We've still had the worst luck with being sick. I believe we have been sick at least once a month since November. This month Easton had viral tonsillitis, last month he had another cold, and the month before he caught a minor case of croup(again). I am just praying that this year has built up his immune system and we will not have these problems quite as bad in the future. My late bloomer in the teeth department now has 12 teeth to account for. One day I almost lost a finger trying to feel to see if he had anymore teeth coming in. I won't make that mistake again. Oh, Easton also had his tubes put in back in February. He did great of course and they seem to be working well. He has not had any ear infections since.
I have been wondering when Easton would really get interested in toys .At 18 months I did notice that he started playing with his toys alot more. I actually had alot of his toys from his birthday and Christmas that we never opened because he wasn't interested in them yet. They are all out now and my living room looks like a play ground. Easton will sit and play by himself for a good while now. His favorites are puzzles and balls. He is still very obsessed with Mickey Mouse. This weekend while he was sick I promise you that we watched at least 20 episodes of Mickey.
My little guy is also quite the talker. He basically repeats everything you say now. Of course, he shortens them to two word phrases. Everything belongs to someone these days for example: mama's book, daddy's shoes, paw paw's hat, and etc. He also puts together a few three word phrases- I see you- was the first three words he put together. Somewhere over the last few months he dropped the word yes from his vocabulary and started answering every question with a NO. You can also ask him what color something is and it is always the color yellow. He can say all of his colors but identifying them is a whole other story.
We have had a couple adventures over the last few months. Easton went to the Circus for the first time. It didn't really go that great. I think he was too young, but we went with his friend Aiden who is 14 months older than E and Aiden seemed to really enjoy it. So maybe in another year or two we will be able to do more of the sit and watch activities. We also went to the rodeo which was a big hit. He is in love with animals especially horses and cows so he had a great time at the rodeo. It was a little lengthy and late so we did not stay for it all but it was an overall good experience.
Last but not least we celebrated Easton's second Easter. Our festivities were more spread out over the month so that made things a little easier. We started with the church egg hunt. E was pretty good at finding the eggs. Although I think he was one up on the other kids because every time he picked up an egg he opened it to get the prize out. By the end of the hunt the other kids had a ton of eggs and Easton only had a few because he spent most of the hunting time digging inside the eggs. Next, we had the children's program at church. The nursery kids were invited to be a part of the program. That was quite adventurous and I am sure we will never be asked to take part in something like that again. My child almost took a nose dive off the stage, once I saved him from that he decided to lay in the floor for a bit. It was cute though, we got plenty of laughs(not our intention). Finally Easter Sunday came and we went to a wonderful church service and then went to visit Jack Jack and Gi Gi for a bit. We ended the day with Grandma. My moms side of the family had another egg hunt. They are the only ones who still have kids young enough to hunt. So we practiced Easton's hunting skills again and it went about the same. Overall it was a great time and plastic eggs are still popping up at my house.
