Chunkin Chortle

Emma 6 m0, Kael 8 mo, Easton 1 mo

Casey's brother CJ came home from his mission last week and so we had lots of family in town for his homecoming address. We also blessed Easton on Sunday. As many of you know Casey called the baby Chort before he got here. The name kind of stuck and now several family members lovingly call him Chort. Elora, sister to Kael, likes to call Easton Chunkin Chortle. It's pretty funny considering how chunky Kael is. Kael is massive and probably one of the jolliest babies you will ever meet. I had to get some pictures of Easton next to him because its comical really.

Sock Monkey

Easton loves to fling his arms like a crazy person! He has been scratching his face so much that I finally gave in and put some mittens on. The mittens did not stay due to his crazy arm flinging and so I resorted to socks! He looks so silly but I love it and it prevents the nasty scratches on his tiny darling face! Love my little sock monkey ;)

1 month old!!!!

This picture is too funny. I found this little tie

and just had to get it for Easton. He looks ticked

in this picture.

He was slowly sliding down as I took the picture.

We are still working on posing for photos.

Easton is 1 month in this picture. I cannot believe

He is a month old. It has gone by so fast.

practice photo shoot

My friend Shelby has an awesome camera and asked if she could "practice" doing a newborn photo session with Easton. I was super excited because she was willing to do it for free. Easton is just a week old in these pictures and I think for her first time taking pictures of a newborn she did an awesome job! Thank you Shelby for capturing our precious boy!!

How do you like to sleep?

I don't think there is any question what position Easton likes to sleep in. We try to swaddle him all nice and tight and he freaks out. He immediately starts squirming until his hands are up by his face. This can get tricky because he ends up whacking himself in the face and it usually wakes him up or pops out the binki. He definitely has a strong little personality :)

tub time

Baby E loves bath time. Without fail he pees the second he gets settled in to that warm water. This is very disturbing to me and so I usually am holding him up out of the pee water trying to get him clean. This is not an easy task. Bath time for me is a little stressful, but he loves it!!

First 4th of July

This is our first family photo. Aren't my boys handsome? I realized I didn't have any pictures of the three of us together, ( not in love with my post baby self ) so I gave in and let Kim snap a photo of us. Easton looked so patriotic in his little red white and blue. He is getting bigger and it is breaking my heart. This tiny phase won't last very long and so I am trying to cherish it and enjoy him as a newborn. I cannot believe he is already 3 weeks old!
