Easton,
Wow, we had a rough evening tonight! Everyone was a little fussy all day today but tonight was especially bad for some reason. Just now I went in to kiss you goodnight and cover you up and looking at your sweet face just broke my heart. I'm sorry for the way I lost my temper and yelled tonight. I apologized to you before you went to bed but I still feel bad. I'll try harder to remember that you're still little and that no naps make you a little wired sometimes but it's not really your fault. I'll also try to work on getting more sleep so I am less cranky with you and hopefully have more patience. I love you, my little sweetie. Thanks for loving me back "4, 5, 6" even on the tough days.
Love,
Mama

Easton,
Oh my, you are getting so big! You talk up a storm. All day long and you use BIG words too. Words like pomegranate, elephant (which to you is “ellerphant”), hippopotamus (hippopolamus), and elevator (elelator) and my favorite, helicopter (honeycotter). We got your hair cut. All your sweet little baby angel curls are gone and in their place, you’ve got a big boy hair cut. You say (and I totally agree) that it’s “bery handsome.”

You sometimes seem to be very interested in using the big boy potty. Other times you just want to take your clothes and diaper of and pee in the floor or your bed. If you’d just tell me when you need to go I’ll happily take you, ok? You aren’t interested in rewards of m&ms, stickers, or any other treat. You won’t tell me in time so we can go try to pee on cheerios or fruit loops. Man, I’ll be glad when this part is over! Other than that though I totally want to freeze time and just keep you my little buddy forever. You are so fun! Everything is cool and exciting and I am the best person you know. Well, me and daddy and sis and Elmo are tied. I’ll definitely take that though.

You can now tell me your entire name, Daddy, Mama and sis’s names, the city and state we live in (“yes uh-gin-uh”), where Daddy works and what they make there. You say funny things like “Yeah. Be fun!” and “I see dat”. Before nap time now you ask me to rock you and I always do. Each time I tell myself to soak it all up because this might be the last time you ask me “Rock you, mama. Sing.” I love each and every minute of it, my little man and I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mama

Easton,
What a whirlwind the last few months have been! You are growing up so quickly and you continue to amaze me with the things you say. Sometimes they're funny, like when you said your "eyes stuffy" (I think you meant sleepy???) and sometimes they're sweet "share you mama" (share with you) but they're always amazing and smart. You don't miss a thing these days. You love to look for a crescent moon every time you're outside or looking out the window. You love helping me with laundry (longy) and love to eat your sis's baby food. Heck, I'm certainly not going to tell you no on that one! Squash? Sure you can have some! You continue to love most veggies except you HATE green beans. Even succotash gets gobbled up and you usually ask for more. Sure thing, sweet pea! One of your favorite words right now is mayonnaise. I have no idea why but it sends you into fits of giggles every time you say it. Somehow it's not nearly so funny when Mama or Daddy says it though. You had a great time over Christmas when your cousins and Aunt Leslie and Uncle Terry and McKayla came to visit. You still ask for "Lexa" a lot. I wish we lived closer to them so you could play together more often! Maybe someday. One of my favorite things is when you say "Hi, sis!" You say it with such a drawl that it sounds like "Ha seeee-us!" It is too cute! You love Thomas the Train and the Wonder Pets and sometimes still love Elmo. Your bears are still your favorite buddies and sometimes your giant monkey too. Most of the time you refuse to ride in the shopping cart at the store although after this last trip to the grocery store when you ran off laughing down the aisle, you will no longer have a choice in the matter. Sorry dude. We'll try again in a few months, ok? You are still fascinated with cars and trucks and really vehicles of all kinds. Today I took down your jungle decals in your room and put up ones of cars, planes, trucks and trains. You love to count them (1,4,5,6, 7, 10 YAY!) and greet each one by name. "Hello red car. Hello yellow truck. Hello Thomas."
I love you, my sweetie boy, my lovie, my Toodles!
Love,
Mama

I originally was not going to post this first picture but couldn't help myself. Sorry, babe!

