Easton has gotten so big. It's so hard for me to believe that he will be 2 on Halloween. He is such a big boy and is so smart. He knows exactly what he wants and knows if he is suppose to have it or not. He knows the names of everyone in the family without us asking who they are. He can point to a picture and tell us who they are. Easton also can count to 5 clearly. We are still working on the numbers on his fingers though. He sits at the dinner table like a big boy in his booster seat. He gets his own fork or spoon out of the drawer and goes to sit down at the table. Easton also has a very specific routine in the mornings that we have to stick to or he is cranky. He has to watch his shows (Mickey, Einsteins, Chuggington, Jake or Doc McStuffins) and eats his breakfast. While he is doing his thing, we get ready for work and get the car packed. We then get Easton dressed and ready to go to school. When we drive up to school he looks and says "Rina" (Corina his teacher) and gets so excited. We have finally passed the crying stage when I drop him off in the mornings. He has so many words now. Too many to write down in fact. Keith and I are so blessed to be able to call Easton ours. He has blessed our lives in so many ways that it's unbelievable. Here are some pics to catch you up.<br />

Time has flown by so fast. This little man has truly become a little man. He looks like he is 3 and is the sweetest thing ever. He loves to cuddle and to give hugs and kisses. Easton has truly blessed mine and Keith's lives forever.<br />
<br />
The things that he is doing now:<br />
climbing on everything<br />
running everywhere<br />
loves fruit<br />
despises veggies<br />
playing basketball<br />
throwing any kind of ball<br />
dancing<br />
watching elmo<br />
barking at dogs<br />
feeding pepper<br />
helping us do whatever we are doing (cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, etc.)<br />
<br />
Things that he is saying:<br />
mommy<br />
daddy<br />
elmo<br />
mickey<br />
doggie<br />
pepper<br />
mawmaw<br />
pawpaw<br />
eva<br />
teeth<br />
lemonade<br />
water<br />
banana<br />
bathy<br />
cookie<br />
cracker<br />
outside<br />
bite<br />
no<br />
Ryder (the biter at school)<br />
hi<br />
bye<br />
go<br />
car<br />
Lola (our neighbors dog)<br />
Papo (our neightbors cat)<br />
Nanny<br />
gracie<br />

<br />
I am sure that I have left some words off, but you get the idea. Easton really tries to have serious conversations with us. He looks at you with these serious eyes and expects you to understand every word. I can't imagine what our lives would be like without our precious boy. I am so excited to see what the future holds for all of us.<br />

Easton had such a blast at the reception. This kid love to dance and really loves music. When that DJ started playing, Easton jumped out of my lap to go dance. Now I have no idea where some of his moves came from so don't even ask. Here are a few videos of little man dancing.<br />

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I swear, it seems like our lives are a whirlwind. Keith and I have been so busy these past few months and our little man has been right there with us. He is a gym rat to the max. He is either with me at basketball practice or with Keith at basketball games. He loves being there with us because he gets to play with all of the basketballs. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, we have been fighting ear infections with him every month for 6 months. We finally went to an ear, nose, and throat guy and he said that Easton needed tubes desperately. He got tubes at the beginning of February. From the time they took him back to the time they brought him back to us took 18 minutes. Since he has had these tubes, the child has not stopped talking (jabbering). He did this to some point before, but now it is non stop. I don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are tons of pictures of Easton. I hope y'all enjoy.</div>

