10 months

WOW!!  Did I read that right?  10 months!  Geesh I am getting big!

Yep, that's what this sticker says, 10 months!
You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun!

My mom sure is making me sit here for a LONG time...



All I really want to do is eat this paper!
All that sitting and now she throws me in the basket!?!  The nerve!  Too bad I ate my fancy-schmancy sticker.
I have been a busy boy this month!  I have lots of hair that likes to stick up in random fluffy tufts!  I love reading my Moo, Baa, La, La, La! book as long as I am not too sleepy.  I crack up at the silly animal sounds.  Sometimes I even point to the right animals when mommy and daddy make their sounds for me!
Of course Logan and I have been busy playing!  I love that guy!  His dancing makes me belly laugh!
We got to hang out a lot when he had snow days and stayed home from school!  It was fun, we even built a fort!
I was not so impressed with the snow.  It was cold and poked me in the face!
Okay, truth be told, I REALLY did not like the snow.  I hear my Papi wants to move somewhere warm, maybe I'll do that too!
This is more like it!  Look at all the snow we got!  That was just storm #1, we got even more snow the very next week!
My mommy and daddy took me to meet Dr. Riggs.  He is one important dude!
I am sure glad I got to meet him!
I have been working on trying to crawl but don't really like it so much.  I can scoot around on my back just fine so I don't see why my parents keep pushing the issue.
Maybe I'll work on that for next month...
Last month I got my first tooth!  The lower left one, same one as my big brother!  Then a week and a half later I popped his next door neighbor.  It looks like the top ones will be joining them really soon.  Mommy is going to miss my big gummy smile!
I have been eating up a storm!  I love greek yogurt and mommy's mexican quinoa!  I eat watermelon, chicken, pasta, cheese, graham crackers, crunchers, I'll try just about anything!
I am getting so big that I tried to convince mommy to let me take the car for a spin, only I couldn't reach the pedals.
I really enjoy jumping in my exersaucer!

The end.

12 Reasons I Am Lovin' on Logan

1. He is a trooper.  My boy looked forward to going to the "Monster Dome" for months, 2 of them to be exact!  The night before the big event my little dude ended up with the stomach flu.  He woke up with a high fever and was incredibly lethargic.  However, Logan wasn't going to let a little illness get him down!  He suited up in his best monster truck shirt and got in the car.  Halfway there mama had to get creative and practice catching some unpleasant side effects from the back seat!  A little puke didn't keep us away!  He powered through and talks about it as if it was the best day of his life!

Big boys still need their mamas!!
 2.  He is such an excitable dude!  A couple of weeks ago we were blowing bubbles outside and he kept yelling, "Wow mama, did you see that?!?  It was HUNORMOUS!"

3.  He loves his brother.  I remember finding out that Easton was a boy and being thrilled to give Logan a little brother.  I knew that despite their almost 4 years difference in age that they would be the best of buds.

4.  He has a way with words.  My favorite phrase that Logan uses now is, "That is the worst thing I never heard/saw."  It cracks me up every time!

5.  He has a way with numbers too!  Everything is 158-hundred, for instance, "I have like 158-hundred cars."  One of his teachers told me that he and his friends compare how many pictures they do at the art table with these outrageous figures!

6.  He is adorable and I just love this picture!  We had the best time during our four snow days!  It is so nice to be a teacher, who is married to an educator, that has time off with their kids.  We built a snow fort (which turned into this tunnel), drank hot chocolate, went sledding, and stayed in our jammies all day!


7.  He is so smart.  He loves to do puzzles, read, and know everything.  Today, out of the blue, he told Kasey, "The word submarine means under the sea."
 8.  He is so big, big enough to play in our neighbors backyard with the mommies only checking out the window.  I almost crumbled at how big this is.

9.  He dresses up.  Usually he is a firefighter but right now he is into being a race car driver or a dirt bike racer.  What a hoot!

 10.  He has a very best buddy that he cares about so much.  You should see how excited he gets to play with his friend!  It makes me so happy!

11.  He's got the moves like Jagger!  He loves to crank up the music and dance all over our house.  He and his daddy make up moves and then name them.
12.  He has a big heart.  The other day we were heading to Trader Joe's and he spotted someone carrying some flowers out of the store.  He said to me, "Mommy, how come you never get flowers?"  I told him that he should ask his daddy that!  He responded, "I can get some flowers for you."  Melted my heart to the point of tearing up in the store.  He carefully inspected all of the flowers to insure that he picked the very best ones.  He also had to make sure that some were orange because it is his favorite color.

We have been attending a new church.  During Sunday school they have a treasure box where the kids can give their offering.  Typically we give him a dollar to put in the treasure box.  A couple of weeks ago I noticed that he had a pile of change on his dresser.  When I asked him if he wanted to put it in his piggy bank he said, "No, that is for God."  Adorable.

9 Months


Look at this little cutie!!  This has been a big month for Mr. E.!  He can sit up all by himself now, we have stopped wearing a bib all the time and discontinued his reflux medicine!  He weighs 18 pounds and 1 oz and is 28 inches long.  The best news is that this dude is in the 35th percentile for height, 17th for weight, and 72nd for head circumference, among other 9-month-olds (not 31-weekers!).  

He has also become much more content.  He is still my determined little man but has much fewer freak outs.  He has even stopped throwing fits about getting into his car seat!

Easton knows just how to melt his mommy's heart!  I love hearing him "talk" with his "ah-boos" and "ah-baas."  He concentrates very hard while making raspberries by blowing air through his lips!  E makes the sweetest growly sounds before falling asleep, he almost sounds like ET, it is so cute!  The other day he kept giving me big squeezes when I picked him up from daycare.  He is also starting to get some separation anxiety.  He is not a fan when I leave the room, it breaks my heart to hear him get so upset but I also love knowing just how much he loves his mama!

Easton knows what he wants and that just happens to be mama's camera!!
He's handling tummy time a bit better these days.



Now that he can sit he loves playing with the mobile in his crib!  I think it is about time to say bye-bye to that toy....

Mmm, look who also got his first taste of ice cream!

E baby is all about feeding himself.  He has tried all kinds off goodies; fish, kiwis, bagels, french toast, waffles, you name it!

Handsome little man!

Easton has been a busy boy.  This month he had a play date with Lucas and...
Mac (Mason was there too!).


Of course, there has been plenty of wrestle-dogging going on at the Weishaar's!
My boys helped me feel extra-special on my birthday!

My big boy can hold his own bottle!

Visiting daddy at work!

Helping out big brother make a safari jeep (not too interested  in this activity!).

This past week Easton got his first high fever.  Poor dude was so worn out!  It took a couple of doctor's visits to figure out that he has an ear infection in his right ear.  Hopefully it will clear up very soon!
Cookie face!
One of Easton's favorite times of day, bath time!
Cute little diaper dude, happy as a clam!
Look at the newest member of Jersey Shore!  Maybe he can hang out with Snookie's baby!  He is all set with his Puma track suit and cold chain!
