We headed down Wednesday afternoon and didn't come home until Sunday morning! I was a little apprehensive about staying in a hotel with a 2 1/2 year old and an almost 1 year old (which, btw how is that even possible!?), but really it turned out great and we had such a fun time!!</div><div><br /></div><div>We did lots of swimming, shopping, sightseeing and making creative use of all of our time! Unfortunately our trip ended with our first visit to the ER. Unlike most people who like to sleep in at hotels, our little buddy, Easton thought the early morning was the best time to party. Haha, so Brice, being the nice husband that he is, offered to take Easton out of the hotel room so that Emma Kate and I could sleep in. They went down to the lobby to get some coffee and in the process of putting the sleeve on a cup of coffee it accidentally got knocked over and spilled all over Easton's foot causing a 2nd degree burn! It was so incredibly sad to see him in such pain, but they fixed him up with a shot of demerol and a nice bandage and we were on our way out of town. :) </div><div><br /></div><div>So although our trip didn't end all that well, overall it was such a fun visit and I definitely think we'll be tagging along again next time! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxfRsiIoEV1Jc7oqlicdPC7Iy2wITrgWv9pJfy2J3ZqGl-NFBD2reN7RqFQ-HJjEG_7oEJnwC5HU6mEg1qSvbpLxqJrk5Lmmgf6cfoqtHjPdUA2qfSNWRJnWfVgzWCSgYSUu4Kg/s1600/IMG_7652.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxfRsiIoEV1Jc7oqlicdPC7Iy2wITrgWv9pJfy2J3ZqGl-NFBD2reN7RqFQ-HJjEG_7oEJnwC5HU6mEg1qSvbpLxqJrk5Lmmgf6cfoqtHjPdUA2qfSNWRJnWfVgzWCSgYSUu4Kg/s400/IMG_7652.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469011290611851154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ready for the first (of many!) swim of the season</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDSbXwjc9iqB525v6LLxP6FTqNQsK_XkXbegpIz0ZtDU_MI42w9MzMuJ9V_pursUlr3l6OClBqO3EsO2hdf9D1jyBuOmfCgUBXEJLHSaO4OzDBDJ98ZV2jSMiOaRgabKeajRVsw/s1600/IMG_7653.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDSbXwjc9iqB525v6LLxP6FTqNQsK_XkXbegpIz0ZtDU_MI42w9MzMuJ9V_pursUlr3l6OClBqO3EsO2hdf9D1jyBuOmfCgUBXEJLHSaO4OzDBDJ98ZV2jSMiOaRgabKeajRVsw/s400/IMG_7653.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469011302859192866" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Look how big he is!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8mUQ3BrIJxB99yBfEaJ0_SQyDSld-l0xJjk-xZe-4cjEs4T0GtBT6C1zK6TWnJX4K9uSIwmRPu0i8YatT2jsGYFz9jEHMMsSBVwRIRj3h5nEpdjEp0qvZDsZvU2FbJoh3tOtwg/s1600/IMG_7658.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8mUQ3BrIJxB99yBfEaJ0_SQyDSld-l0xJjk-xZe-4cjEs4T0GtBT6C1zK6TWnJX4K9uSIwmRPu0i8YatT2jsGYFz9jEHMMsSBVwRIRj3h5nEpdjEp0qvZDsZvU2FbJoh3tOtwg/s400/IMG_7658.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469011310781205538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This picture cracks me up!