I know that it has been forever since I have updated my blog. We have had a crazy 2 months. With traveling every where for Christmas and Easton being sick, I don't think that Keith and I have had time to breathe. Easton had a wonderful Christmas. He got so many gifts. It is hard to believe how many toys a 1 year old can have. I swear that we have toys in every room of our house. He sure does love to play though. He watches a Baby Einstein that is a Christmas version. At the beginning of it, Santa comes across the screen in an airplane. He points to it and says "caca." I guess that is his word for Santa. His words for so many things are funny. I guess that you have to be around him to know what he is saying. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Like I said earlier, Easton has been sick for the longest time. It all started with another ear infection. He normally gets over these fairly quick. When he wasn't better in a few days, we took him back to the doctor. Come to find out, he had pneumonia. He started us on a new antibiotic for 10 days then we were suppose to come back after he finished the antibiotic for another check up to make sure the pneumonia was gone. We went back to the doctor on Tuesday and he said that Easton has fluid on his ears still. We had to make an appointment with the ENT to consult with him about tubes. Keith and I were expecting this to happen. He has had 5 ear infections in 6 months. I guess we will find out what's going on next Wednesday. Anyway, enough with the bad news. Here are some updated pictures of our little man. Enjoy!!</div>

This is really hard for me to believe that Easton is already 1. So much has happened in this past year and it has gone by so fast. If you have children you know that every day is a blessing. They teach us new things about ourselves every day. Easton has taught us how much we can actually love someone. Not that Keith and I don't love each other, but it is a totally different love. As parents, you will do anything for your child. I can't imagine my life, as chaotic as it is, without Easton in it.<br />
<br />
On Saturday we had a costume party for Easton. It was so much fun. Everybody was dressed up, even the great grandparents. We had a feast for everyone to eat. The house was decked out in spiders and pumpkins. When it was time to open gifts, Easton just wanted to paper. Once I got the gift out, depending on if it was a toy or clothes, he would want whatever I had in my hands.<br />

Easton had his own little cake. At first he didn't know what to do with it. Once I put some icing in his mouth he started to dig in. He loved it. I had to take the cake away from him, because he was eating so much of it. I think that he ended up eating about 1/4 of his cake. After his cake, he went straight to he bathtub. He had so much icing on him.<br />

He walks everywhere with his arms straight up in the air like someone is holding his hands. It is the cutest and funniest thing I have seen in a while. He has been taking a few steps here and there, but this past weekend he finally decided that he would just walk. Here are a couple of videos of him walking. There are also a few pictures of him at the St. Andrew's football game.<br />

We finally told Tiffany that we wanted her to be Easton's Godmother. We got her a charm from James Avery a while ago the said Godmother on it. She was so excited when we told her. This was the easiest decision that we could have made. Tiffany has been there for me for years and has just fit in with Keith and I so well. When she found out that I was pregnant, I think that she nearly had a heart attack. She was so excited that she was going to get to spoil Easton. Tiffany hosted a shower for me and also painted Easton's nursery in our old house. Like I said. It was a no brainer to have Tiffany as Easton's Godmother. Here they are right before Tiff had to leave on Sunday.<br />

So much has gone on and we have been so busy. Our little man is growing way too fast. He is already sitting up and bathing in the big boy tub. He absolutely loves it. From the moment I put him in his little duck he starts splashing. I can't give him any toys to play with until I am done bathing him. If I mess up and give him toys, it is just a fight the whole time.<br />

I say visit Easton because Keith and I really don't count anymore. Easton had so much fun with them. He showed them how he can walk around in his walker and get whatever he wants. He normally sits in his walker and screams and talks to whoever will listen. He is getting to the point now where he wants to play constantly. That is fine with me. It means that I can get more done around the house.<br />

Ma and Pa got to see Easton act like a little bird. Whenever I feed him his oatmeal, I can't even get the spoon back in the bowl before his mouth is open looking for food. Yes, I have a little porker on my hands. The kid loves to eat. We started mixing green beans into his oatmeal on Saturday. By Sunday, he was very fussy all day. This continued to all day Tuesday. Keith and I thought that maybe the green beans weren't settling right or something so we switched to squash. Thank goodness that worked. He has not been fussy since then.<br />
<br />
Easton is starting to sit up on his own. Sometimes he will bite the dust, but for the most part he is pretty good at sitting up. He did hit his face pretty good when my parents were here. He didn't cry very long afterwards. I think that it scared him more than anything.<br />

