Meet Brudess

One year when my sister mom and I were shopping at American Eagle my mom spotted this stuffed dog. My mom has a thing for stuffed animals so she of course bought it. Fast forward like 8 years later and this stuffed puppy was on a shelf in "The Tator Room" aka Everett's room at my mom and dads. Everett decided for what ever reason to fall in love with this dog. He takes it everywhere with him and takes his coat, boats, and glasses off when he gets home and puts them all on before he can leave the house. He even forgot him once at my parents and Grandpa came to the rescue and brought him into town at 9:00 at night.

I love that the kiddos have special stuffed animals truth be told I still sleep with a teddy bear :)

Oh The Things Everett Says

This is our conversation on the way home yesterday.

Everett: Why do Gas Trucks stop at Rail Road tracks?
Me: Because they want to be sure there isn't a train coming so they don't cause an explosion
Everett: Will School Buses explode too?
Me: No they stop because they have so many kiddos in the bus
Everett: Why
Me: Because kiddos are precious cargo so they want to be extra safe
Everett: If a truck had a race car in it would it stop to be safe
Me: no, only if the lights were on.
Everett: But, Mom a Race car is precious cargo too!

Only Cody's son would compare children and cars as "precious." Yup my 5 year old is a motor head!

Our Sweet Baby Is SIX Months Old

Dear Easton,
 Where has time gone? I can't believe you are already 6mos! Even more I can't believe how much you have grown, you are so close to crawling, you scoot everywhere. The day will come very soon when you figure out how to pop those knees up and I will be in trouble. You can sit alone when your not paying attention but if I set you up you tumble right over. You no longer want anything to do with your paci or your swing.

 You have many loves one is your Jumperoo I think you would spend hours in it if I let you. Another is rolling around on the floor playing with your toys. You take at least 2 naps, sometimes you take a nap in the evening. 
 You will go to pretty much anyone but especially like when Everett hold you or plays with you. You spend a lot of time just watching him in amazement and I have no doubt you will grow to be great friends. 
 You drink between 6oz to 8oz of Simlilac Sensitive, and still nurse. You have cereal at night that your not a huge fan of. We started baby food about a week ago, you don't care much for squash or peas but liked the bananas. You wear Flip cloth diapers and 6 to 9mos clothes.
 You are the happiest sweetest baby and we all love you so very much. You have completed our family and I feel truly blessed to call you my son.

Love Mom

Merry Christmas From Our Family To Yours!