As we have been celebrating Emma Kate's special day today I have to stop and think what a special day this is for Easton as well! I just can't believe he's already six month old. The last six months have flown by, and yet at the same time it feels as if Easton has been a part of our family forever. I really can't imagine our lives without him in it, and although there have been many difficult days I feel so blessed that God chose me to be his mommy. I trust that God has been growing us in our faith through those difficult times and that we love Jesus more because Easton is a part of our family!<div><br /></div><div>Happy HALF Birthday Easton Brice!</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's what Easton is up to at 6 months:</div><div>-has the sweetest, most precious smile in the whole world...I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that toothless grin!</div><div>-rolling all over the place now</div><div>-loves to kick his feet, we seriously can't keep socks on the boy!</div><div>-his favorite toy is "<a href="http://www.landofnod.com/family.aspx?c=9942&f=201">Sophie</a>"</div><div>-eats every 3 hours during the day</div><div>-we are planning on starting solids next week (we tried cereal a few weeks ago, but he really didn't like it, so we decided to put it off for a few more weeks!)</div><div>-weighed 17 lbs. 9 oz. at the dr. a couple of weeks ago</div><div>-loves to bounce in his jumper</div><div>-thinks his sister is pretty funny (as long as she's not tackling him! :))</div><div>-will smile and coo at just about anyone!</div><div>-and finally, I'm SOOOO HAPPY to report that his sleeping is MUCH better. Thanks to lots of encouragement from Denae, I decided to finally take away the swaddle and just let him cry it out. Monday was extremely hard - he cried for about an hour and a half in the morning and about 2 hours straight that afternoon, but has slept most of the night since. He has been going to bed about 7:30 and then I get up to feed him around 4:30 or 5 and then he goes right back to sleep until 7:30 or 8. I know this isn't technically all through the night, but it's SO much better than getting up every single hour, now if he wakes up in the middle of the night he cries for a few minutes and just puts himself right back to sleep! (let's hope I didn't just jinx myself! :))</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQGIoelOFjTHFodqmFfTGgPmfSoxUEOCUhiSZau0D28P-j1GF5WdmqLcEOoDKq0144IVXabMYDTtHDQl2ltWGG6-wBp2aH9fVJimoLSkxV0AedFbTjSgvoHvFf7sKl8j8nVltb-A/s1600-h/foster_9274ecbw-web.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQGIoelOFjTHFodqmFfTGgPmfSoxUEOCUhiSZau0D28P-j1GF5WdmqLcEOoDKq0144IVXabMYDTtHDQl2ltWGG6-wBp2aH9fVJimoLSkxV0AedFbTjSgvoHvFf7sKl8j8nVltb-A/s400/foster_9274ecbw-web.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411472350283413538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>**be sure to check out the post below on my big 2 year old!</div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-48900284478026079972009-12-04T10:50:00.001-08:002009-12-04T11:29:16.869-08:002<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqc-ubil4sjQgwzOGHzPfDfUMaBSPWG1WL3LzmbmJyOV9Wo4Qehv0KqTJJx-YIE_jF3AOF5Whf8YGcPZXwOK_BiczfcfmuTmmGezpzwwk-miLN-fpckx80KDjW6JhEikhumfIlg/s1600-h/foster_9123ec-web.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqc-ubil4sjQgwzOGHzPfDfUMaBSPWG1WL3LzmbmJyOV9Wo4Qehv0KqTJJx-YIE_jF3AOF5Whf8YGcPZXwOK_BiczfcfmuTmmGezpzwwk-miLN-fpckx80KDjW6JhEikhumfIlg/s400/foster_9123ec-web.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411462858556103138" /></a><br />Two years ago today was one of the most exciting days of my life. I had waited for what seemed like an eternity to hold our precious baby and the day couldn't have been more perfect. I had no idea how much joy a baby could bring to our family, and I'm so grateful for the way God chose to bless us. The past two years hold so many, many precious memories of watching Emma Kate grow and develop, and I look forward to watching her continue to change. So today instead of being sad that my "baby" isn't really a baby anymore, I'm going to rejoice with eager anticipation of what the Lord is going to do with her precious life!!<div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTKdgb_CtfxLfs9ozkGS6LvPE34K9zvFlW3rEDrv3uFjtbFIU6DQDL2WdXEpMb3abbSY4ATVyjC1QhAEBg9y1GS8jyu3b9cWbrNFFkkMTph27aNVYXlJkr5Hqs4uyNfXeEMgjN8g/s1600-h/delivery+and+week+1+091.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTKdgb_CtfxLfs9ozkGS6LvPE34K9zvFlW3rEDrv3uFjtbFIU6DQDL2WdXEpMb3abbSY4ATVyjC1QhAEBg9y1GS8jyu3b9cWbrNFFkkMTph27aNVYXlJkr5Hqs4uyNfXeEMgjN8g/s400/delivery+and+week+1+091.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411463926373394978" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>HAPPY BIRTHDAY Emma Kate, Mommy and Daddy love you SO MUCH! </div><div><br /></div><div>And just to document a little, here's what EK is up to at 2 Years:</div><div><br /></div><div>-she's a chatter box, and recently loves to talk on the phone</div><div>-is still a really good eater, right now she loves chicken nuggets (she can eat a 6 piece kid's meal at Chic-Fil-A!), broccoli, yogurt, waffles (until recently since there's been a shortage at the grocery store), cereal with milk, and of course any kind of candy!</div><div>-her favorite tv show is Little Einsteins, she watches it every morning while eating breakfast (although Disney Fairies is quickly rising in rank with her!)</div><div>-she can put on her own shoes</div><div>-it's been a long process, but she's doing really well with potty training - hopefully we will be completely finished in the next month or so!</div><div>-she loves her brother so much, anytime he's fussing or crying she will say, "It's alright buddy, you're ok Eason boy!"</div><div>-she knows Brice and I's names, for some reason it really cracks me up to hear her call me Kristin!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh08snilPKhhCF0uHU3S_J50bCmSlCK5lXJP7tjy_d03czCQnbqKWxkua1ZLZdW_oScPlGhMirv7PvQ33Y4V4XnTrafrZd_EpyH89dEHgIJUz3EIylmKhUXVbjliumHbeEDOGggrQ/s1600-h/IMG_6613.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh08snilPKhhCF0uHU3S_J50bCmSlCK5lXJP7tjy_d03czCQnbqKWxkua1ZLZdW_oScPlGhMirv7PvQ33Y4V4XnTrafrZd_EpyH89dEHgIJUz3EIylmKhUXVbjliumHbeEDOGggrQ/s400/IMG_6613.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411462880533621842" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Coloring with Daddy on her new table this morning!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYSnAUcdqCzvpjhES-l0CSIzwEoXhkKwpZcZq2jGHBEiImp7kuUs0j3j6W6LSjPWAT7uXVH7RbH1GFwv58qt3k7q-nBiw0GziKsAiKkpMJkr1mexrXL-IccKOsSzarz_hODjLnvg/s1600-h/IMG_6617.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYSnAUcdqCzvpjhES-l0CSIzwEoXhkKwpZcZq2jGHBEiImp7kuUs0j3j6W6LSjPWAT7uXVH7RbH1GFwv58qt3k7q-nBiw0GziKsAiKkpMJkr1mexrXL-IccKOsSzarz_hODjLnvg/s400/IMG_6617.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411465217418744962" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHbw9gkDCOBNZVTj-JJfBRZYGIjNwfcReFDWx_cMBlrqrahyphenhyphenF3ZvVziygUPCM8csfm9XDFgTA_xAC_M0ZyeALF0Ytul-SjHm8TmhzgqIrgZWhJjpIzciif2gJLmkVA2GbKuCCIQ/s1600-h/IMG_6622.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHbw9gkDCOBNZVTj-JJfBRZYGIjNwfcReFDWx_cMBlrqrahyphenhyphenF3ZvVziygUPCM8csfm9XDFgTA_xAC_M0ZyeALF0Ytul-SjHm8TmhzgqIrgZWhJjpIzciif2gJLmkVA2GbKuCCIQ/s400/IMG_6622.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411462873327703506" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My BIG girl!</div></div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-36185484595886742342009-12-02T12:38:00.001-08:002009-12-02T14:40:49.573-08:00Catch Up!<div style="text-align: left;">Wow, I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post.