We had the funnest weekend that we have had in a while. We left Friday morning for Austin. Keith had an alumni baseball game for his high school. Those boys had so much fun. By boys I mean the old guys. I don't think that many of them have played since they left St. Andrews. They were already talking about next years game right after they got done playing. I think that eventually we can get this alumni game to where it's a big deal. Today, Keith's legs are very sore. He played catcher for part of the game and then some in the infield. The old guys were beaten by the current varsity team by 2 runs. Thanks to Ryan Belknap, the old guys didn't lose as bad. He hit a grand slam which put them down by 1 run. I am really looking forward to next year. I know Keith is too.<br />

Gracie and Uncle Kracker also came to Austin for the weekend. It was good to see them. It's been a while since they had seen Easton. We went shopping and of course spent way too much money. We bought Easton a walker and he absolutely loves it. Before we know it, he will be moving all around the house and we'll be chasing him every where.<br />

Friday night Vava, my aunt Eva, came and spent the night with us. Easton had so much fun with her. She plays non stop and is constantly talking to him. Saturday morning she got the idea to see if Easton was like that baby that cracked up when someone tore a piece of paper. Well guess what. He is. He could not stop laughing. I think this is the most I have ever heard him laugh. Keith and I have tried it since she left and it just isn't the same. I think Easton likes Vava better than us. Oh well, what can I do??<br />
<br />
Saturday evening we met Matthew and Meagan at Casa Rita's. It was really good to see them. I don't think that we have seen them since Christmas. I think that they really enjoyed holding and playing with Easton. I have to admit that he is a pretty cool kiddo. He thinks that everything is funny.<br />
<br />
Sunday was a very eventful day with the time change. Easton decided that he wanted to wake up before 7. I wasn't ok with this. I was pretty productive after that though. I had a new recipe for chocolate cupcakes that I wanted to try. So I baked chocolate cupcakes from scratch. We went to church after the cupcakes came out of the oven. Easton slept the whole time at church. He never does this. He was making up for that hour he lost. We came home after church and I made 2 different types of cream cheese icing. One was a mint kind and the other was a toffee kind. Let's just say that I will definitely be baking these again.<br />
<br />
Sunday afternoon we went to Arlington and saw Keith's grandmother, Gigi, and his uncle Mike, Kringle. They got to see Easton eat his oatmeal and bananas. They were impressed at how well he ate. We really need to try to visit them more since we live closer than we used to.<br />
<br />
Sunday night we went over to eat dinner with David, Blair and Hayden Smith. We try to do dinner with them at least once a month. Easton loves Hayden and vice versa. Hayden wanted to hold Easton all night. I think that they will be best buds like their mommies.<br />

We had a really good time seeing our family and friends. Our little niece Madelyn, who is 4 days older than Easton, was dedicated on Sunday. Keith and I were very proud to be a part of that. Family means the world to us and Maddy made our weekend. I love seeing Easton and her together. It's so funny because he is so much bigger than her. After holding him and then holding Maddy, it seems like she doesn't weigh anything. 4 pounds really does make a ton of difference in babies. We put Easton and Maddy on the floor next to each other to compare the size difference. It's hard to believe that she is 4 days older.<br />

My mom was never a believer when I told her that Easton could rollover. Well now she believes. Every time someone put him on his tummy, he rolled over. He will not play on his tummy now that he figured out how to rollover.<br />
<br />
I think Ma and Pa got some good rocking time with Easton. He fell asleep with one of them every night. I know that they and Easton loved it.<br />
<br />
On the way back from Abilene we stopped in Breckenridge to see my Nanny. She hadn't seen Easton since Christmas. He showed her his one and only trick. He knows how to rollover from his tummy. I'm glad we stopped, because Easton has changed so much. Hopefully we can see Nanny more.<br />
<br />
Easton learned a new trick from his daddy. I was changing his diaper a few minutes ago and he stuck his foot in his mouth. Keith denies teaching this to Easton, but I've seen him teaching Easton how to put his foot in his mouth. Thanks a lot Keith.<br />

