Easton turned 6 months old this week.
He has been sick most of this month. He has a cold and cough, then got over it, then got a new one with Croup cough as well. So fun....NOT!! Poor kid is just a wet mess all the time.
He is kinda getting out of the newborn stage and getting into more infant cuteness. Although he is taking his sweet time on a few things :)
He is so chill and he is just happy the way he is. He loves to be held and cuddled. He hasn't quite figured out how to sit up by himself yet, or roll over. But thats okay right? They say boys are a lil slower than girls.
He just started eating foods and he is loving it. Somedays he still struggles on swallowing it and loves to push it out, but we are practicing.
He reaches for everything now! It's cute because it's almost like he forgets that he can, and then he will remember, and then grab for it REAL fast!! Catches you off gaurd.
His smile is electricfing! He works up into his smile, and it's beautiful and so contagious. He has huge dimples, just like his daddy.
He has been stuggling with sleeping this month due to being sick. He was sleeping all night till about 5 or 6 am but now is waking up a few more times.
He is finally packing on the pounds too. His thighs are so chubby and I just want to squeeze them all day! He loves his toes, reaching for my eyes and nose, and adores his big sister!!
When Bailey walks in the room, he gets a huge smile on his face. It doesn't matter what she is doing. She could be dancing, playing with her toys, jumping on his belly, or hitting him in the head with a toy, and he still has a smile on his face!!!
We are practicing on his giggles too. Kyle can seem to get more out of him than I can.
He loves to be outside and looking up at all the trees and leaves!
Man, I love my lil boy. He is such a sweetheart! He melts my heart and I love to just sit and cuddle and stare into his eyes!
Easton.....Momma loves you! Please stay as sweet and calm as you are :)

4 months!
Easton is 4 months now! I have made it through the hardest part, so they say! Some things about Easton:
He found his toes this last week. Everytime I change his diaper and brings his toes up, it's like he is seeing his best friend for the first time! He gets a great big smile and hangs on tight.
He loves to smile. I like to say his smile grows. It starts small and then grows into a huge, contagious smile.
He eats about 5 ounces every 2-3 hrs.
Poops once a day, usually blows out the sides
Sleeps, pretty good. Goes to bed about 9:30, sleeps till around 5, on a good day till 7 or 8, wakes up, drinks a bottle, goes back to bed till about 8:30. Awake for 2 hrs, back down for about an hour nap. Awake for 2-3 more hours, then takes about a 2 hour afternoon nap,scheduled around Bailey's nap. I love that he takes long naps b/c Bailey only would sleep in 30 min increments.
He loves to suck and chew on his fingers. Usually his two middle fingers.
He is happy when being held. I can now lay him down or in a bouncer for about 30 mins before he needs more lovin from someone.
Found his voice, loves to chit chat with us and sing along with Bailey's cartoons.
He is such a joy to have around. We love him to pieces. Bailey is very protective of him and needs to know where he is at all times. The other day we dropped him off at the babysitters and took her with us. She started balling b/c she thought we were going to leave him behind and wanted him back. She was so upset but we reassured her that we would be back for him.

Disneyland!
We braved it out and took our kids to Disneyland!!! We left here on Friday Oct. 5th and drove to Vegas. We stayed with our friends Jake and Ashley in their new home. There 2 yr old girl Brynlee, and Bailey are Besties and played together all night. We woke up Saturday and drove to California with only 1 potty break in Baker California (ghetto, hippy town) We made it to our hotel, dropped off our stuff, and headed to Huntington Beach! We only had about about an hour or so before it got dark but we got to watch the Beautiful sun set. I love and miss the sand between my toes, with the waves crashing! It's so fun to watch Bailey run around and play in the sand as well. I wish I lived cloer. Easton just chilled on my lap and was loving every min of it.
Sunday we woke up and got a late start on Disney. *Funny story* So, a few weeks prior to our trip, I was researching Disney and looking through the Website. I came across their events and it just so happened that we were going to be at Disney on GAY DAY!!!!! Wahoooooo, the one event a year, happens to be while we were there. Well, in fear of what Kyle might have thought, I didn't tell him. In fact, I came up with a brillant idea to prank Kyle. I called the other people we went with and clued them in on Gay Day and they all the Gays wear the color red. I told them that it would be HILARIOUS if we somehow cordinated our husbands into wearing red and then pairing them off together!! :) Muuhahahaha. Well, it worked! Kyle put on a white shirt that morning but we all used our magic to have him change his shirt to the red one so that we could easily spot our husbands by them wearing the same color. We got to the park and there weren't as many couples as we were hoping for. lol. Kyle was so oblivious to it all so we had to start placing the thoughts in his head. We starting pointing out all the couples and mentioning that they are all matching. Still not much from him. At one point, Kyle and Jake were pushing the kids in the stroller and Ashley and I were walking behind. A couple next to us said to each other....."Look, they even have children!!" "Ewww" the other replied! I couldn't stop laughing! Finally, Kyle ran into a friend of his from back home and the guy informed Kyle that he was wearing Red on Gay Day!!! Kyle came yelling at me ;) and all I could do was laugh. Pretty good prank, don't ya think!
Anywho, Sunday we did Disneyland and did most of the main attractions and rides for the kids.
Monday we thought it would be less busy, but were wrong. It was fall break in Cali, Arizona, and Utah. We headed over to California Adventure and did some Big kid rides! We did all the fast passes and child swap passes so we were able to ride all the rides....a few times. The kids were exhausted by this point and they all took turns naping in the double stroller. We headed back over the Disney that night to watch Fireworks.
Tuesday we headed back into Disney to hit up the Tea cups and Dumbo....Bailey's Favorites!!! Both my kids were sick, but it hit Easton pretty good. Sadly, he coughed non stop and was so sad, but on a postive note, he was so exhausted that he was very chill and sleepy. Poor kid!
We were so tired by two that we waddled out of the park and got back on the road. For some reason, it took us forever to get back to Vegas! We got there real late and went straight to bed. We woke up the next morning, Wednesday, and went out for breakfast, then swam, and then headed back to Utah!!
It was a fun, but exhausting trip! Bailey and Easton were such Troopers!! When Bailey is asked what her favorite part was, she will reply with, Ariel and Tea Cups!
When we got home, I worked 4 out of the 5 days and still feel like I haven't caught up on my sleep!
I love that we got to make family memories. I look forward to our many more Family vacations!
They will be the most memorable times of our and our childrens lives! I still remember every one of my family vacations!