Easton,
Tonight we had chicken, broccoli/carrots/cauliflower mix and rice. You wanted only rice for dinner and also wanted Mama and Daddy to feed every bite to you. Funny boy! For dessert (after you ate some of ALL of your dinner, not just rice!), we had Pumpkin Spice pudding with Cool Whip and Vanilla Wafers. You loved it and call it "pugging".
Other funny words you say:
kruk - truck
fee - tree
cry - try
griving - driving
tit - tent
wallet - Walmart (probably because every time we go to Walmart I have to get out my wallet!)
You have such a huge vocabulary! Today you very plainly asked me "What's that noise, Mama?" You also have a very musical way of talking, which I never get tired of hearing. You are mostly sweet to your sister. Today I saw you very gently lift up a corner of her bib to wipe her mouth with it and it was so sweet it brought tears to my eyes. Then you promptly smacked her over the head when I wasn't paying you enough attention. Hopefully you learn very quickly that you'll definitely get attention for that alright, just not the kind you had hoped for. (TIME OUT!)
I love you, my funny boy. Can't wait to see what funny things you'll say or do tomorrow!
Love,
Mama

Easton,
Happy Halloween! Tonight was your first time trick-or-treating. You were a fireman. I wil lnever forget your sweet little blonde curls peeking out from under your red plastic hat. You kept going and going, wanting to walk even long after you were literally falling down you were so tired.

You are 2 years and 3 days old. We celebrated your birthday here at home with just Mama, Daddy and Sis. We were planning a party with some of your friends but we all came down with some kind of cold or bug and have to reschedule. I think you still had a really fun day even with no big party. We were all feeling better by the time the party day rollled around but I don't want to take the chance of gettting our friends sick so we'll reschedule and you'll just have twice the birthday fun.

I made you a birthday cake to celebrate on your actual birthday. It was a monkey. Your mama is far from being a professional cake decorator but it turned out pretty cute and you said it was "Lummy" so that's all that matters. After dinner, we had cake and ice cream and then you opened your presents. You got a Fisher Price Spin-n-Crash Racetrack from Nanny and Papa, which you love and call your "race crack". You got a huge Mr. PotatoHead with lots of pieces (what were we thinking?!) from Mama and Daddy along with some books and movies. Your most favorite present of all is a $5 red Chevy truck we found by the register at Rite Aid. You'd sleep with that truck if you could. You also got a new bedding set from Nana and Poppy which you like but will take some getting used to for you to sleep with I think. I tucked you in and covered you up and the next morning I found you on top of the covers with your head at the foot of the bed. When you woke up the first thing you said to me was "New bed comfy!" You are so funny and smart!
Gotta get to bed. My eyelids are getting very heavy.
I love you, Toodles!
Love,
Mama

Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet Easton James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Wont you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet Easton James

(My apologies to James Taylor for stealing his song to sing to my not-so-little-man.)

Easton,
You are growing up so fast! I am glad that (for now) you still let me rock and sing to you. You make your mama so happy!
I love you, sweet boy!
Love,
Mama

Easton,
Oh my heavens, I cannot keep up with you these days! I swear in the course of one day you have climbed onto the dining room table 3 or 4 times, emptied out the basket of spoons in the drawer, cleaned out my junk drawer, brought out every single book from your room and left them in a pile in the living room, climbed up onto the desk and sat on the keyboard, climbed into my comfy chair and turned your sister's swing off and on about a million times and dug in the trash approximately 357,687,324,687 times. We need to get a swingset for you so you can burn off some of this energy, little one!

You are now putting words into sentences. One day you emptied out your diaper bag in the back seat of the car and found a container of cookies. You handed it to me and said "Have some?" How could I say no to that? That may be one of the few times I could not say no to cookies before dinner.

This past weekend, we went to the fair with Katy and Jake. You had a corn dog, french fries and a funnel cake, rode the carosel with Mama, rode the trucks with Daddy and saw cows, chickens, sheep, horses, rabbits, pigs and a camel. I think it's safe to say you had a really fun time.

You are still my sunny, funny boy and I am so lucky to have the chance to be your mama. I love you, Toodles!
Love,
Mama

Easton,
Oh, my little ham. You are such a joy to be around! You are learning more words every day and even have learned a few sentences. The most recent sentence you said was "I see you" which you said when we were playing peekaboo and you thought was very funny.

I love the fact that I can ask you what you want for breakfast and you can tell me. You usually ask for eggs, which surprises me. Right now you are on a cereal kick and would eat Honeycomb for breakfast, lunch and dinner if we let you.

