All the Single Leelee's...

Just couple funny stories about Easton...

A little background first...my mom's nickname has always been "Leelee" everyone calls her this. In fact, I find it incredibly weird when someone calls her Carolee (her real name). So it only seemed natural when Easton started calling her "Grandma Leelee" he even just calls her Leelee a lot of the time.

Anyway, yesterday I had the song "All The Single Ladies" by Beyonce in my head, so as I was cleaning the kitchen I started to sing this song. A lot of the time when I do this Easton will sing along, but yesterday was extra cute because instead of singing "all the single ladies" he was saying "all the single Leelees"!!

The best part is that my mom is single...so if anyone knows a fabulous guy for her let me know :)

Isn't she cute!!

Another quick story that happened yesterday...

We went over to the park to play and Easton was wearing his fantastic shark sunglasses. The sprinklers were on over on the grass next to the park. Easton was running around and apparently couldn't tell through his glasses that the sprinklers were going because he ran right into the spraying water. It sprayed him in the face and he was so shocked by it that he turned around and got beamed in the face again by another one! Luckily, after the initial shock he thought it was pretty funny...

I'm not gonna lie...I really just sat there laughing hysterically!

Who's Who?

So I know that Ty looks a lot like Easton did when he was a baby. Lately I've been going through some of Easton's pictures and thought I would see how much they actually look alike! Here are some pictures...do you see the resemblance?

They both have/had very sweet personalities. Easton and Ty so far have been fairly easy babies. They have both started sleeping through the night very early on and only cry when they are hungry. Believe it or not (for the people who see Easton on a regular basis) Easton was a very content baby and so is Ty. I was a little afraid to have our second baby because I was afraid that I got spoiled with Easton and I was going to get it 10 fold with Ty, but he has been great as well (which means the third child might be insane :) ). Although the boys do look alike and have the same temperament, there are some differences.

Easton was a spitter-upper! EVERY time he ate he spit up. Ty doesn't spit up--this took us a while to get used to because although he doesn't spit up his burps sound like it is going to be 'bad' and we were so used to it with Easton Ace and I would both panic every time Ty burps! We are getting better though!

Ty doesn't prefer to be in the car, while Easton loved it.

Ty doesn't really cry, it sounds like he is having a pity party for himself just whimpering. Easton didn't really ever cry but when he did he CRIED!

Easton had a problem with peeing on us EVERY time we changed his diaper. Ty has only done it once or twice! Hooray!

Ty likes to be cuddled or just near someone, Easton preferred to be on the floor stretching and playing.

Easton HATED the little vibrating function on his bed and bouncer, he would rather just sit there the vibrating bugged him. Ty LOVES it!

And my favorite...Easton has a small birthmark on the back of his left arm, and Ty has a birthmark on his left butt cheek!!


In case you couldn't tell... #'s 1, 4, 7, 6 are Ty and #'s 3, 2, 5, 8 are Easton

No Wonder I Was So Uncomfortable!

Every time that Ty is sleeping without being wrapped up, this is what he looks like...

This answers so many questions about what he would do whilst inside of me! I would complain that he felt like he was stretching out in every direction at the same time...although, at the time I didn't realize it was actually possible!

But who could be mad at this cute boy...

Sneaking Out of Bed...

The other night we put Easton to bed. Sometimes we can hear Easton for a little while singing and playing before he actually goes to sleep, but this night we heard nothing. I thought that he had just gone to bed quickly that night. About 1:00 am I had to go in his room to get something for Ty and walked into this...He was about as far away from his bed as you can get, so he couldn't have just fallen out of bed. Plus he had pulled out his aqua-doodle, and brought his blanket and bear with him. He never plays without making noise- he is normally talking to himself. I was so surprised how quiet he was...sneaky boy!

Trip to the Dentist...

Easton went to the dentist for the first time last Friday! I was sure that it was going to be a disaster and that Easton would be too freaked out for them to do anything...I was so wrong! Easton was a little nervous at first, but he didn't fight us, he just sat there and talked to the dentist. The dentist was really good about showing him each tool before she put it in his mouth. My favorite part though was when she introduced the little sucker (the thing that sucks all the gunk out of your mouth). Before she did it she showed it to him and said to me that most kids get a little scared of this, but she put it in his mouth and we watched his little lips shrivel up and then he just started laughing hysterically and loud! She let him hold it and after every single tooth she cleaned he would put it in his mouth and laugh. It took a little longer, but she was able to do a full on cleaning for him, and we are happy to report no cavities for Easton! Ace and I were not so lucky :(

I forgot my camera so these pictures are from my phone. I was so mad--I would have loved to get his reaction to the sucker on video...

Ty's Blessing

March 1st was Ty's blessing! It was such a great day! Most of our family came down for it so we had quite the full house! Luckily we have some fabulous friends who lent us their vacant house to use for the weekend so everyone had a place to sleep! Thanks Steve & Diana! And thanks to everyone that came down, especially Ace's family who squeezed themselves into one car to make the long drive, it really meant a lot that you were all there!

Here we are with Steve and Levi. Ruby was sick so her and Diana didn't make it

The Grandpas' and Easton!

Random Fun...

Here are some fun pictures of the last two weeks or so...





Here is Easton on his "big bike" he got for his b-day. He loves it and is finally getting the hang of pedaling! I have videos I will post soon!

Just Chillin...

Here's Easton trying to fake sleep... he's good!

Even if it is just Gas...It's Still So Cute!

This last one makes me laugh-it reminds me a little of Dwight Schrute's evil / satisfied grin...

here's the best picture I could find of Dwight and his grin

Easton is 3!

Three years old! I really can't believe how fast he is growing up! Three sounds so old to me-he can't be called a baby anymore and this is the age where he can start T-ball and go to preschool! It seems so weird, but on the other hand, he is so much fun. His comments have become quite funny and it is so fun to see him learn so many new things all the time.

For his birthday we took him to Red Robin for dinner and apparently Red Robin is the place to go on birthdays and Feb. 5 is a popular birthday day because while we were there they sang Happy Birthday to 14 different tables (15 including Easton)

He really enjoyed his Ice Cream Sundae!!

Then that weekend we took him to the Shark Reef with our neighbors Steve, Diana, Ruby, and Levi (I still call them our neighbors even though they moved away!)
He had so much fun we were there for about two and a half hours and we had to pull Easton away from every exhibit.
We came back for Cake and Ice cream

Opening Presents

(Yes, that is Easton new haircut done WithOUT permission by ACE)
When I asked him what kind of cake he wanted he told me he wanted cookies, so he got three cookies as well

Happy Birthday Easton! We Love You!