I gave him three different options of where we could be going but told him that he wouldn't know where until we showed up at the airport. Well, anyone that knows me, knows that I'm NOT very good at keeping secrets. I was dying to tell him where we were going! A couple of weeks before the trip I ended up spilling the beans, but I was still able to surprise him with a few other fun things during the trip. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>We stayed at the Trump International and it was absolutely beautiful. It was originally built to be condos, so it didn't have a casino in it, but we didn't really care because we really don't gamble anyway. Each room had it's own kitchen, sitting area and a gigantic bathroom! The only downfall of the hotel was that it was on the far north end of the strip and it was quite a walk to get anywhere, but other than that it was perfect, besides we needed to do a little walking with all that we ate while we were there!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKfVtkguTsZMDEYcfT_oTUrmJ3VrGkB9iQnS6WFIP5hV3L9myEER7DM2V2k4OJ-XPbmY2LLt23WdLUyOZ7mstMBChOLJBstdnDlt6t9pK2cw7Ex3VnRg6skt7r5XXU1GNngLXwfg/s1600-h/IMG_6548_2.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKfVtkguTsZMDEYcfT_oTUrmJ3VrGkB9iQnS6WFIP5hV3L9myEER7DM2V2k4OJ-XPbmY2LLt23WdLUyOZ7mstMBChOLJBstdnDlt6t9pK2cw7Ex3VnRg6skt7r5XXU1GNngLXwfg/s400/IMG_6548_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410766167105887810" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikybaQHpyMrC84P6CEhouKFFxiFLoWWgrU1mtusnrjUaFeAm3l41MYygEo6BC5MimTp7MW6ol2DdDf1TP-XAGJ8Jy9e-P5Y6ad6Vfi8PTsEt_rS-C_C-IV0KXTOpt995ti5567Vw/s1600-h/IMG_6460.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikybaQHpyMrC84P6CEhouKFFxiFLoWWgrU1mtusnrjUaFeAm3l41MYygEo6BC5MimTp7MW6ol2DdDf1TP-XAGJ8Jy9e-P5Y6ad6Vfi8PTsEt_rS-C_C-IV0KXTOpt995ti5567Vw/s400/IMG_6460.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410764937388429474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViBOOFXKLQ7wD7yYpeAMHd8_uWadbNSPargSEKQZBeRtyO5Hu7GNLykfyPEn4t4PfdReHMKm5SP-PfEu25dGUwT3hcw5pK-To0zkrBMHst0oPpOr4xkX3ky8-DIX0ptdt1ltMQw/s1600-h/IMG_6459.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViBOOFXKLQ7wD7yYpeAMHd8_uWadbNSPargSEKQZBeRtyO5Hu7GNLykfyPEn4t4PfdReHMKm5SP-PfEu25dGUwT3hcw5pK-To0zkrBMHst0oPpOr4xkX3ky8-DIX0ptdt1ltMQw/s400/IMG_6459.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410764955302084914" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24d3mW7yKbKAP4mLe0DpzMaDcBHUy1OUx6oFvtG3QBJuzQpDnIZMyW3mjdrdPPyPf9DoqbWpm3mSLRQsbKXRD4mZLmCX5U2h3lczxiev2dOAioSHcdbLIReersDFP8xNWaTAP7A/s1600-h/IMG_6415.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24d3mW7yKbKAP4mLe0DpzMaDcBHUy1OUx6oFvtG3QBJuzQpDnIZMyW3mjdrdPPyPf9DoqbWpm3mSLRQsbKXRD4mZLmCX5U2h3lczxiev2dOAioSHcdbLIReersDFP8xNWaTAP7A/s400/IMG_6415.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410762284441803618" style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /></div><div>The first day we were there I surprised Brice and took him to Bobby Flay's restaurant Mesa Grill.

(And his coconut layer cake didn't either!! :)) Afterwards we walked down to New York, New York and road the roller coaster. I had ridden it before when my sister got married in Vegas 6 years ago, but wow, I didn't remember it being so scary! I think I'm getting old because I screamed the entire time! And later that afternoon we went to the movies. Yes, we went to the movies in Vegas, haha! Anyone that knows my husband well won't be all that surprised. We went to see 2012, the movie wasn't all that great but several scenes take place in Vegas, so that was kind of neat! </div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPL1ms0odaPncuS2kv5aU3qxyytq36QMci4BVWdwzLccmZoPqxITcT5uVDarOf_zQ2sDUUNAXEb9NDjSiL49XOq0C3Co4WRz2LJZLVhsDUBzaPoAYYcAe7fHS65aFWWKeUaxtT4w/s1600-h/IMG_6422.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPL1ms0odaPncuS2kv5aU3qxyytq36QMci4BVWdwzLccmZoPqxITcT5uVDarOf_zQ2sDUUNAXEb9NDjSiL49XOq0C3Co4WRz2LJZLVhsDUBzaPoAYYcAe7fHS65aFWWKeUaxtT4w/s400/IMG_6422.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410763659013947298" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10-qzCfE42H8H7syStV4wh66OkGmQ15Sdho7Geb9DJmpiiG7OWxgQmtHHyeR9jarRfmXo4gV5xwJ4-6iNDh4W2x0a0ta0EKhT2Wu1_gBc7zdmjuje_E1b3ThpDDQCOKl1QMNKZA/s1600-h/IMG_6427.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10-qzCfE42H8H7syStV4wh66OkGmQ15Sdho7Geb9DJmpiiG7OWxgQmtHHyeR9jarRfmXo4gV5xwJ4-6iNDh4W2x0a0ta0EKhT2Wu1_gBc7zdmjuje_E1b3ThpDDQCOKl1QMNKZA/s400/IMG_6427.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410763666685023106" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlwXJOfyn0q30b3BqTt0P5MhJipu846eOkXTs00XWSXpSZmLrhtJVGo20U7hDU4eWwuKkkVxxbyKkfGbo7JZ-bYZ725Lz8EWGYA_aBGcLtp0H0HbbomxaIQL9h1PnJz1aSYwrSbw/s1600-h/IMG_6431.JPG"><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlwXJOfyn0q30b3BqTt0P5MhJipu846eOkXTs00XWSXpSZmLrhtJVGo20U7hDU4eWwuKkkVxxbyKkfGbo7JZ-bYZ725Lz8EWGYA_aBGcLtp0H0HbbomxaIQL9h1PnJz1aSYwrSbw/s400/IMG_6431.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410763685323313138" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMDfVHDPRxc9p33NyVnNxqku8HCW5ZOC2RUMxpbpxp4Td7zhwIHOxL2HW9wuxbg90BTGTscUjVX2XdCiGJ1rArJkJcrujJpGv0wwxhKswsEI0kNN168ZdWwoLLLjwKFDz_ggnkw/s1600-h/IMG_6487.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMDfVHDPRxc9p33NyVnNxqku8HCW5ZOC2RUMxpbpxp4Td7zhwIHOxL2HW9wuxbg90BTGTscUjVX2XdCiGJ1rArJkJcrujJpGv0wwxhKswsEI0kNN168ZdWwoLLLjwKFDz_ggnkw/s400/IMG_6487.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410766141377361298" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyY_ejNjsezvI5qEeyqAKeHwedfOoUbiyEzEs2pmJfYGc4aZrt8g3BwBQurSCf1nDv-A9qg7nyKkqv7ddAUiWQqoj_hR8Kr4diY-feRUjAt5h8rvSlehozVwe40LavaqJzO0txkQ/s1600-h/IMG_6442.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyY_ejNjsezvI5qEeyqAKeHwedfOoUbiyEzEs2pmJfYGc4aZrt8g3BwBQurSCf1nDv-A9qg7nyKkqv7ddAUiWQqoj_hR8Kr4diY-feRUjAt5h8rvSlehozVwe40LavaqJzO0txkQ/s400/IMG_6442.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410763702794694770" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">The next day we got up and went downtown. Everyone told us that if we were going to gamble, that we needed to go downtown to do it because they had $5 blackjack tables. Well, after losing about $50 I convinced Brice that shopping at the outlet mall would be much more productive! :) I was so surprised he actually agreed! After shopping we went to eat a late lunch at Margaritaville, which was such a fun atmosphere. And then we headed over to the Mirage for the Beatles show Love. This was our first experience seeing a show in Vegas so we had no idea what to expect. The show was really good but we decided that whoever created it must have been tripped out on drugs because it was kind of "out there"!