You have an amazing memory. We can read a new book one time and the very next time you are calling it by name and helping me read the story to you. Right now your favorite book is "The Ants Go Marching", which I love but is exhausting to read over and over and over. That is one LONG story/song! You also love "I Love You Through and Through", "I Love My Numbers", "We're Going on a Bear Hunt", and "Elmo Loves You".

Every single day, you give me something to laugh about. You make my world a much brighter place, simply by being my sunny, funny boy.
I love you, little stinker!
Love,
Mama

Easton,
Little monkey, you continue to amaze me! Just recently you started saying "book" instead of your usual "boop". I am so happy that you are learning to say things correctly but it sure makes me sad to realize just how quickly you are growing up. You can say well over 100 words. I know because I counted. When I got up to 125, I lost count.

Right now you are fascinated with the concept of "in" and "out". You love taking things out but not so much the putting them in. The past two days you've taken all of the dirty clothes out of your sister's hamper and brought them to me in the living room. You understand when I ask you to put them back in but aren't about to do it.

You can recognize circle, square, triangle, rectangle, diamond, star, heart, and oval. You can ralso ecognize several letters...A, E, O, and the number 8. You love when we count for you. When I say "one" you say "two." We count to ten and when we're finished you clap and say "Yay!" You cannot get enough of books. You even love to pretend to read my cookbooks. You call them bookcooks. One of your favorite new words is "koo-ie" (koozie). Daddy put your sippy cup in a koozie once and now every time you get a drink you want it in a koozie.

You are still my sunny, funny boy and I am so grateful to be home with you to see you grow and change and learn every day.

Love,
Mama

Easton,
Tomorrow you will be 19 months old. And tomorrow we get to meet your sister for the first time. I know you will be a great big brother and will be excited to see this "Nie nie" (your word for baby-we have no idea where that came from). Your Nana is here to help take care of you and I know you two will have a fun time together. Mama will miss you very much while I'm in the hospital but remember what we say around here...I might have to go away but I will always come back. I love you, my sweet, funny boy!
Love,
Mama
P.S. Don't give Nana a hard time, OK? I'm not too worried about that though. You are usually a very easy going boy and not a bit of trouble. Don't start now, OK? :)

Easton,
We get to meet your sister soon. Right now I am enjoying spending lots of one on one time with you because soon your sister will be here and I'll need to be feeding her or changing her or giving her my attention. I know this will be hard on all of us but I hope you know that just because Mama is busy with sister, it doesn't mean I am too busy for you. You are Mama's little buddy and I am going to do everything I can to make sure you know just how special you are to me.

You made me something I've wanted to be all of my life...a mom. I learned so much about myself and about what's important in life just from being your Mama. I'm trying to grasp the fact that you're growing up and that you are not a baby anymore. You are so independent these days and I am glad. I love seeing you do things for yourself and at the same time, it's sad that you need me a little less these days.

Your new favorite word is "fiesty". I crack up every time you say it because I called you that one day when you were overtired and cranky and we were on our way home for you to take a nap. Out of frustration, I said "Easton, you're being a little fiesty" and you laughed and said "vasty, vasty, vasty" for the rest of the day. When I'm tired, frustrated or cranky all it takes is one of your sweet smiles or a funny new favorite word from you to make me feel "all better".

I love you, my sweet, funny boy.

Love,
Mama

Easton,
Happy birthday, little man! You are officially a year and a half old today. We got you a little sister to celebrate. Haha. Well, really, we got you a wagon. We probably won't be getting you a gift every year on your 1/2 birthday but thought that since your birthday is in cold weather, we might just save the wagons, tricycles, bikes, and other warm-weather stuff for a surprise once in a while on your half birthday. You love your wagon. You call it your "car" and want to go for a walk every day and that's fine with me! :)

We've started making a list of all the words you can say. So far we're up to 138 and that list grows by at least one or two words a day. You beat the "average" 18 month old by about 128 words but I already knew you were far from average my sweet boy.

Right now you are lying in your crib talking to yourself/fussing about being put down for a nap. You're tired but are keeping yourself awake by saying just about every single word you know. You have 5 teeth now. Two on top and three very crooked ones on the bottom. Boy oh boy, your mama and daddy sure did give you the crooked teeth genes, son. Sorry! But you are still as adorable as ever, don't worry. Maybe even more so.

