Spring has sprung, kind of!

After a horrid, cold winter, spring is slowly sneaking into Nebraska! We have loved being able to be outside and explore! (We are pretending it did not snow again  yesterday!)

Getting outside for a minute today! 

Having a little Easter egg hunt practice last weekend.

Crawling down the sidewalk

passing dirt through the fence to his great grandpa. 

His FAVORITE book!

Being 15 months ....

Since I posted last, Easton has hit the 15 month milestone! And yet again, I am in awe of how fast the time truly does go!

All about 15 months:

• Easton is weighing in at 24 lbs 15 oz and 31 3/4 inches. He is in  the 75% for both which is great considering he started life on the preemie chart! 
• He still loves eating! There is not much he doesn't like except for maybe cut up strawberries and hard boiled eggs. ( strawberry yogurt and scrambled eggs are fine!) And he is getting pretty good at stabbing things with his little fork and actually getting them into his mouth.
• He is still NOT walking which is starting to become a concern for both us and his pediatrician. He scoots along the furniture and can stand on his own but there is not any dancing around or walking alone. We will just keep practicing! (because hey, 25 lbs is a lot to lug around all the time!)
• In relation to the fact that he is not walking, he fell crawling and chipped his front baby tooth. Yes, I cried and yes, it bothers me more than him! He cut his lip in the process and has a very unique smile now!
• He is quite the chatterbox but still so serious and just loves to take the world in around him! As of today, when we ask him what a sheep says he says, "baa" and a dog, "woof". He can happily converse with mama, dada, papa, nana, no no, uh oh, doggie, milk, bath, Mickey,cookie, thank you and bye bye. When you ask him to go night night, he immediately lays down. :)
• He LOVES to point at things, play with his toys, throw balls, look out the window, attempt to get at the dog food/water, swing at the playground,  put his socks away (general laundry help), read his animal book, and crawl on the dogs. He also loves taking daddy's hat off his head!
• Easton has 10 teeth with number 11 and 12 popping through on the bottom.

Showing off his shiner!  

Love!

Weekend trip to Steamboat Colorado. Easton got his first lift pass, which of course, I saved!

The most unattractive picture ever, but the cutest too! He slept like this for almost 2 hours! Passed out on the gondola and then I had to carry him across town the to the condo!

14 months and St Patrick's Day

Easton's 14 month stats:

• Still only crawling. But he has stood by himself a couple times so we will wait..and wait...and wait...
• Says Mama, Dada, No No, nana (banana), thank you. Will repeat cookie, nice doggie, Papa, milk, bath, Kix and Kasey - in his own special way of course!
• Has 10 teeth. Which means we are a cranky boy!
• Obsessed with the TV remote, the baby gate. and dog food/water - thisngs we are not to be playing with!
• Loves to eat food off his little plate and hold his fork. 
• Taking two naps a day 

Trying finger painting with Easton for the first time. In all honesty, he was way more interested in putting the lids on the paint than actually painting...but I kept the picture, nonetheless. 

This was a day, in my mind, would produce beautiful family/St Patricks Day photos. In reality, that did not happen. But, what we got was pretty cool!

Reading animal flash cards from the $1 bin at Target. 

Aunt Jennifer came to visit. Easton was a bit cranky for her (cold, teeth) but he does love his Auntie! Well, he loved talking to Siri on her iPhone!

Yesterday was such a nice day we took Easton to the big playground for the first time. I am learning that Easton just loves to take it all in. Not big on socializing with the other kiddos or laughing on the swing. But he really enjoyed himself, in his own way! I am really looking forward to taking him here more! 

St. Patricks Day fun at home!

STANDING!!!!

Love this face!
