Operation fatten baby up!

So Easton went in for his 4 month check up last Thursday. He now weighs 11lbs 13 oz and everything is great! I think he's perfect, however the doc was a little concerned that he only gained 2oz since she saw him last month and started talking to me about different options. She mentioned formula first and I'm sorry, but that one got shot down instantly. NOT because I'm opposed to feeding my baby formula, but because we've tried to and he absolutely hates it!!

Not kidding.

So then she said we should start feeding him solids. She said to try rice cereal for 7 to 10 days and then we can start him on veggies! Yes! I am so excited! When I first gave Easton a bit of cereal he did not know what to think. He kept spitting it out and making funny faces. I couldn't decide if he didn't like it because I mixed it with formula or if it was because it was something new and different. (I actually tried it once before the doctor even said to :)) Now I pump so I can mix the cereal with breast milk and he LOVES IT! Yesterday I even gave him a little more than usual because he scarfed the first bowl down. What a little piggy! We go back to the doctor at 5 months to get his height and weight checked again so I will let you all know how it goes. Here's a video of Easton the first time he tried his new food. His face cracks me up :)

If he wouldn't have eaten it I'm sure Callie would have.... she was very interested.

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! He turned 25 on January 30th. I'm a little late I know, but better late than never. He got a few Wii games that he wanted... Gold Eye and a new one that came out called Mario Sports Mix (something had to be a surprise). We also had a fun Minute to Win It themed party (which I will go into a little later). The day after his birthday we went and walked around Ikea and went to the Brazilion Bull, one of his favorite restaraunts. If you've never been there its amazing. Even better when you go for lunch and you are the ONLY people there. You get full a lot faster when you're they constantly are bringing you food. Pretty freaking awesome!

Also, Jameson gets a call from our 6 year old nephew on his birthday to wish him a happy birthday. This is how the conversation went...

(Keep in mind he lives in Utah many miles away)

Bailey asks: "How old are you Uncle Jameson?"

Jams: "I'm getting old Bailey. I'm 25. That's half way over the hill now."

Bailey: "Really? That hill over there? Wait.... I see you! Hi Uncle Jameson! Can you see me?"

(He was driving to McDonalds at the time)

Jams: "Ha... Yeah I see you Bailey."

I had to mention to Jameson after wards that over the hill is actually 40 and he hit that half way mark 5 years ago :) Bailey also like to fabricate stories and its just so fun to play along to see where he will go with it. He went on to tell Jameson that he just turned 17 and that he could drive a car now, date, and everything. Gotta love it!

Now onto the Minute to Win It party. It was a success! I decided to post some pictures of the "Face the Cookie" game to let everyone vote on which one they think is the best face... I just can't decide on my own :)

Happy Valentines Day!!

I realized yesterday that a year ago on Valentines Day we found out we were pregnant. What a wonderful adventure it has been. Happy Valentines Day to all! Here is me with my newest Valentine. I couldnt pass up this chance to snuggle, one of my absolute favorite things in the world.. when he gives it to me.