Also, we put up a tree in her room for the first time this year and she just thinks that is too cool, in fact every night before bed she has to tell her tree "night, night"...too cute!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzHbU-ML05moFZ_L8BW8wsWNUiKj4tp2g4Z0p7E0mhnJj29D1Vq9VBPMzK0yfsfW5aF5djCgK5ObSIj9ec_S6bwEVG5fXIaNk9aNgOwHceuYoymN9IALjT5oTjmx_UVcncuDoVg/s1600-h/IMG_6577.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzHbU-ML05moFZ_L8BW8wsWNUiKj4tp2g4Z0p7E0mhnJj29D1Vq9VBPMzK0yfsfW5aF5djCgK5ObSIj9ec_S6bwEVG5fXIaNk9aNgOwHceuYoymN9IALjT5oTjmx_UVcncuDoVg/s400/IMG_6577.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410767209468065074" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUHif7ujcZ3r0vgzlC0q5zXSvXZDQEnCBfgj2pb43PPjKnMmUKjhjHwoBKvZLU3461ut45qInfwOiIEuIvNjeoZhggofQ2_wbUeSvV8L3aZ_UnY3ZLv3P6_ekBhyaxI2GzyAx2jA/s1600-h/IMG_6582.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUHif7ujcZ3r0vgzlC0q5zXSvXZDQEnCBfgj2pb43PPjKnMmUKjhjHwoBKvZLU3461ut45qInfwOiIEuIvNjeoZhggofQ2_wbUeSvV8L3aZ_UnY3ZLv3P6_ekBhyaxI2GzyAx2jA/s400/IMG_6582.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410767220812820322" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div></div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-42233881746307592009-10-30T12:05:00.001-07:002009-10-30T12:48:19.870-07:00The Pumpkin and Milestones<div style="text-align: left;">We finally got around to decorating Emma Kate's pumpkin this morning (since Halloween is tomorrow and all!).

It's so encouraging to hear what others have done in similar situations and to know that I'm not the only one going through sleepless nights!! I ended up taking him to the doctor last Monday because I was convinced that with all the crying there must be something wrong (like an ear infection or something) but everything checked out ok, so Dr. Gray decided to increase his reflux medication in hopes that that is what was causing him so much discomfort. This definitely hasn't been a "cure all" but he does seem to be less fussy the last few days. And a huge praise, he's been taking a bottle much better the last couple of days as well! I have been putting the activity mat up on my bed (away from big sister!) and laying him on it while feeding him and he's actually taken several whole bottles, yay! I'm still holding my breath, because I know we're not completely over the hump yet, but we're definitely making strides.

Recently there have been several times where I just want to sit down and throw a major fit, and to be honest I have been feeling extremely inadequate these days. I want so badly for my blog to be uplifting and a fun way to look back at all the exciting milestones in Emma Kate and Easton's life, but right now I just feel a little bogged down with the struggles of parenting. <div><br /><div>So....I have decided to say "help, please" and see if any of you have any advice to help us out. It seems as if Easton has quite the strong will and is now refusing to take a bottle altogether. Emma Kate went through this so when Easton started resisting the bottle I thought no big deal - I'll just do what I did with Emma Kate, be patient and try as many different bottles as possible until he finds one he likes. Well, we have now tried: born free, avent, breast flow, adiri, nuby, and nuk all with no avail! It's not that I am ready to quit nursing, but we're going out of town in November for 4 days and for my mom's sanity I'm pretty sure she would appreciate if he was taking a bottle by then! :) The other major thing we have been struggling with lately is sleep. I know that we were so fortunate with Emma Kate that she was sleeping through the night by about 8 week, but I thought surely by 4 1/2 months Easton would be. But unfortunately it seems to be getting worse every night. He's gone from waking up once maybe twice to eat to waking up every 30-45 minutes with maybe a 2 hour stretch somewhere in there. We stopped using the Nap Nanny and tried just laying him flat in his crib which worked for a little while, but then after a few days he was back to waking up all the time. And we used to be able to use the swing as a last resort, but that hasn't even been working here lately. :( We have been toying with the idea of doing the cry it out method, but we still swaddle and I'm not sure if that would work since he would probably work himself out of the swaddle if we let him cry. And my other concern with this is that EK is an extremely light sleeper so I'm afraid then we would just have two babies awake in the middle of the night! </div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, enough of my ranting...but honestly any suggestions are welcome! :) </div><div><br /></div><div>And I guess I will leave you on a happy note. I took this video the other night during bath time. I can't help but think my baby girl is SO smart! :)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; "><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dsRru81aJaA&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dsRru81aJaA&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></span></div></div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-45462193754862025032009-09-07T08:15:00.001-07:002009-09-07T08:32:11.509-07:003 Months<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5aiiJf5OUeSN4_7Uva9ihqIS4XIyXCE_LvWj1e49PuXpkYH_ajnaga3QYkwIgV3FZxNY0jvTUSw9rYwHM22EXDGWKQc3hRPsVndgoUaCOc8Z_TxqJWSQhMJjUgzK__RDubRfvEw/s1600-h/0024.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5aiiJf5OUeSN4_7Uva9ihqIS4XIyXCE_LvWj1e49PuXpkYH_ajnaga3QYkwIgV3FZxNY0jvTUSw9rYwHM22EXDGWKQc3hRPsVndgoUaCOc8Z_TxqJWSQhMJjUgzK__RDubRfvEw/s400/0024.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378747835789549634" /></a><br />Easton turned three months last Friday.

