The Family Blog

Ack, I'm now closer to 32 than I am to 31. Gosh, 32 is all grown up. I'm heading towards mid-30s. People in their mid-30s are married and have kids and mortgages and.... oh wait. :)

I've got some pictures, of course.

You know how I've been mentioning the special bond between Dalton and Autumn, but really it's just that they have 9 hours every week where Easton isn't here. However, Easton and Autumn have a special bond as well:






And she lets him do this to her:




This video could've certainly been cropped, so don't feel like you have to watch it all but I'm keeping it long for my buddy Ranen. :)

Autumn thinks both her brothers are The Most. She has gotten to where if they are around, she won't nurse anymore. She'd much rather keep an eye on them and wake up extra in the night to make up for what she's not eating during the day. The other day Easton was throwing a gigantic fit complete with screaming (yes, he can still be highly emotional) and Autumn thought it was the funniest thing. Her reaction ended up making Easton laugh in the midst of his tantruming. That's pretty powerful. Then again, she's powerful cute as my mom would say:


Snuggling with her biggest Bubba before breakfast on Saturday:


She put this on her nose during breakfast and then sat completely still like this the entire time.

She was clearly very tired so I took a picture then took pity on the sweet thing and took her up to her bed.

Later on Saturday, the snow was melted enough, the weather was almost warm enough, and the kids were no longer sick so Jason could finally set up the trampoline we and The Maws got our family for Christmas. The boys looked out the bedroom window because I didn't want them out there bugging J too much about hurrying up:


They're standing on the elliptical in our bedroom...Easton would have to stand on the opposite side to get Dalton boosted up on his pedal:


And they continued their observing from Autumn's room:


And the back door:


Eventually I let them go out:






And finally it was ready! It was super cold outside but we went out for a bit anyway. This video is really long but whatever, I'm in no mood to edit all of this right now:

I especially like the helpful big brother at the end before we have the ladder set up. :) We found the boys sharing a snack out there too:


Little Autumn isn't so little anymore. She's trying to sit up in her swing these days:


And here she is sitting pretty in her $1 Walmart dress after church on Sunday:


Watching the Saints game with Daddy...he looks a little stressed doesn't he?


Here's a few pics from my camera phone:


And yesterday at the mall:

Seriously, I wish I had a big brother like Easton. He's super awesome, even if he does still throw a fit here and there (which I don't see ending anytime soon, unfortunately).

Autumn this morning after I dressed her in clothes that she's outgrowing again. :(

Her belly kept hanging out of the top and while the sleeves look just fine, the pants look like capris. And her socks wouldn't even stay on. She's wearing just a onesie now. :) Well, a onesie and a Miracle Blanket.

But, ooooh, I hear her starting to call. Must go try to nurse her while the boys are quietly watching a show so they don't distract her.

Ta ta!