It went very well. He weighs 15 lbs. 3.5 ozs. and he is 25 3/4 inches long. Since his last visit he has gained 2 lbs and grew 2 inches. Needless to say, he doesn't miss a meal. This child loves to eat. His head and weight are in the 50 percentile and his length is in the 75 percentile. I hope this means he is going to be tall. We got to the part where the doctor was talking about when to put him on cereal and that was at about 5 or 6 months. She then asked us how much he was eating everyday. My response was "7 ounces every 2-21/2 hours." She then said, "Maybe we need to start that cereal now." Easton was eating 42 ounces a day. When they get to 40 ounces you start cereal. Well we started him on oatmeal today after his appointment. Here is a video of him trying to figure out how to eat it.<br />

Aunt Tiffy came to visit!! He loves his aunt Tiffy. He just laughs and talks to her like crazy. He showed off to her by rolling over. Easton hasn't quite figured out how to get his arms under him yet, so we put his arms under him so he can roll over. After he does it, he looks at us and gives a huge smile.<br />

Easton has learned how to pull his socks off. He just found his feet, I guess, so he grabs the toe of his socks and pulls. He thinks that this is so funny. He has also started screaming at the top of his lungs when he is playing. This cracks up Keith and me. He screams and then gets this huge smile like he knows he is funny.<br />
<br />
We got Easton his first big boy chair. He loves to sit in it. It makes him think that he is bigger than he really is. He can't really sit up yet so he leans to one side most of the time. When we first put him in it, he was cracking himself up. He almost kicked himself out of it. He was having so much fun in it.<br />

I change her diaper on my guest bed and lay Easton next to her. Every time I do this they hold hands across the bed. At first, Brenna just reached over there to Easton. Now, Easton reaches over expecting Brenna's hand to be there. If her hand isn't there, you can tell that Easton gets mad and gives her this look. I think that it's the cutest thing.The Skates Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04678894137372124455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383092099477589618.post-9666516293378301432011-02-25T11:46:00.000-08:002011-02-25T11:46:30.595-08:00Baseball!!!!Easton attended his first baseball game. I can't really tell if he liked it from all the sleeping, eating, pooping, you know all the usual baby things. He did, however, scream and talk at the top of his lungs. Does that mean he liked it? I am so excited about baseball season. This means that I get to be out of the house and hang out with some really neat people. And most of all I am excited about the RANGERS!!! I know that we will try to be at every game that we can possibly attend.<br />

Off the subject of baseball. Every time we put Easton on his tummy he rolls over. I am very excited about this, because he gets his legs under him like he wants to crawl. Keith and I cannot wait for that day.<br />
<br />
We go for Easton's 4 month check up next week. I really hope that our doctor decides to put him on cereal. This kid eats 7 ounces every 2-2 1/2 hours. That seems like too much formula to me. I can't complain though. Easton has been sleeping through the night since he was 1 month old. Sometimes, he lets Keith and me sleep until 9 a.m. He takes 3-4 naps during the day. Two to three 30 minute naps and one 2 hour nap. I really love when he takes a 2 hour nap. I can actually get things done around the house.The Skates Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04678894137372124455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383092099477589618.post-1304298043388074182011-02-23T16:31:00.000-08:002011-02-23T16:31:58.162-08:00Our other baby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5xbhFwyy__DmA9Cq1sEBOx4ShdsZj7AjZcnTHYrbprnGwCAesQK4erWUj9k1LYbc8Mm5zWFeqz-Rr1bOq36pRWKraeAL7-U-L0as1tyOfqkuHlUw3RkyxaFr3ZHw7vJAHvlJF9s8-Fw/s1600/IMG_0024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5xbhFwyy__DmA9Cq1sEBOx4ShdsZj7AjZcnTHYrbprnGwCAesQK4erWUj9k1LYbc8Mm5zWFeqz-Rr1bOq36pRWKraeAL7-U-L0as1tyOfqkuHlUw3RkyxaFr3ZHw7vJAHvlJF9s8-Fw/s320/IMG_0024.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Our little Pepper has been limping around the house since Easton was born 3 1/2 months ago. We took her to a vet here in Decatur, but we weren't getting any results from the treatment. That vet actually gave us 2 different problems with Pepper but she would never x-ray her. We finally took her to a vet in Boyd. Keith and I liked this vet so much better. She actually took x-rays and showed them to us. Come to find out, Pepper has arthritis in both hips and knees. This is very common in an old athletic dog like Pepper. The vet put Pepper on Glucosamine and Rimadyl. We really hope this works, because we hate to see Pepper not acting like her normal self.<br />