We've taken your ball pit out of the living room and turned it back into a wading pool. It lives on the deck and you want to go "mimming" every day in your "poo". Good thing mama knows you mean the POOL.

Right now we're just doing a lot of walking and a lot of swimming in the pool and not much of anything else. I am really trying to savor these last few days with you as my only child. I am very, very excited and happy about your sister's arrival soon but I'm trying very hard to soak up as much one on one time with you as I possibly can. It will be a tough time for a little bit, my sweet boy, when your sister comes. We'll have our carefully planned routine thrown out of the window for a while and this will be rough on us all. But I cannot wait to meet your sister and I especially can't wait to see your reaction to her. You love babies and are such a social little guy that I can't imagine there being too much of a problem. We'll see. Just so you know, I won't love you any less just because there's a new baby in the house, I promise!

I love you, my sweet, handsome boy!

Love,
Mama

I'm so glad that Easton got to spend a lot of time with his Nana before she comes out when the baby is born. After this visit, she'll already be familiar with Easton's routine and know where things are and how things work in our house. I think this will really make Easton feel a lot less freaked out (hopefully) when the baby's born.

Easton and his Nana

(not to be confused with his Nanny, which is Jason's mom.)

Easton,

You are saying more and more words every day. While Nana was here you were really fascinated with the words car and snow. Every day you woke up and had to check if there was snow on the ground or see if you could see any cars out your bedroom window. You and Nana would have been thrilled to see some snow but I agree most folks around here...we're ready for spring!

Some other new words you can say now: fish (fuh), truck, (kuck), fan (fa), poop, shoe, socks, cracker, kitty-kitty, bird, tweet tweet (teet teet), pig, hat, bye-bye, hot, bath and drink (gink) and no.

During the time Nana was here, you went from mostly crawling everywhere to walking all of the time. Your wobbly, waddle-y walk is so cute to watch. You're able to catch your balance about half the time instead of falling but you still fall a lot. After one particularly brutal day of falls, head bumps and one busted lip, I threatened to get you a helmet. You're into everything now. You can open cabinets (even some of the ones with the cabinet locks!), open drawers and sliding closet doors, climb up on the couch sometimes by yourself and empty a drawer faster than you can say No No.

I'm hoping that before the baby comes we can work with you on being more gentle. I was holding you the other day and talking to Daddy. I wasn't looking at you and you hauled off and smacked my face so hard it left me a little stunned. I don't think you meant to hurt me, just get my attention. That was the first time you'd ever done anything like that and I think maybe you were just as shocked as I was so . You didn't get in trouble this time but we are going to have to figure out another way for you to get my attention...and quick! Not gonna let that become a habit, let me tell you!

You love story time at the library on Thursdays but I'm not too crazy about it. It's only about 15 minutes long and that is a LOT of hassle and driving for just 15 minutes of story time. Heck, you get WAY more than that here at home with us. Maybe I'll see if there's a better story time program at another libary closer to home. I do enjoy getting out of the house but boy, it's a lot of work for such a short time! Plus, the libarian who does story time is slightly annoying.

You also love the bath and ask to take one after every meal or snack. (Every time you sit in your highchair.) Mostly you just love to splash a lot. Sometimes you splash so much water in your face that I think you'll drown your silly little self but you just take a second to catch your breath and go after it some more. You sure are funny!

Sweetie boy, I hope you know I love being your mama. Every day you do something to amaze me and I am so thankful to have had this special time with just you.

I love you, my sweet little crumb cruncher!

Love,

Mama

Easton,
Today Mama took you to your first story time at the library. You had a pretty good time. There were lots of other kids there and you made sure to say hello to all of them. You crawled around and were so social that I wasn't even sure you were listening to the story until the librarian was reading a part of the book where a bear growled. You let out the loudest growl I've ever heard! It's like you wanted to make sure everyone in the room knew you knew how to growl. Everyone laughed and thought it was pretty cute. You had fun dancing to the music and bouncing up and down when they played Raffi's song"Shake your Sillies Out".

