holy cow

This is abnormal right...

holy cow his mouth is huge

I see many competitions/challenges in his future.."East, put your fist in your mouth again!!"

That cute little mouth is huge..and loves to pile food in it all day long..as much as the boys are eating me out of house and home now..and I am thinking I'll need a second job when they are teenagers to cover food cost!!

School pictures!

So, I picked up school pictures the other day and I was impressed that I just managed to get one picture for $15..you guys now I cannot turn down cute pictures of my boys.  But since I love the natural ones, I opted to only get one posed one and I LOVED it!!  I texted it to my mom, mother-in-law and Bradley..since I can text pictures now!  And the responeses were along the lines of .."omgoodness, so stinkin cute" and "great smile from an awesome kid"..and then there was "love his smile, but his shirt looks gay".  I think you can guess who sent what..and can you guess who got the reply of " You suck Brad Way":)

the one I bought..this is a pic of a pic..sorry!  But OMGoodness, I smile everytime I see it!!

this is a picture of one on the computer..the cheestastic pose was AWESOME!!!

spell check is not working, so my appologies in advance:)

I can text again!

Almost a year ago my picture texting just stopped working. I assumed it was something with my iPhone and I loathe the apple store, so I just put off going.  A year later I made my way into the apple store only to find out it was an AT&T problem..that I fixed in 10 minutes!  While I am happy to have my picture texting back, I am irritated that I went almost a year without it and could have fixed it much sooner.  Not to mention I'm irritated since they screw up on accident and just took the feature off:(

Oh well, its fixed now and I was super pumped to get theses recent texts during a workday...love these sweet boys!!

No way..look how old he looks:(

too cool for school, right!

Easton turned one!..a while ago!:)

The day after Easton's birthday party our house came down with the fever, coughing, croup-ee, nasty nose, sore throat junk..and at least 2 people were sick at a time..until today.  Can we all say "Whipping."  So, here are..what feels like 6 months later, playing catch up!!  I tried to get more of the cake eating photos uploaded, but for some reason they stalled out blogger.  I know your sad that you only have 457 pictures to look at now as opposed to 934...your welcome.

his pirate cake.  If you want to believe I made it, go right ahead:)

thrilled, right.

this looks like the caption should read "hallelujah"")

this is what I am talking about!

Charlie was loving the water and I am hopeful he will learn to swim without the life jacket this summer.  Maybe, maybe not..we will see!

Meet Easton, the large baby fish....kiddo.loves.water!!

Sweet  birthday boy had a great day..and is loving his new toys!

Easton was being a bit girly about eating his cake, so big bro helped him out!!

The next few are just a few of the decorations I made!

this was my favorite..you could watch him grow from tiny baby to sick looking baby to plump baby to ginormous baby!!

Happy birthday to my favorite one year old!

So I dont forget...

This is more for me, so I don't forget!  Charlie said all three things to me today...I am in trouble!!

1.) I forget now what he was telling me to stop doing..maybe tickling or something, and he stops and points his finger at me and says "If I say stop, then I mean stop.  Don't make me repeat myself." :)

2.)We were playing Dr. Dentist..he often needs a nudge to brush his teeth at night.  He ask what my Dr name was and I told him Dr. Way.  He goes "W-A-Y?"  I told him that was right!!  I swear I spell Way a million times more then I ever spelled Bramlett...go figure??

3.) He was getting in trouble...sensing a theme....and I was giving him my "stern" look and he pointed at me and said " You better wipe that look off your face before I help you out"...AGGGHHRRR, I cant believe I have ever said that to him...I swore I'd never say that!!  He kills me though, cause I can be blood boiling mad at him and he is just smiling away.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong cause he never seems frightened enough of me..and I kinda think that's a necessity as a parent:)

he'll have his cake and eat it too

Is that even how the saying goes??  Anywhoo, its no surprise to anyone that he tore this cake apart...which actually says a lot.  I whipped this up during nap time and I was out of reg flour so I used whole wheat flour...yuck, yuck cake:(  And I figured it would be, but you gotta have cake on your birthday!!  the homemade icing was good enough to make up for the cake!!

Just took him back tothe Dr on Wed..his ears are fine, but he cannot keep his fingers out of his ear:(

Looking forward to doing this all again on Sat..except this time with good cake!!

One year:)

No way has this sweet and tiny 7lb 2 oz baby turned into a full blown 26lb one year old!!

It's hard to remember how tiny he was..considering that he is ginormous now!!

I am blessed to be his mommy..and I am blessed to receive this smile about 427 times a day...God is good! ( He thought that tiger was the coolest thing ever!!)

I love my sweet, sweet, sweet Easton!

He has accomplished a whole stinking lot in a years time....

*He managed to get over his MSPI and tolerate regular formula at 9months...and clearly he is doing okay!  At the Dr yesterday he was just under 26lbs!

*Gave up his pacifier at 9months with hesitation!

*Gave up the bottle at 10 months..he is still getting formula 2 times a day from a sippy cup.  I know he is certainly big enough, but I still want to feed his brain!!

*He has all 12 teeth...are you kidding me..that is a mouthful of teeth..combine that with his size and people tend to expect a little more out of him!

*FINALLY started crawling at 11.5 months....can you still call him laid back at this point?!?!?!

*Can say mama and dada and EEE-Ya..no clue what the last one is, but he says it all day long..and it makes him giggle!!

*I still make an occasional baby food veggie, just cause I don't feel like he gets enough variety since he is one all reg food.  The other night we ate at On The Border and I split with him.  I have since decided to spilt with Charlie.  Easton ate most my rice and beans, half an enchilada,  half a tostada and ttortilla....eating is clearly not a problem for him!!

Easton is the sweetest baby boy ever..I love that he loves to snuggle and cuddle.  I love that he is so sensitive.  I love that he makes people feel so special by loving on them so much.  I am so thankful that we waited almost 17 months for God to bring us the PERFECT baby for our family. I cannot imagine life with this super sweet blessing!  I cannot wait to see what he becomes...as long as he gets there slowly....this year has flown by WAY to fast!
