There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Baby Easton!!!

Easton, you're two years old!  I can hardly believe it!  I haven't made your two-year check-up appointment yet so I'm not sure how big you are - I'll post that later.  Here's what you've been up to lately:


  • You're a big boy!  You weigh the same (if not more) than your big brother Zachary!  He's 3 or 4 inches taller than you but you sure seem heavier
  • You're wearing a size 5 diaper and size 2T clothes
  • You wear a size 7 shoe
  • You LOVE letters!  You know more of the alphabet than Zachary does (he's not interested in learning at all)!
  • You love the Cars movie (shocker) just like your brothers
  • You're falling a little out of love with Dinosaur Train which makes me a little sad - it's such a cute show
  • I think you'll be our little athlete - and I think you'll be good at it!
  • You're a tough boy - you don't put up with any nonsense from your brothers!
  • You insist on walking everywhere - you do not like for us to hold you in public anymore!
  • You're still a good eater but you won't drink milk which really bothers me!  The only thing you drink is lemonade???
  • Your big brothers say you're not a baby anymore now that you're 2.  Break. my. heart.
  • You're a pretty good sleeper but you still require a paci at night - we will be working on this.  Eventually.  You nap for about 2 hours a day and sleep about 10-11 hours at night. 
  • You're a momma's boy.  I'm pretty sure.  I hope!
My heart still melts at least once a day when I look at you.  You're a miracle and we're so blessed to have you in our lives.  We love you so much, peanut!!!
