Love this Boy!!!

EASTON'S BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT



And speaking of Easton. He is almost 5 weeks old. Time has flown by. Even with all the crying he does! Really, he is the fussiest baby out of all of mine (although not as fussy as some I've known, and for that I am SOOOOO grateful). We started medicine for reflux because he is showing all the symptoms for it: arching his back, crying after and during feeding, refusing to eat, some spit-up. We'll see how it works.

He smiled at me today. Actually a few days ago, but I had to be certain that he was doing it intentionally....and I am certain. He's done it several times & it's the sweetest thing ever. We'll see if I EVER catch it on camera. If I'm not holding him, then he is usually crying, not smiling.

He weighs 9 lbs. 1 oz.

Of course EVERYBODY that sees him comments on his hair...but the second thing people say is that he already looks like a little man and not like a baby. Basically, I think it all comes down to the hair. And I do LOVE his hair too. I will never get sick of his 'Mo-Mo' (mohawk).

He doesn't have many nicknames at this point....but he does have a few, and unfortunately they aren't great. We call him Easton Beaston the most. I knew that would happen when we were considering his name but let's be honest, he is a Beast a lot of the times. We also call him Easty. And of course Buddy which is what everyone calls their little boys right? I think I am going to start calling him 'BIRD' since he has the cutest chicken legs.

We can always count on him pooping while he is eating. Out with the old, in with the new I guess.

We don't have a schedule. Seems like we should at this point, but I am trying not to base him on previous kids. The only thing I can really count is him going to bed at about 8 (in his crib....so we've got that going for us) and waking for his first feeding at 11-12. Also he will be up for about 2 hours in the morning before taking a long nap. He is NOT sleeping well at night, & I am getting frustrated. He is up at least every 2 hours. Will it ever end???

He had the cutest newborn cry. I always wondered why people said babies cried like this: "Wah-Wah-Wah" but that is exactly what his cry sounds like. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Since my arms are usually busy holding Easton while he is doing something 'Picture Worthy' I don't have many to post. I will try to do better.


Perfect fit!! He was so content.