We really aren't pushing it right now, basically just letting her try to go before she gets in the bath, but we were SO proud of her! She has gone a couple other time since...I'm pretty sure her favorite part is the treat (an M&M) she gets afterward. She spends lots of time in the bathroom yelling "TREAT", but then she doesn't want me to take her diaper off once I get in there! Haha, I know it will come with time and everyone says it's so much easier once they are ready so in the mean time I guess we will have to go to Sam's to get more diapers! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Preschool:</div><div style="text-align: center;">School starts next week and we are so excited! We will be going to a new preschool this fall; while I usually don't like change I think this change will be really good for our family. We have had inservice this week so Emma Kate has already been up there a few days and had a chance to meet her teacher and make some new friends as well. I will be working with babies 4-9 months this year. I know I will miss being able to actually teach, but at the same time I'm really looking forward to much less prep-work and I'm really excited about the other teachers that in the baby room with me! And an even bigger bonus - Easton will be moved up to our room in just a couple of months. Hopefully it will be a really fun year!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Easton was especially happy this morning, so I got out the video camera. I couldn't resist sharing, but PLEASE ignore my extremely annoying voice.

I think every mom says "I can't believe my baby is already ___ months old" but it's just so true...and I think it goes by even faster with the 2nd. Here's a little of what's going on in our little man's life at 2 months:<div><br /></div><div><ul><li>He is an extremely cuddly baby and LOVES to be held, his favorite place to be is snuggled up in your arms with his paci. (just the opposite of his big sister at this age...she didn't like to be rocked at all, anytime she was fussy all she wanted was the swing!)</li><li>Although he prefers to be held, he is starting to be a lot more content in the bouncer, swing or the activity mat.</li><li>His tummy issues are starting to subside as well, praise the Lord! He started going to the bathroom on his own a couple of weeks ago and now he goes every day or at least every other day. This is such a relief to us...I never thought I would be so consumed with poo! haha :)</li><li>He started really smiling about a week and a half ago. And let me just tell you, one big smile will make up for lots of fussiness!! Every time he smiles it just melts my heart! He has also started cooing and it is so sweet. </li><li>We go to the doctor this afternoon so I don't know exactly how much he weighs, but I'm guessing a lot....he is SO chunky!! He is already outgrowing 3 month clothing, and he could probably wear size 2 diapers, but we have a whole box of 1-2's that we're trying to get rid of first. </li></ul><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAwnL5RMr3gE7yugmq4wE58KRBLzYVW1bKAPRmfuvfWhdL6RrkyAhm5TIG-FbnaCL8r5tFR2K384PACQgS_bsO_rNu3y2Q2gSDa0PKVAtLrOG0YFosdo3CtuawkFO_8nqL6cN46A/s1600-h/IMG_0054.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAwnL5RMr3gE7yugmq4wE58KRBLzYVW1bKAPRmfuvfWhdL6RrkyAhm5TIG-FbnaCL8r5tFR2K384PACQgS_bsO_rNu3y2Q2gSDa0PKVAtLrOG0YFosdo3CtuawkFO_8nqL6cN46A/s400/IMG_0054.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368394877455900834" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQRfX9EyHslXp_kZflH6FJuZD5ymXo7Gj9yo-hu14jzH2n4Poo-pN8XJMxBz97nizFU-5cxP5uzsivUNvCvh6JYTx3wZfJ0eXL3UPAdeaLWiIx_AOPhrzSHGKmDsBe5HG-uHShww/s1600-h/IMG_0057.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQRfX9EyHslXp_kZflH6FJuZD5ymXo7Gj9yo-hu14jzH2n4Poo-pN8XJMxBz97nizFU-5cxP5uzsivUNvCvh6JYTx3wZfJ0eXL3UPAdeaLWiIx_AOPhrzSHGKmDsBe5HG-uHShww/s400/IMG_0057.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368394884624487746" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrtrDXN6q87AZWPFzTV-ZD9DBEJevf1yf33DS-8SJy_xPE7t4RTCeGmj7EMo6VI261QODKVHmlP_j_3e1U3nkYZcPyJdtXATBKvxsfX7EZ77wYgj3DDiBkx_bvARdPa3vJEnhnSQ/s1600-h/IMG_0061.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrtrDXN6q87AZWPFzTV-ZD9DBEJevf1yf33DS-8SJy_xPE7t4RTCeGmj7EMo6VI261QODKVHmlP_j_3e1U3nkYZcPyJdtXATBKvxsfX7EZ77wYgj3DDiBkx_bvARdPa3vJEnhnSQ/s400/IMG_0061.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368394889368581250" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, thanks for all the advice with Emma Kate. We have started letting her go to sleep with her babies and stuffed animals and this seems to be helping. I think our next step will be to put the little things on the door knobs, hopefully it won't come to that because I know this will really make her upset!</div><div><br /></div><div>I just love her to death and she brings so much joy to our lives. It truly breaks my heart to see her so resistant to authority and have to be disciplined so much throughout the day. I know that much of it is just her age right now (and I definitely know it could be much worse). God is revealing so many things to me through Emma Kate. As a parent I just want what is best for my children, and even though disciplining them is extremely hard, I know it's what is best. Jeremiah 32:41 says "I will <i>rejoice</i> in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul." It's so comforting to know that God rejoices in doing good for his children, even though at times it means we have to endure discipline. Hebrews 12:11 also says, "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." It is my prayer that this discipline yields a peaceful fruit of righteousness in Emma Kate (and myself), and also that next time I am going through discipline that I will rejoice in knowing that God is merely trying to bring about a change in my life! </div></div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-66421151250553412132009-08-03T11:08:00.001-07:002009-08-03T11:36:14.258-07:00Random Questions<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><ul><li>How is it possible that my baby is 2 months old tomorrow?? (more to come on that later)</li><li>I had to call the dr's office this morning to get Easton's 2 month well check changed since we are going to be out of town, and they told me that our dr is booked until October. What?! Is this normal?? We will now have to see the nurse practitioner, which I don't mind because we really like her, but I just thought this was really strange.</li><li>How in the world do you get a 20 month old to stay in bed at nap time and bedtime?? Emma Kate has been in her big girl bed for about 4 months now. We had a hard time for about the first 2 weeks getting her to stay in bed, but after that she was perfect! She might talk and play on her bed for a while, but she would never get down. Well, starting about 3 weeks ago she has decided that she IS NOT going to bed without a fight. It started just at night, but now it's both nap time and bedtime. It seems to consistently take her at least an hour or more to go to sleep, and one day last week she missed her nap entirely. We have tried just about everything - putting her to bed later, timeout, spanking, rocking, ignoring....those of you who have been through this, what worked??</li><li>I'm contemplating having a garage sale - is it really worth all the work? I'm usually too lazy and just take all of our unwanted "junk" to Good Will, but I'm thinking we could at least make a little money instead of just giving it away. Anybody want to do it together??</li></ul><div>OK, I think that's all random questions on my mind right now.

