SANTA came to our house!!!

Whew...what a big morning we have had at the Eason house! Year after year we talk about trimming things down but I swear the gifts keep multiplying! We are certainly overly blessed and this CHRISTmas season I am really feeling that. We love our families so much and are incredibly fortunate that they are willing to travel to see us. We certainly miss our families at home and can't wait until we're together again!

Here are some pictures of the merriment that went on this morning at our house:

Hayes with his Uncle Jack...I realize this picture is sideways but I could not fix it no matter how many times I tried! Hayes will reach for Uncle Jack even when I am holding him (that's huge...he doesn't even do that with Joey very often :O)

Hayes got a train set from his great-grandparents a talking car set with a mat from his grandparents....here he is showing us that he can play with them at the same time.

The first thing Hayes did when he saw his stash of Santa goodies was get them off his blanket! He must have thought that Santa was trying to pull a fast one on him and was trying to hide his blanket!

We love you all and miss you lots! Have a very Merry Christmas and I hope to see you all soon!

I'm a big boy now...

My son will have to be described as fiercely independent...he does not want our help with anything that he thinks he can do for himself. This includes:

- drinking out of a regular cup (can't drink out of a sippy when in their presence
- eating - the time has passed where he looks to mom and dad for assistance. He wants none of it unless he does it!

These also happen to be the messiest things we do ;)

He still loves to snuggle and looks for comfort from us which is enough to keep us going ;)

P.S. Check out that hair!!

Merry Christmas!

We are a very happy family this week! Joey and I have the week off and we are getting to stay home and not rush around the southeast chasing our families! We are so incredibly blessed that our wonderful families have agreed to come see us!

The Easons just left today after a quick but great trip up here. Hayes' Aunt Emlyn brought him these precious Santa pjs and we were so happy to see her!!

15 (or 16-ish) month check-up

We went to the doctor today for a check-up. Hayes is now 26# 15oz (up from 26-ish 3 months ago) and a whopping 85cm/33in in height!!! He is about 75th percentile for weight and 95th for height!! WHOA...he jumped up a notch or two on the height...he might be as tall a his Papa Eason or at least his Uncle Jack?!

He got 4 shots AND a finger stick (recheck if his lead level because it came back at 4 and should be ZERO!) so that's enough to make any cool guy a little pissy. He wasn't happy but calmed down as soon as we got in the car and left that place in the dust!

I love my big/tall boy so much!

Feeding myself is SO messy!

But SO fun ;)

You are not a southern baby if....