After that we met Daddy for lunch and you had your first Cheetos. Mama will make sure you have some veggies tonight but EVERYONE has to try Cheetos sometime, right? Yesterday you had your first Oreo. You thought it was delicious. The day before that you tried Jello for the first time. You loved that too. You're a pretty good little eater. You eat pretty much everything mom and dad eat now and get very mad if we're eating something too spicy and you can't have any.

You have a new fascination with Momo (Elmo). We're not really sure why because we hardly ever watch Sesame Street. (Looks like we'll have to start!) You have an Elmo phone, an Elmo ball and an Elmo book but we haven't really made a big deal out of saying "Look, Easton. This is Elmo". You're just a smartie and figured it out all on your own. Since you were so good at story time and because I realized you LOVE Momo and we have so little of him in our house, Mama took you to ToysRUs today and you got to pick out an Elmo for your very own. You chose one that talks and is really fuzzy. Just the one I would have chosen for you if you weren't with me.

It's fun now that you're old enough to choose things for yourself. I really enjoy seeing you study your options and really seem to think about your choice before you finally decide. Also, you LOVE music! We were shopping and went by a display where they were playing big band music. You started bopping up and down in the cart and smiling real big. It was pretty cute. Also, today you heard some rap music and did the same thing. I'm glad you enjoy a wide variety of music, little man, but Mama would much prefer if you didn't like rap, OK?

Thanks for being my sunny, funny boy.
Love,
Mama

P.S. Hopefully anybody reading this isn't thinking I totally feed my son junk all the time. He really eats lots of fruits and veggies, I promise! :)

Easton,
You said "car" for the first time today. Yesterday you were only able to say "k, k, k" but we knew you were saying "car". This morning, we were eating breakfast and I was telling you about our plans for the day. I said "want to go for a ride in the car?" and you said "car" just as plain as day. I am continually amazed at what you can do. Just the fact that today you can say one more word than you could yesterday just tickles your mama to death. You were such a trooper today! We ran errands all day long and you didn't really get much of a nap until very late in the day. But throughout the day, if you were tired, you never even made a peep about it, you just went along for the ride, talking up a storm the entire day. When we went to Walmart, you said "'nana, 'nana, 'nana" about a million times until I finally showed you that YES we have bananas in our cart! You love those 'nanas! :) The day before yesterday, you had your 15 month check up. In the last 3 months you gained 3 pounds and grew two inches. No wonder you outgrow your clothes so fast!
I love you, my little man!
Love,
Mama
P.S. Now for the embarrassing part...quit pooping in the tub!!! It's really gross!

Easton,
Holy cow! You said three new words in one day yesterday! In the morning you said "yogurt" (gogo) , later in the day you said "sock" (soc) and when Daddy came home you cracked us up when you said "star". It came out more like TAR over and over but by golly you finally said it. Too cute! You have quite the vocabulary now. You say "nana" (for Nana and also banana), "bo" (which can mean book, bear, or ball), of course "mama" and "dada". You can tell us what a cow says (mmm), what a monkey says (ooh, ooh, hoo), what a snake says (ssss) and what a lion says (roar). I love at the end of every book when we close the book and you say "the end". You are so smart! It's just amazing to me when I think about all the new things you do. Where is my little baby? In some ways I kinda miss that sweet little snuggly boy but I am so excited to see who you are growing up to be. You are constantly in motion these days. It's a very special thing when I get to snuggle with you or when you let me rock you a few minutes and sing to you. Most of the time you just really don't want to be still enough for that but those rare times you decide you need some cuddle time with Mama are the highlight of my day.
I'm trying very hard to quit calling you my "baby" because you are growing up more every day.
I love you, my little man!
Love,
Mama
P.S. Thanks for being a good napper! Mama takes a nap when you do and these days I really need it!

Easton,
Sweet boy, it is 9:08 pm and I can still hear you in your room next door talking to yourself. I know you don't want to go to sleep and miss all the fun you think Mama and Daddy are having but Daddy is watching Glenn Beck on tv and Mama is working on a research paper. Trust me, you are not missing anything! We had such a fun day today playing in the living room and being silly but if you don't go to sleep soon, you'll be cranky tomorrow for sure! Go to sleep!
Love,
Mama
P.S. On second thought, the later you stay up, the later you're likely to sleep tomorrow. Mama's gonna be up for a while working on this paper and might not get to bed for a while. Go ahead and stay up as long as you want but just make sure to sleep later and not be cranky tomorrow, OK? :)

P.P.S. I got an award! More on that when I am not procrastinating writing a research paper. But I just really wanted to say "Wowee! Thanks!" to Okie Sister. Love you!