He is finally over that, thank God. He had to have breathing treatments every four hours. It was horrible. The kid screamed his head off for five minutes straight. Huge crocodile tears running down his face and everything. It broke my heart to have to give Easton those treatments. The good news is, it worked and we don't have to worry about it for a while hopefully.<br />
<br />
The weekend Easton had RSV, my mom came up to visit her poor baby. Of course, she couldn't stand listening to him cry so she always went into another room. Eva came over and spent Saturday with us. When we started to give Easton a treatment, she asked my mom if she wanted to go shopping. Neither of them wanted to be around him while he was screaming. I don't blame them. I didn't want to be there either but someone had to give him those treatments.<br />
<br />
Sherese, Keith's mom, and Jim, his brother, came and visited this weekend. They were so surprised at how much Easton had grown in the past couple of weeks. I guess I don't notice it as much since I'm around him all day everyday. We went to a Chico softball game on Saturday. That was Easton's very first one. He had tons of fun, because of all the people there that wanted to play with him. For lunch today, we tried this new place we had never been to called Stephens Street Grill. It was so good. I know for a fact that we will be visiting that place often.<br />
<br />
Easton loves to play in his jumper that Aunt Eva bought him. He can't quite jump yet, but he plays with all the toys and loves it. I can already tell that he is going to be a handful. The terrible twos might hit early.<br />

Your parents always tell you that you will never know how much they love you until you have a child. Well, now I understand what they meant. When Easton was born, I couldn't control my emotions. When Keith told me that he was here (via c-section), I started crying and so did Keith. Then when they put him on my chest for me to see, a whole new set of feelings came over me. I couldn't believe that he was mine. Finally, after 9 long months, my child was here and I was looking at him face to face. Unbelievable.<br />

When Easton was a couple of days old, he had to be put under the lights for his jaundice. This was a horrible experience for both Easton and myself. I hated to see him in that little tanning bed with his eyes covered and us not being able to hold him that much. I know that it could've been worse, but I never wanted to see my child in that situation. He was under the lights for 2 days and then we got to go home. We went back to the doctor for lab work and his levels were back up to 17. Well, this meant that we had to have one of those tanning beds in our home. I really hated this because I knew how much Easton hated it. At least this time we had what they call a blanket that we put on his back. He didn't have to be under the lights at all times, he just had to have the blanket on him. This thing wasn't really a blanket though. It was more like a flexible paddle. We had to use this for another 3-4 days before his levels went back down. This was very stressful to me for some reason. I knew that he would be ok but I just couldn't handle it.<br />

My mom stayed the first week and Keith's stayed the second week. I don't know if I could've made it without those 2. They did the laundry, dishes, cooked, cleaned, pretty much anything we needed them to do.<br />
Keith and I figured out very quickly that Easton was a held baby. Every time we put him down, sleeping or awake, he would scream. He wouldn't and still won't sleep in his crib. I can't complain too much about that though, he sleeps all through the night.<br />

I love being home with him all day everyday. Yes, I do miss coaching, but I would rather miss that than Easton. I always knew that Keith would be an amazing father, but he has surpassed every expectation I had for him. He loves our little boy more than anything in this world. I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life than Keith.The Skates Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04678894137372124455noreply@blogger.com1
