Catching Up

So that's a slide show from Saturday. It's been 100 degrees at least for several days now so we let Eastie play in the backyard water features. :) It was lots of fun. That afternoon my sister Lauren came to stay for the night and we took her to Dave & Buster's for a bit. What a fun day!

Not much new is happening, I had John here on both Friday and yesterday so I haven't gotten around to blogging till now. Sorry. I'll fill you in on some of the small stuff...let's see...

Easton can get up onto the couch by himself now without stepping on anything to climb up there. We like that he's growing but it's not the safest activity either. He likes to attempt somersaults up there! Yikes! Earlier today I made a visit to the restroom and left the TV remote on the couch where it used to be "safe". Well, during my bathroom trip I heard Easton turn the volume all the way up and I came back to him simply sprawled on his back like a true couch potato, remote in hand. Silly. During the morning he decided to climb up repeatedly and either jump off onto a throw pillow below or ride the arm of the couch like it was a horse and then climb down the other side to get back up again. He's crazy. Must be all the raisins he's eating. Yes, he's decided finally that he'll eat raisins only because Daddy was eating them in the family room one day. That's really the only place E will try new things. So, he's a big raisin-head lately. While I like that he's eating things other than crackers, I'm not in love with what it's doing for his digestion. The day before yesterday (TMI warning) he had poops in an impressive FIVE diapers. Yes, five. Yesterday it was down to a "mere" three. Whoa!!, right? Yowsa.

What else? Oh yeah, he's learned the benefits of having TiVo. We were watching America's Funniest Home Videos reruns with Lauren on Sunday and he laughed hysterically at the kitty cat montage, then looked for the remote and signed "more". So we watched it again and again. He's continuing with other funny moments on programs. Like a koala climbing up a tree this morning. Or Pablo tripping on Backyardigans. What fun! I live to hear him laugh like that though, so it's totally worth it.

Oh!! And Easton slept until 8 this morning and so did I! Yippee. I woke briefly with the darn neighbor dogs and also with Jason getting up, showering, then leaving, but I was somehow able to go back to sleep. I think I might have gotten too much sleep, though, because I'm feeling quite lazy today. Oh well. I have a feeling with all that sleep, E's nap might be a short one so I'd better run and get a shower while I can. See ya!