Easton,
It's pretty cute that you are learning where your belly button is and love to pull up your shirt when someone asks "Where's Easton's belly?" It is entirely another story to do it to a grownup. Mama and Daddy don't mind so much but the first time you do this to someone other than us, I don't know if I'll be able to hold it together. Just thought you should know.
Goodness knows what will happen when we teach you names for the rest of your body parts. Hehe
Love,
Mama

The posts from my homework folder... all letters to Easton written AFTER I was done with my homework. No procrastination for once! :)

Easton,
You said banana for the first time today. You were playing in the living room floor with your plastic fruit. You held up the bananas and said "'Nana". Daddy and I couldn't believe it! Sure, you've eaten bananas before and I'm sure we've said "Easton, this is a banana" but it's not like we sat down with you and said "Easton, this plastic fruit right here is a BANANA. Can you say banana?" And plus, we haven't bought any bananas in weeks! You sure do have a good memory, little man! The very next day, you and I went to the grocery store and I let you pick out your own 'nanas to eat. You got very mad when I wouldn't let you have one right there in the store. But eww gross! I can't let you eat a green banana, no matter how much you might try to convince me otherwise.
Love,
Mama

Easton,
We had lunch today with Ms. Katy at the Snow White Grill in old town Winchester. The place has been around forever and we finally had a chance to stop in. It's a tiny little place with only about 20 seats at a long counter. It was an adventure trying to eat there with you on my lap. You had a grilled cheese sandwich and french fries. Well, mostly you had grilled cheese and ketchup. You kept sucking all the ketchup off the fries and putting them back in the basket. Through careful manipulation and lots of baby wipes and napkins, we both managed to get out of there with only minor ketchup on our shirts. They had blue Christmas ornaments hanging over the counter. You tried so hard to reach them! Then Ms. Katy tried to reach one and couldn't. When I tried to reach one and did, you made us all laugh with a well-timed "WOW!". My little guy, for now I am drinking in the fact that such a minor little thing impresses you. For now, mama does magic! One day you will not be so easily impressed and that will be a sad day indeed.
Love,
Mama

Easton,
Our friends Ms. Katy, Jessica, Brett and Olivia came over for dinner and games tonight. You and Olivia had a fun time playing in your little toy corner in the living room. When it was bedtime, you had a hard time sleeping. Later that night, you woke up with a fever and runny nose. We think you are either coming down with a cold or trying to finally get some teeth. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Love,
Mama

Saturday, Jan 10, 2009
Easton,
You woke up with a new tooth this morning! And you DO have a cold afterall. Poor guy! You must be feeling crummy. You've been running a fever off and on all night and into today but don't seem to be too affected by that to let it interfere with your playing. You said "Want 'nana" today. It's the first time you've put two words together to tell us what you want. Yay, Easton! Also, we're working on teaching you to clap and to point to different parts of your body when asked. You have absolutely no interest in that game though. You look at me like I'm crazy if I ask you where your nose is. Kinda like "Mama, I know darn well where my nose is. Why are you asking me such a silly question?" OK, maybe we'll not play that game for a while. :) You are obsessed with bananas. Every day you ask for "nana" every single time you are anywhere near the kitchen. You eat two of them for breakfast with a whole bottle or cup of milk and still want more. We're gradually trying to get you to switch from bottles to cups. You want no part of sippy cups. It's either a bottle or a big boy cup with straw. Hopefully you decide once and for all that you like big kid cups and don't care for bottles any more but for now, you've gotta have that morning bottle. The other two meals, you're fine with a cup but it's gotta be a bottle after breakfast. That's OK. We'll work on that. And also if we could just get you to stop throwing EVERYTHING in the floor! I keep telling Daddy we need a dog just to eat all the food you throw on the floor. He's not going for it, so could you knock it off with the throwing stuff? I'm tired of sweeping the floor!
Love,
Mama

Easton,
I love you, you little goofball but fake coughing so that I'll come check on you is not how you get out of taking a nap. Go to sleep!
Love,
Mama
