Easton's 2nd Birthday

In the blink of an eye, Easton has turned two. (How many times can I say in this blog that time is flying?!?!?!)



As we did last year, we celebrated over lunch on his birthday with just me and his daddy. Cake, Pizza, presents, what else do a 2 year old need? And as of his 2 year appointment, Easton still weighs in under 30 lbs at 29 lbs. and at the present time, I lost the paper with his height on it but I think he was around 34 inches.Give or take , I guess. :) His vocabulary is astounding and the doctors have no concerns for him. We did have to get an echo-cardiogram done to listen to an innocent (so far) heart murmur he has had since he was born. We are waiting( anxiously) for the results!

He has been sleeping in a big boy bed (twin) for about 2 weeks now and has really transitioned well! He really likes laying in it and he is beyond ecstatic when one of the dogs decides to join him!

Potty training is also progressing.... slowly. Seriously though, he has done fantastic with this! We still have a couple accidents here and there and I haven't had him wear undies out in public yet . Although I must say, pooping in the potty is a whole different story all together! That has not really happened so we are thankful for pull ups!

Baby brothers room is all painted and has the crib set up. All its needs are some window treatments, closet doors, some odds and ends...and the baby! Who, as of last time, has a name! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Andrew Wyatt, or just Drew. Easton loves going into baby Drew's room and touching all of this things! ( Do diapers really come that tiny again?!?!?)

Christmas into a New Year

2014 has come to a close and now we have a 3 1/2 -4 month cold winter wait until baby #2 gets here - and SPRING!

We had family come stay with us for Christmas this year and it proved to be a very eventful week - most of us (including Easton) got the stomach flu. And a huge winter snow storm hit!

New Year - back at home with Mom. All day. Every Day. At least we have lots of new toys to play with! As much as i wanted winter to come this year, i think we may be getting cabin fever ( with wind chills in the -'s a lot of days, going out isn't an option for little ones!)




And the potty training has started in full force. Prior to Christmas we practiced using the potty, still using diapers. WE have switched to undies during the day at home and it has been a battle of wills between E and I. He will go on the potty ok but wants a million treats and snacks when finished. I keep repeating - pick your battles, pick your battles! Although he looks darn adorable in his little undies! And the new bed is finally getting put together this weekend - so much change!





In other news, today is Easton's 2nd birthday! I will post a birthday post after his doctor appointment next week!
