubing Adventure

On February 4th, Ryan and my parents and I, took Easton to Pando Snow Tubing! He LOVED it! What fun! He giggled with excitement! He is our little thrill seeker! He even made some new friends in 2 little 6 year old girls who were kind enough to play with him and let him go down on tube with them. So sweet! Fun was had by all! :-)

2 year old check up

Easton had his 2 year well child check up yesterday. It is amazing how big he is! The numbers made me go "Whoa!!!!"

Weight: 29 lbs. 6 oz. (90th percentile)
Height: 37" long (97th percentile)

He's a big kid!

He only had to get one shot (a HIB shot because he had missed one due to a shortage months back) and he did amazing. He only winces at the pain, what a strong boy!

We cannot believe how old he is and how old he acts. He is definitely not a baby anymore and is a little boy - and a smart one at that!

Easton knows how to spell his name, he knows the whole ABCs, he can count to 15 and he has a larger vocabulary than more adults I know! The doctor asked if he speaks in 2 word sentences and I said, "Not really" and he looked concerned. I told him, "2 word sentences, that was so 6 months ago, how about 5+ word sentences! This boy is quite the conversationalist!" and our doctor laughed. And Easton is really quite the talker! Who would have guessed, right? *wink wink*

Honestly, Easton could not be sweeter, smarter, more polite or smarter than he is. We've been blessed with one AMAZING little man! <3

How lovely.

My whole world on one couch

Birthday Boy!

Easton's birthday was back on January 9 and we had his party on that day. Thanks again to everyone to came! We had so much fun with you all! Easton requested pizza as his birthday lunch (he is really on a pizza "kick" lately!). We decorated with a firetruck and dalmation fire dog theme and had oodles of streamers and balloons! It was a very festive affair! We had our "favoritest" family and friends there to celebrate with us. We love you all so much!

Here are some of the photos, you can see a lot of fun was had by all!

Christmas

I know it is 3 weeks after Christmas, but I am sharing some pictures anyway. I am so sorry that I have been so behind on updating the blog! I feel awful about that! Like I said before, with being a mommy, wife, housekeeper, dog food maker, part-time legal assistant and new business owner - I am absolutely SPENT and my blog is suffering! I apologize and am going to step up and be better about updating....

So, on to Christmas....Christmas was fantastic! We had to have 4 present openings because Easton had so much stuff! He was such a little lovey! He would open a toy and just want to play, he wasn't greedily ripping open packages, it was such a nice Christmas! The best Christmas gift for us, is the gift of Easton and getting to see Christmas again through a child's eyes, so much fun and joy! Christmas is so much sweeter with him around!

First picture of him coming out and seeing the train table Santa brought him! Do you think he likes it!? Hehe!

Sweetie surveying the presents....

Getting very excited during opening!



He took gift opening VERY serious!

He got so excited and screamed "CAR!" when he ripped off the wrapping paper!