We had a great time catching up with them and watching the kids all play together outside (not to mention Easton got some good snuggle time and attention!). It was a little overcast all day yesterday but we never got anything more than a few sprinkles so I figured we were good to eat outside. After dinner the clouds were getting pretty dark, but Mike assured us that he didn't think it was going to pour or anything...ha! Just about the time we got the kids all set up with their desserts it started pouring down rain! They were all under the umbrella on Emma Kate's table so we thought we would just let them stay out there until it passed. Well, as soon as it started thundering really loud Emma Kate decided she had had enough. So they all ran through the rain and continued their picnic inside!<div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpMLufxkOdDRXNfUq6ghr7BQFxWmCFpWs9E43rFdOZedr_OUqRJ5adK70l8YcsQ2xDmMcBCQ8idKPfnA4_zL2EarNZquqVi9jprDS0km5K4Fj0W64k1O2wSUXC8goM1c3vUhFdA/s400/IMG_5812.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363501721877676546" /><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTuF6tqD_gaX_yQToMsQF_i0ysOWlPot5ETANy-oBSwKYAXM39ORxIriqIi_7JLHtlR3QL1ZFxlBvzLaRfbwT0euXPPHTfGTDDHwef3iPwe29Fn1rGMphsmVRHvuuRJna1kc6i2Q/s1600-h/IMG_5814.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTuF6tqD_gaX_yQToMsQF_i0ysOWlPot5ETANy-oBSwKYAXM39ORxIriqIi_7JLHtlR3QL1ZFxlBvzLaRfbwT0euXPPHTfGTDDHwef3iPwe29Fn1rGMphsmVRHvuuRJna1kc6i2Q/s400/IMG_5814.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363501726593712850" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishLvaa3tngZqTdlHlA_4RAcLy059bSg3xT8WKvmCV601k7qtdoL_zvX8PmwL-2gvvaXthWoqJ0WTUKAt7Pi1vJflBO2WoQicoyCC86fdLe8pUqSnApmn6IZ1T1YlLSwZv7FWdbw/s1600-h/IMG_5815.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishLvaa3tngZqTdlHlA_4RAcLy059bSg3xT8WKvmCV601k7qtdoL_zvX8PmwL-2gvvaXthWoqJ0WTUKAt7Pi1vJflBO2WoQicoyCC86fdLe8pUqSnApmn6IZ1T1YlLSwZv7FWdbw/s400/IMG_5815.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363501734558858194" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">And of course I couldn't do a post without a picture of my sweet chunky boy!

We were a little naive in thinking it was going to be smooth sailing like the first 2 weeks, but boy were we wrong! Poor little Easton has some major tummy issues and is just really uncomfortable. We went to see Dr. Gray yesterday and he diagnosed him with acid reflux and put him on Zantac, and also gave us some other suggestions to help with his tummy so hopefully we are on the road to relief. He hasn't gone to the bathroom on his own in over 3 weeks. Also I think he might be a little colicky. He cries just about every night from 5:30 until he goes to bed at about 9:30. It's just so hard to see your baby in so much pain and not be able to do anything about it! But even though it's been hard I wouldn't trade it for anything - we have fallen so in love with our little guy and can't imagine life without him!!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Over the last few weeks I have also realized how blessed we are to have such wonderful families. My mom has been a life-saver for me!! She comes over almost everyday to see us and keep us company. We haven't been able to get out much since Easton has been so fussy, so Emma Kate is always so thrilled to see someone other than mommy all day long (and so am I)!! And speaking of Emma Kate - she is just too funny these days. She has figured out how to open and close the doors at our house and she thinks that is just the neatest thing. The only downside is that her internal alarm clock is now set to about 6 or 6:30 and instead of just staying in her room to play, she gets out of her room, goes to Brice's side of the bed, gets right in his face and just starts laughing!

