Easton's Sleeping Habits

So, the only way I can keep Easton in his bed is if he is sleeping in a boppy. My sister has this "boppy lounger" which is basically a boppy with a cover that covers the entire boppy so there isn't a "hole". I just hope I can transition him because soon he will be too big to sleep in the boppy. Oh and the patch on the boppy lounger that says "do not let baby sleep in lounger" is just a suggestion....right?

Bike Ride

After the Lemonade stand, we took the kids on a bike ride. We had Ryan pulling Asher in the trailer, both girls on their bikes and Easton in the baby Bjorn with me on my bike. We ended up riding to Grandma Bushman's so the kids could wish her a happy mother's day and play at her house. The girls did awesome! Sadie was who we were worried about but she didn't complain once and the end result was a 7.5 mile round trip bike ride! Asher was asleep in the trailer about 5 minutes into the return trip. Now that we know they can do it, we will probably make this a more frequent thing. It will be nice when Easton is big enough to ride in the trailer with his brother, until then he will be stuck with me.

He was so tired!

The First of Many....

I finally let the girls have a lemonade stand Saturday. They were open for around 45 minutes, charged .25 cents a cup and earned $6.50. I think people were coming to buy just so that Addie would quit yelling/screaming "Lemonade....25 cents!"

I'm sure they will be out there as many Saturdays as I will let them.

Easton @ 2 Months

Easton turned 2 months on Sunday. He was also blessed that day. Ryan gave a beautiful blessing and the whole time Ryan was giving the blessing, Easton was looking at his dad and talking to him. It was awesome, we all could hear it in the microphone.

Friday I took him in for his two month appt. and his shots. He did alright with his shots, he didn't like them but stopped crying right after I picked him up. He slept for most of the day which was nice.

Here are his stats:

Weight 11.18 40th percentile

Height 22.5 31st percentile

Head circumference 15 11th percentile

He is turning out to be our smallest kid yet. Both girls were 12 lbs at two months and Asher was a whopping 13.8. He was my biggest baby but may end up being our smallest kid.

Easter

My mom has an Easter party every year for the grand kids. They color eggs, go on an egg hunt and eat whatever they want. This year my mom threw in a treasure hunt and made each of the grand kids (8) a basket. The kids had an absolute ball! My mom is an awesome grandma and everything she does is for her grand kids and they all LOVE her! After the egg hunt and the finding of the baskets, the Easter Bunny didn't even need to come to the house. We all had a great time! Thanks Mom and Dad! You guys are great!

The grand kids waiting to go on the egg hunt. When we said "go" Sadie literally threw Vance off her lap, he went face first onto the sidewalk and Sadie never looked back. Vance was okay and Sadie got the most eggs.

The Boy and His Toy

So Asher LOVES laptops. He loves them so much that he has ruined three of them by popping off the keys. In the fall he popped off keys on my mini that I took to school and I showed the Professor that I am a TA for. The next day, he brought in this ancient laptop that he had and gave it to me to give to Asher. It has been in the trunk of the car for about 4 months. Last weekend Ryan cleaned out his car and put the laptop in the garage by the steps to the house. Asher finally noticed it and was SO excited! I mean he was literally giggling as he lugged this ancient laptop that has to weigh 10 pounds into the house. I plugged it in and turned it on and he was in heaven. It really works and it takes me back to high school and word processing class. Anyway here are a few pics of him with his toy.

Typing something important I'm sure

The battery pack also doubles as a phone!

Don't you love how he is holding it on his shoulder!

Easton's Newborn Pics

When Easton was two weeks old, my sister-in-law Brittney took some pictures of him. He was so funny and wouldn't stay asleep and was a bit fussy but she got some really cute ones of him.

She is so good at what she does and recently started a photography business and you can check it out @ www.photosnappaladies.blogspot.com
