Now I've got Dave Matthews in my head. Good tune. Anyway, I do have lots to say. First, thanks for all the comments yesterday. The video blog was weird to do but I hope it will make some of my blog buddies more willing to do the same. At least once.
Anyway, Jason is on his way home as we speak...er, type. He's in the air and not for much longer. The day he left I tried to get a good picture of us to send him:
We sent a movie instead.
I'm proud of how I did with the two kids. I thought I'd be going crazy but I'm far from it. It helps that Easton has been in his awesome phase.
And D, my teether:
I'd like to think that's why he was up so much that first night...his second tooth finally broke through the gum the following day (9/17). It's about time! There was still a bit of tooth left to finish poking out of the gum so he was still a little "less than restful" last night. It really wasn't too bad, though.
Easton ended up wanting to take a nap in the midst of his book reading time yesterday. I went in to exchange his books and he told me he wanted me to "turn me lamp oss and I want me song". So he took a short nap. I woke him after about an hour, though. As I've mentioned a time or two ;) I like how he sleeps at night when he's not napping. But, he got that little snooze so we could stay up a teeny bit later for our movie:
Then he even got to hear Jason tell him his bedtime story over the phone. Not bad. Not bad at all.
We had a lazy morning today with waffles for Easton. Dalton just looked on:
He is laughing at his brother in that above one. Very cute. They've been really sweet together lately.
When Dalton went down for his morning nap Easton and I made special treats: "Indoor S'mores" from the Golden Grahams box. A mommy friend told us about them. Pretty good. Easton preferred just eating the plain cereal as he looked on:
I also whipped up a batch of pureed banana to introduce to Dalton when he woke up:
He did okay with it, I'd say he likes the sweet potatoes better though. I'm being really bad about the solids with him. He's just not eating much milk these days. And then he isn't pooping regularly anymore, then when he finally does it's horrific. So, being the smart mommy that I am (errrr, NOT) I gave him constipating bananas. Genius, eh? Well anyway, I don't even offer solids every day. I'm sure I should but I don't.
After he was done with his bananas Easton pushed him and the highchair over to the stairs and did this about fourteen times:
And Dalton is finally starting to not really stay where I put him:
He is NOT crawling by any means but he can get places quickly with his roll/scooch technique:
He does that over and over, scooch, roll, re-evaluate, scooch, roll again. Cutie. He can go pretty quickly at times. And Easton and I have been known to crack up watching him.
Anyhoo, I need to have some more of my "S'mores"...Hey! I get it!!! Okay, I got it before. Like when I was 6. But still. I need s'more. And some decaf sweet tea and to wait for Jason. The boys were both in bed before 7 tonight. Hope I'm not regretting that come dawn. :)

Gosh I am out of touch...jason gone...where? I must read on. I have been in garage sale hell. And I never got the whole s'more thing until just now..duh!
Oh yeah, you look cute in braids!
Oh Dalton is SO DARN CUTE! Wow! He's adorable doing the scooch! hehehe Easton is such an awesome big brother too! Glad everything went well while Jason was away.
OMG! Dalton is SO freaking adorable. He makes me want another baby...but only if it can be a Dizzle clone. LOL. He just seems to be the most laid back, sweet little guy. Awwww.
I'm glad you and Eastie got your date...and it is pretty cute that he ASKED for nap. I guess even non-nappers feel like it every once in a while. I know I do! LOL! Maybe he did it just to prepare for the big date. ;) Did he like the show? Nathan LOVED it. I thought it was pretty cute, too.
YAY on J is home!!I knew you would do well by yourself with the 2 kids!! I am so glad E has been on his best behaviour. I love good behaviour from a 2 year old. Always makes for a happy mom that is for sure.
The s'mores sound yummy. They have all of my favorites in them.
Loved the pics!! Especially the one of smiling D :)
And I am anxious to hear how it went with both boys going to bed before 7. We put Grace to bed last night in the late 6o'clock hour (this is the earliest ever for her) and she did really good. Woke up later than normal. Too bad Julia was up early...Grr!! But at least she was a happy early bird. LOL
The scooch is too cute. D is adorable in yellow. And blue. And just about any color, I'm sure.
So proud of Easton for being such a great big brother!
So glad everything went well with J gone!!
Omg! Lila and Dalton have the exact same grin going on...I have to get a video to show you, I never noticed until you posted the scooch video, but wow!
Ha, I love love love the video of D chompin' away before he's even got any food! That is too freakin' adorable.