We visited Dr. Gray on Thursday and my suspicions that he was growing were confirmed....he weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 7 oz.!! That means he had gained 1 lb. and 2 oz. in just 2 weeks. I guess that's what happens when you're eating every 2 to 3 hours. :) He is continuing to do great and we are absolutely loving watching him grow and watching how he and Emma Kate interact. Most nights he still gets up every 3 hours, but a couple of nights this week he spoiled me and slept 4-5 hours! I'm hoping to see this more and more often as he gets older! <div><br /></div><div>Here are few more pictures of some of his firsts this week:<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhYBNJzj1ARbaQY2NYZYkUzapXrWs10Ou3RiN7CamHQdRwsla2gg68F82lpYUO1ZCY9mtqYoBSCEEdYg6FHdP8bO77oVUzAvuK8WSNlLgRwcbeYAsR1xpN2x9zUbTMQCboUtfjIw/s1600-h/IMG_5552.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhYBNJzj1ARbaQY2NYZYkUzapXrWs10Ou3RiN7CamHQdRwsla2gg68F82lpYUO1ZCY9mtqYoBSCEEdYg6FHdP8bO77oVUzAvuK8WSNlLgRwcbeYAsR1xpN2x9zUbTMQCboUtfjIw/s400/IMG_5552.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349467557776051266" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">His first night to sleep in his own bed</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFQbqc9DViYVTAhUcGeT3RoFAYJzsDCc4F-uJO8FoiNg2u5yQoFg9EYzVr1H2_Urm_S5pHT3dSEnf-m0Kp55D136nMVh5trFFh-d0WEhdoJ1lM09elq0HEampPa7m0QYjP6UgMbQ/s1600-h/IMG_5550.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFQbqc9DViYVTAhUcGeT3RoFAYJzsDCc4F-uJO8FoiNg2u5yQoFg9EYzVr1H2_Urm_S5pHT3dSEnf-m0Kp55D136nMVh5trFFh-d0WEhdoJ1lM09elq0HEampPa7m0QYjP6UgMbQ/s400/IMG_5550.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349467551899158850" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">First time going to church</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbFcb8snlFfdX2njbH-PYCDjymqIP4ksYu5gJdjkI1UUOqj7au7Bx2FFsMghcfvn79f0mmu9eQH_gGNYnaE7i5O6-poA4RIvDvy-4HZKCYNYoKdkOAbMF0F0QIGxYbA8jxh2_6A/s1600-h/IMG_5560.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbFcb8snlFfdX2njbH-PYCDjymqIP4ksYu5gJdjkI1UUOqj7au7Bx2FFsMghcfvn79f0mmu9eQH_gGNYnaE7i5O6-poA4RIvDvy-4HZKCYNYoKdkOAbMF0F0QIGxYbA8jxh2_6A/s400/IMG_5560.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349476732639853570" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">First bath (he wasn't too sure he liked it!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3HEuXh3jOkg_RHRiuEanVIGZFoHKY1c0_Wvk7wIEk-hzIYgVKyaX-8TXH28Wr_QsVLOK7C-LdgzCypfrql1S6WiC-mlzdDoJcNwO0e_Dj1s8kJnIqV3fG3Ln1UmNMoIJzgB1MA/s1600-h/IMG_5555.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3HEuXh3jOkg_RHRiuEanVIGZFoHKY1c0_Wvk7wIEk-hzIYgVKyaX-8TXH28Wr_QsVLOK7C-LdgzCypfrql1S6WiC-mlzdDoJcNwO0e_Dj1s8kJnIqV3fG3Ln1UmNMoIJzgB1MA/s400/IMG_5555.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349476737987713522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></span><div style="text-align: center;">His first visit out to LaLa and Pop's (he slept the whole time!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4vmq_EfRy7n915zki-dDU172hyphenhyphenYVp-VJjYnNFXizi-4Y-hb5RnC5fGBvjI2HpdzJOJoeyb2q_EodwxBqy5CB-667FsIMTj3UMTyk0WAUrePMNfTIFxC7HYinF4vrhwEF2D5Nig/s400/IMG_5568.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349464859709621810" /><div style="text-align: center;">And this isn't really a "first" I just thought this picture was adorable...he is really starting to focus more and more and he love to look in the mirror when I'm changing his diaper. </div></div></div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-50435509893326874262009-06-09T11:41:00.000-07:002009-06-09T12:36:57.091-07:00We're Home<div>Ok, bear with me, I normally upload all my pictures to Flickr so that I can move them around and put them in order, but both babies are about to wake up so I'm kind of in a hurry!!

</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Well, actually we have been home for several days, but I'm just now getting around to updating the blog. Hmm...can't imagine why?! HA! We came home from the hospital Saturday morning and have been going non-stop since. Emma Kate is adjusting really well, but she is definitely testing her limits. She absolutely loves Easton and can't seem to get enough of him. She calls him "BayBay" in a really deep voice, we can't figure out why she says it so funny - before he was born she would say "Baby" in a really sweet little voice, but not now! And she asks for him from the time she wakes up until it's time to go to bed. And of course we say "be gentle" about a gazillion times a day! But that's to be expected I guess. :) And Easton is adjusting really well too. He is such a sweet little baby and knock on wood is doing really well on a schedule. I'm trying to take advantage of this time where he's so sleepy because I know he will probably "wake up" soon! <div><br /></div><div>Easton's labor and delivery ended up being just about as smooth as Emma Kate's - praise the Lord! We got to the hospital around 6:45 in the morning, got started on pitocin and had my water broke around 8:30, experienced 2 hours of true contractions while waiting on the anesthesiologist (which I hope to never experience again - next time I'm not letting them start the pitocin til the anesthesiologist is in the room!! :)), 10:30 got an epidural, 11:15 was ready to push and Easton was born at 11:47! Other than my legs staying numb til 6:00 that night there really weren't any complications. <div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Thanks to everyone who came by to see our newest addition while we were in the hospital. We feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great friends and family. Easton is so lucky to have so many people that love him already!! </div><div><br /></div><div>And check out <a href="http://denaehutsonphotography.blogspot.com">Denae's</a> website - she's done it again! We had Easton's newborn pics taken yesterday and they are GREAT!!</div><div><br /></div></div></div>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-46421084393724168432009-06-06T09:09:00.000-07:002009-06-06T09:39:26.921-07:00Introducing Easton Brice Foster!Little Easton arrived on June 4th at 11:47am.

