Sayonara, "4th Trimester", Smalls is three months old!! We have so many dang nicknames for this kid that I'm pretty sure his first "Hello..." name tag's gonna look something like this:
Ok, moment of truth...let's see how big our little homie has gotten:
Alright, well, doesn't seem that he's gotten that much bigger but the changes in his motor skills development have been a little more noticeable. He's now able to grip and hold on to toys (right now his Air Force bear and Goldy the Gopher are in a heated battle for his affections)and he's also starting to put almost everything he can find into his mouth...to include his entire hand! One of these days he's going to finally figure out that he cannot milk his fingers... Smalls is rolling over almost every time he's on his tummy and is cooing and squeaking all the time. He's still spitting up quite a bit though so that stinks (literally). Felt so bad for him tonight...He was all swaddled and I burped him while he was was pretty much face-flat on my shoulder..."Burp!"...I pick him up and there's puke all over his face - to include in his eyeball!! #momfail :(
Here's a video (about 1 minute) of him throwing some keys and holding his rattle...exciting for me, possibly dull for you!
Anywhoo...it's been an action packed 3rd month to say the least. I started work and already left on a week-long TDY (translated: work trip...temporary duty) to O'Fallon, IL and Oklahoma City, OK with a few more on the horizon, unfortunately. Jace killed it as single dad for the week though and I can really tell by the way Easton lights up when Daddy walks in the room that the two did some serious bonding. Watching the two of them makes me so happy...Jace is such a great dad. :)
My Twins gear finally fits!!
Yea, right there...yep, that's perfect...thanks, Dad!
Sup, Dusty?
So freaking happy we have the
MLB Extra Innings package
Well it's gettin late here so it's off to bed for los padres...yep started this post in japanese and am now ending in spanish...no big deal. HA. Much love, peeps!
Seriously, Mom...a blue dog?!
I think the car seat is the best
growth chart!
P.S. If you've read this far and want to help me out with something please tell me which one of these layouts you like the best (please leave as a comment in blog if you can). I've spray-painted the letters/frames brown and plan to hang the arrangement over Easton's changing table.
Table is 5 feet wide

P.S.S The blogging bug has bitten my mother! She's going to teach you all what retirement living is all about - check her blog out here: tomlinson2.blogspot.com
Happy 3 months Easton! What a lovely blog. We vote for #1 and #2. The wall is going to be amazing, such a cutie! Can't wait to see/hold/hug/kiss him again! My blog is really bad and LONG way to go. Off to dinner. xoxox, Gparents
Loving your blog Ali. You and Jace seem to really have this parenting thing down - I especially like the educational TV he's watching with Daddy! I'd go for #2. I like #4 too, but I would put the E in the top-middle and D and A on the bottom corners. Hope to see you soon once we're in the same country (and same coast) again! love ya, Sara
Easton Douglas Anders - 3 days old More pictures @ http://www.our365.com/ He's here, he's here!!! Jace and I welcomed our son Easton Douglas to the world this past Saturday, April 16th at 4:22 PM and we couldn't be more proud. It was an awesome experience...not so much in the "incredibly cool, can't wait to do it again" context but genuinely in AWE of how mother nature and modern medicine can work together to ease a woman and efficiently deliver a baby. Before I tell you all a little bit about our story (again, no worries, I won't blast all the nitty gritty across your screen) I must say a HUGE thank you to our staff at Winchester Hospital. Though I know not a single of of those doctors, nurses and other staff members will read this they will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the outstanding service and love they showed all three of us!! They exceeded any expectations Jace and I might have had and just had to throw that out there. ...
Jace has been in MN since Thursday braving the cold with Team Franchise at the 2011 US Pond Hockey Championship . The team made it to Sunday again this year but unfortunately couldn't get by the "Pulled Hammies" this morning to advance to the finals. Better luck next year, boys! :( So, since he's been gone I've been catching up on projects around the homestead since it's been so damn cold outside. On Thursday night I scanned in about 80 old family photos that I had received over the years from my Aunt Kathleen. I decided to do this because I'm building an online baby book for mini-Ma$e and you can add pictures - thought it'd be fun to add some old family photos. Anyway, I won't overload you with too many but here are some of my favorites...the rest can be viewed here . Moving on... Friday started off with another snowstorm - excellent. Hanscom was open for business...well, that is, for everyone ex...
We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
