Easton is a big boy...3 months old!

Our little E is the definite missing piece to our little family puzzle. It's been almost a year since finding out we were expecting him. While our initial reaction was disbelief and fear, we are so incredibly happy he is ours. Easton is truly "the best baby ever." He still naps great and sleeps so soundly through the night. Little man is getting so big, wearing size 3-6 months or 6 month clothes and weighs about 14 pounds. His beautiful blue eyes get bluer every day and his dark newborn hair is lightning up. He's starting to look like his big brother Clayton. Little E started giggling this month, which truly is so precious. His giggle transforms any bad day to incredibly good! Easton is razzing like crazy now too and does it back at you when you do it to him. He's also cooing and experimenting with his voice and sounds. I love listening to him fall asleep at night. He just lays in his now too small bassinet razzing, cooing and talking until his adorable blue eyes close. Easton loves his play mat and bouncer, but is definitely not a fan of tummy time, though he's got "superman" perfected and is close to rolling over. He still likes to be swaddled, but now we just swaddle him from the waist down, so he can sleep with his arms up by his head, which he loves. Here's some pictures from our perfect little man's month...










June "about to lose my mind" June!

Wow...so happy for the month of June because we moved into our dream home, but so glad it is behind  us. We've been moved in for almost three weeks now and are finally starting to feel settled. Ryan literally worked from 6 AM until 1 AM for 10 days straight getting our house ready for us to move in to. The big project was having the ceilings scraped and recessed lighting installed. Ryan and his dad then primed and painted all of the ceilings, which is a ton of work! Ryan also got the entire upstairs painted with the gracious help of our parents. We couldn't have done it without them! So, the upstairs is now feeling like home again. The downstairs is a work in progress, but the play room is done and looks absolutely adorable! Ryan is so incredibly talented at painting and making our house pretty! Pictures will come next month. Ryan and I are both ready to sit down and enjoy our new home...hopefully that will come soon!

Clayton and Chloe adjusted seamlessly to their new rooms. Chloe's is pinked out to the max with splashes of bright aqua, lime green, and white trimmed in birds and butterflies. Clayton's room is all boy with lots of blue and red and sports balls everywhere! And Easton's nursery is turning out exactly how I imagined. It is adorable and so happy with bright aqua walls and splashes of orange and lime green and funky little trains. I'm busy with all my DIY projects for everyone's rooms, so when they are done, pictures will come! Easton is getting ready to transition from his bassinet, which he's nearly outgrown to his big boy crib. Both he and are are struggling with it. So far his naps have been a bit of a struggle and we haven't conquered night time yet. Tonight is supposed to be his first night in his own room...we will see!

The twins are busy, busy, busy with play dates, park days, swimming lessons, and dance for Chloe and soccer for Clayton (his first day is tomorrow). They are both progressing wonderfully at swimming. Clayton still jumps right in and basically directs Mrs. Cerra on what to do during his lesson. Chloe goes right in too, but has a melt down the last five minutes or so. She has had two Mommy and Me dance classes and is absolutely adorable! She twirls and runs around with the biggest smile on her face. She loves music, so I knew she'd love this class. I am definitely enjoying the special quality time with my girl since I don't get it too much. Easton continues to be "the best baby ever!" He is razzing up a storm, cooing like crazy, and melting our hearts with his infectious giggle.

Clayton's big news is that he is POTTY TRAINED! Clayton decided right after we moved in that he wanted to go potty in his big boy potty and more than anything wanted M & M's from his potty treat jar. He still has accidents every now and then but typically will stop himself and yell "potty" so we can run to the potty. He had trouble with poop for a few days, but is doing it now and is so very proud of himself when he does. Ice cream as a reward for poop works wonders for him! Chloe isn't quite ready yet, but says "potty" all of the time and truly tries.

And our princess, Roxi, is adjusting to her new home as well. She likes her huge backyard and likes sleeping in her own room, my closet!

Here's some pictures from our craziness!

Our little E is getting so big!

 
Yep, she has "trouble" written all over that sassy little face!