I can’t believe that today, on the day that we are welcoming our second child into the world, that our baby girl is turning a year and half! That seriously doesn’t seem possible. I feel like I expect so much out of her, and I often have to remind myself that she’s still just a baby herself. She has been such a joy in our lives and I’m so grateful that the Lord chose us and gave us the privilege of raising her. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I haven’t given an update of what she’s up to these days in a really long time, so I thought I would do so now. (who knows when I will get around to it again!)</p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul><li>She is a major chatterbox and can repeat just about anything you say!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Some of her favorite things to say are: milk, juice, chair, wapple (waffle), grapes, car, babeee, school, cheese (which she now says anytime she sees the camera!) mama, dada, Sydney, Lana. And she can name lots of animals, but here lately instead of calling them by their name she makes their sound instead…too cute!</li><li>She still loves to carry small bags around – she will often put on a hat, put a bag on her shoulder and walk around saying “Bye, Bye!!”</li><li>She loves to play under the sink and in the drawers in the bathroom while I’m getting ready. She will take everything out of the cabinets, line up all the bottles, and then put them all back in the cabinet. And she’s very attentive, she will try to copy exactly what I’m doing while I’m getting ready. One day she found the eyelash curler and put it right up to her eye!! I had no idea she even knew what to do with it! And I have an old hair straightener that I let her play with and she likes to pretend she straightening her hair.</li><li>She is still doing great in her big bed and has even spoiled us the last several days by sleeping in until 8!! I guess she knows she needs to catch up on sleep now too! :)</li><li>She L.O.V.E.S. Finding Nemo – the second we get in the car she points to the tv and says “Bobo??” (not really sure why she calls him Bobo!) And she will watch it over and over again, in fact we have to really distract her with other toys and singing and stuff or she would watch it the entire time we’re in the car. And she started watching Charlotte’s Webb last week too and she really seemed to like it as well. It’s the one with Dakota Fanning and real animals – it’s really such a cute movie!</li><li>She is still really attached to her pacifier – which she has strangely named “MiMi”. We really can’t figure out how she came up with that name, but anytime she gets really tired or upset she walks around saying “MiMi, MiMi, MiMi”. And she will only go to sleep if she has one in her mouth and at least one in her hand!! Crazy girl, I’m definitely wishing I hadn’t started her back on that back in February!! </li></ul><div>Like I said, she truly is such a source of joy in our lives. We look forward to watching her continue to grow and we pray daily for her salvation - that God would turn her heart towards Him and give her the faith to love and trust and obey Him...that He would be her Treasure!</div><p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08784148307507958749noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29573161.post-33673886341635642882009-05-20T11:03:00.000-07:002009-05-20T11:45:13.033-07:00Weekend Wedding and Easton's Nursery!This past weekend Brice's cousin, Cody, got married in Dallas. Dr. Burkholder didn't want me driving this late in the pregnancy, so Emma Kate and I hopped on a plane and met Brice and his parents there for all the festivities. Being big huge and pregnant with a very active 17 month old in an extremely tiny seat made for a very interesting flight, but we survived! I was just so thankful that the flight is only an hour long!! The rehearsal dinner was at a yummy restaurant called Cantina Laredo. Cody loves converse tennis shoes so that was the theme for the whole weekend. The center pieces on the tables at the rehearsal dinner were converse shoes with flower arrangements inside, there were tiny little converse key chains at each place setting, the grooms cake was a giant converse tennis shoe, all the groomsmen wore converse shoes with their tuxes, the flower girls wore pink converse shoes with their dresses, and the bride's maids even changed into pink converse shoes for the reception! It was really cute! And with Cody being an ex Tech quarterback it was quite a star-studded event. Jeremy Camp was a groomsman, and he and his wife sang several songs before and during the wedding! They are such a sweet family and really down to earth...if you didn't know who he was you would never guess that he's a famous musician. Their girls were 2 of the flower girls, and they are just as cute as can be!! Of course I was horrible about taking pictures so the only pictures I have are of Miss Priss. She wasn't feeling well all weekend (we found out Monday at the Dr. that she has a sinus infection that she's had for the last several weeks...poor baby!!) so she wasn't exactly on her best behavior, and because of this we weren't able to stay at the reception for very long. She did however manage to steal the show on the dance floor with another little girl. She kicked her shoes off and shook her booty like there was no tomorrow. At one point she started just running around in circles screaming which was when her daddy said it was time to leave! :)<div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3549554124/" title="IMG_5115 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3354/3549554124_6cca9f3346.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5115" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Getting ready to leave for the airport<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3549555712/" title="IMG_5136 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3356/3549555712_07ecdf47e6.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5136" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">She found the perfect play spot...under the sink!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3548749733/" title="IMG_5140 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/3548749733_542d8edace.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5140" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3549559130/" title="IMG_5148 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3549559130_3891c00269.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5148" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Swimming with daddy at the hotel<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3548753159/" title="IMG_5151 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3381/3548753159_e02e85b21c.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5151" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">We saw this face A LOT that weekend!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And we finally hung the new E in Easton's room last night so I took some pictures of the nursery today.

I am hoping for the 4th or the 5th...at our sonogram 2 weeks ago he was already 6 lbs. I'm still feeling really good and am so blessed to have such easy pregnancies, but it is getting kind of difficult to carry Emma Kate with this huge belly sticking out and my energy is decreasing rapidly! I just keep praying that I would truly be able to savor these last couple of weeks with just Emma Kate. I know her poor little world is going to turn upside down once he's here and I'm starting to get really anxious about being able to give her and Easton both the attention they need. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh, and one more piece of exciting news I almost forgot about.....<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">BRICE PASSED THE CFP!!!!!</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Thank you all so much for praying for him.

The first couple of days were a little tough, I had to rock her completely to sleep before laying her down, but now I can just lay her down wide awake and she goes to sleep on her own. We are so proud of her!!! And knock on wood she hasn't gotten out of her bed in the middle of the night either. There have been a few mornings that she has quietly woken up and just started playing too. I am so relieved that we have made this transition with ease. I'm not really sure why I was so anxious about it, but I had some major anxiety...I guess I just know how precious these last few weeks of sleep are! :)<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3490319804/" title="IMG_5048 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3306/3490319804_2c69de1401.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_5048" /></a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Her first time in the bed</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3489502637/" title="IMG_5052 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3538/3489502637_ca59704f3a.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_5052" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">She definitely thought it was playtime</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3490327154/" title="IMG_5061 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/3490327154_910d83a07e.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_5061" /></a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ahh...finally asleep!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And last weekend Emma Kate's Boppy and Chebe (Brice's parents) came to town and hooked her up for the summer. They got her a climber/slide and a pink Cozy Coupe. She LOVES to play outside so both of these are right up her alley. The first night we put the car together we literally had to drag her out of it when it was bedtime! So far she can only go backwards, but she's pretty ingenious and will get in the car, push herself backwards til she can't go anymore, get out of the car, push it to wherever she wants to go and then get back in the car! Haha, too funny! And she has had her afternoon snack while sitting <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">in</span> the car everyday this week! We have really been enjoying the last few days of really warm weather and not much wind...now if only it would get warm and stay warm! <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3490320634/" title="IMG_5063 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3557/3490320634_ac4d8689e0.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_5063" /></a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Playing with Dad in the box!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3490321688/" title="IMG_5064 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3333/3490321688_b1e4f07141.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_5064" /></a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What a BIG girl!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3490323180/" title="IMG_5067 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3657/3490323180_eb8d18e34e.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_5067" /></a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">WEEE!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3489508143/" title="IMG_5086 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3489508143_d031af9485.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5086" /></a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Snack time...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3489509103/" title="IMG_5093 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3605/3489509103_d2d2c03b13.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5093" /></a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pushing the car</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23541863@N07/3490326070/" title="IMG_5099 by kristin.foster@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3490326070_5406d84128.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_5099" /></a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oh SO fun!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;">And I've taken a few pictures of Easton's room all put together, but I ordered <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22411049">this </a>from etsy and we hung it up last weekend and I hate it!
