Tuesday Takes (weeks 12 & 13)

Week 12

You LOVE the tub! You kick like crazy and it breaks your little heart when it's time to get out, you cry, but once your jammies are on you get over it pretty fast! You are sleeping anywhere from 6-8 hours which mommy loves! Thank you for that! Your fists are your best friends!

Week 13

I can't believe you turned 3 months on Wed the 16th! Crazy how time flies by! Please slow down, it's making me sad, but I love watching you grow and discover new things! This week you giggled for the first time at me on Tues the 15th when I got off work after I changed your diaper I took your feet and would reach your feet up to your forehead or chin and you started with a wide open mouth, to a gasp, then to a giggle! It was SO cute!! You are one kicking machine and love to be talked to and tell us stories!

Tuesday Takes

10 weeks
Your fists have for sure become your new best friends! You get slobber all over your fist and cheek! You smile at me when I pick you up after work! You also smile at Dad when you see him after work! It's good to know that you love us and missed us :)!! You are sleeping 6-7 hours at night, every now and then it's 5 hour stretches but mommy thanks you for that! Your hair is receding a little bit, but you still have lots of hair on the sides and in the back and on top in a cute little foe-hawk. It will stick straight up most of the time. We love how much more you are talking, you get so excited and kick your feet and move your arms when you are talking to us! We love those little stories!

11 weeks

The classic mouth open while sleeping! Usually you have your arms spread out, but you were cuddling with Mom at the hospital while we were visiting Grandpa Taufer. You are holding your head up so good, little bobbles here and there though, but you almost got it. You are pushing up on your feet almost like you want to stand. You are slowly discovering your fingers. You will stare at your fists and slowly move your fingers and switch off grabbing one finger after another. We are having so much fun watching you discover these things!

Tuesday Takes (weeks 6-9)

Every Tuesday I take Easton's picture. I think it's so much fun to watch him change each week! He is growing SO fast! I'm calling them "Tuesday Takes". It works out perfect because he is one week older every Tuesday! Haha cheesy I know! These are all pictures from my phone so I'll have to download the rest of his week pictures from my camera!


WEEK 9



You are smiling so much more and slowly at other people rather then just Mom & Dad, Grandpas & Grandmas. You love to be talked to and you are cooing so much more! It's so fun to hear your little squeals! Your fists are slowly becoming more interesting to suck on, but you're still not sure on the taste or what to think.


WEEK 8


You have discovered your fists! You love bath time! You get so excited when we undress you, you lay in just your diaper and kick kick kick your feet! Your smiling more and more and cooing like crazy! You turn your head when you hear daddy talking. At your 2 month check up you weighed 11 lbs 15 oz and you are 24 1/2 inches long! You are in the 94% for your heighth! Way to go kid!! Chunk it up! You were showing off for the doctor kicking, smiling and talking. You were happy as could be until the shots came and you're poor little heart was broken (so was Mom's) You zonked out pretty much the whole day.

WEEK 7



You are full of smiles. You are doing 5-6 hour stretches at night, which mommy loves and thanks you for that! Tub time is still your favorite, you love having your hair washed! You are talking a little more. You are so strong and you are getting really good at holding your head up. ( You've been strong with your head since day one, but you are doing little bobs)


WEEK 6

Even though you can't sit up by yourself, you love to ride your horse. Your eyes go really wide when he makes noises. You are chunking up more and more, getting little rolls on your legs and we love it! It is so fun to see you smile more each day! Your hair spikes up on top no matter what mom does and it wings out in the back and sometimes on the side! You are stylin little man!

Update Coming!!

I am so sorry I have updated since I had Easton! My inlaws cat chewed up their internet cord....4 times. So absotutely no internet haha. I am back to work :( but now I can update my blog at least! I want to back track and write about Easton's birth and his monthly updates so I'm sorr this will be catch up posts coming!!

"Southston" vs "Easton"

I had my doctor's appointment yesterday. Dr. Anderson was checking to make sure Easton's head was still down and it turned out that the little twarp has flipped!! He has been head down since I was 32 weeks!! His head is under my right rib and his bum is kitty corner from that. All this time I thought it was his bum shoved up under my rib. Poor little guy, I have been pushing his head down thinking it was his bum, I've probably given him brain damage or his first "hair cut" from his head rubbing on my ribs haha. He has 3 weeks to move. My doctor explained to me if he hasn't moved by 38 weeks, they will give me an epidural, do a manipulation, monitor him for a bit, if he stays down, they will break my water and I'll deliver. The risks of that are the cord can get wrapped around or he will turn right back and then we will have to do a C-section. Please Easton, Please be a good little guy and move back down!! Like Dr. Anderson said right now we want a "Southston" not an "Easton". Haha gotta love the doctors that lighten up the mood!

35 weeks!!

I can't believe I only have 5 weeks left!! His movements are getting much bigger but not as wiggly, poor guy has no room in there! His pushes his little bum up into my ribs(hey it's better then being kicked in the ribs) I know for sure know what it's like to have no sleep! Heart burn, achey back and misc. bones are my best friends :) ! We can't wait to meet this little guy!!
This weekend was a lot of fun! I had my work shower on Friday and Family/Friend shower on Saturday. I had a great turn out and I was SPOILED!! Thank you so much everyone for all of your sweet gifts!! I am even more excited for this little guy to come!! All of the soft jammies I got were making me want to cuddle with him right then and there haha! Thanks again to my Mom and sisters for doing a shower for me!! You guys are so sweet!! I love you!! I'll post pics from my shower soon...hopefully:)

Finally I'm able to post! Here are a few pics to show the progess of the house! These are a little old, because our house is pretty much completely framed and the roof is almost finished. The roof has been harder to get on by playing games with the weather! But it's coming along!!
