Easton, As Usual




Isn't this the face of the handsomest little thing ever? Except for that picture where he looks like a possessed child in a horror film. That's usually how he looks when I try to take pictures of him. He's not the camera's biggest fan.
He's getting older and smarter and funnier and wittier. I think that one day he used to be a newborn, but it seems like those days never existed. I wish that I could keep him two forever. I love this age - the age of becoming a little person and everyone else getting good laughs while it happens. He's so loving and independent and needy all at the same time. There's nothing that Adam and I enjoy more than his voluntary hugs and kisses - he kisses and squeezes us with all his little strength, and you can just feel his love pouring out of his heart as if he has so much love that he can't contain it.
It will be weird to have another baby. Our lives are all about Easton. He's the center of our universe, so I feel kinda sad that it won't be just all about Easton anymore. Once he was a tiny little baby, and now he'll keep growing up into a big person. Too bad I can't keep him like this for all of my life.

He's too cute! It is such a fun age. I remember feeling the same way when I was pregnant with #2. Don't worry, everything falls into place. Your 1st born always has a special place in your heart. (especially if he's a momma's boy)

I know how you are feeling about having another baby. I remember putting Ayden to bed the night before I was going to be induced and I cried because I felt so bad for her that she wasn't going to be the only one. I felt I was being unfair to her for having another baby and I felt so bad that the world as she knew it was changing. It is really funny looking back at that now, but they were real feelings. Now I know it was the best thing we could have done for her.
Easton really is a super cutie. I want a little boy so badly.

You won't beleive how much he grows up the day you have a new baby. I remember when I brought Cassi home and I looked at Madi, I couldn't beleive how big her feet were, how tall she was, how grown up her features had become. When they are the only one, that is all you are used to, but then you bring the little tiny new one home and all of the sudden your other baby got so dang big! So cherish the last few months of having one kid...and then try your best to keep that sense of humor when he does funny stuff...he is such a cutie!!!

I love the pictures! He is so cute! I felt the same way that you did when I was pregnant with Noah. It's amazing how your capacity to love grows with another child though. I feel like my world grew when Noah was born and I think you will find that to be true with you too!
