What an interesting 3 months its been. Since Easton has been born we have faced a lot of challenges as well as seen many blessings in our lives. I want to start off with my sweet kids and update the blog on their developments.

Oakley is now 19 months old. She weighs 21 pounds and is 29 inches. She is growing up and becoming quite the beauty. She keeps us very busy and entertained. Everyday I am surprised by her and catch my self thinking, "wow she is so amazing".
OHH the things she can do:
*WALK up and down the stairs with out holding on to the railing or someone's hand
(Everyone that knows Oakley knows how short her little legs are... 29" tall is very little for her age. I don't know how she does it)
*she can almost do a somersault with out help
*climb out of the pack n play
*do a hand stand in the pack n play
*jump
*take off her cloths and diaper
*put on ANY type and anyONEs shoes by her self
*sleep in a big girl bed
*go potty in the potty (we are in the middle of potty training)
*she loves to sing
*she climbs up on everything. She loves to climb up on the table and counters and dance, and walk around and get into trouble.
*Eats her food with a fork and spoon... Still messy but getting better
*screw on and unscrew lids (unfortunately)
*fasten seat belts and buckles on the baby's swing, car seat, and her high chair
*crawls around and pretends shes a kitty and doggy
*We will ask her to point to a cow for example in a book and she will and then says Mooo
*reads her self a book
*has full conversations on the phone
*text people haha
*call
*leads the music at church

Easton is 3 months old. He weighs 12 pounds and is 23 inches long. He is a little baldy with blue eyes and long eye lashes. He is very smiley and sweet. His little personality is really starting to come out. Easton knows his mommy and daddy, he can smile, giggle,hold his head up well and roll over(not bad for 3 months old and being severely sick. He loves to smile and jabber to everyone that looks at him.
He has been such a blessing to us. I love having two beautiful children. I don't know what I would do with out either of them. Oakley loves Easton so much. She loves to hold him and make him smile. He is very tough and patient with her while she tries to pick him up, sit on him, climb in the swing with him and shove the binky in his mouth. I LOVE HAVING TWO!!!!! They already love each other so much and nothing makes me happier than seeing them interact and love each other.

LIFE ALWAYS HAS ITS CHALLENGES AND SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO SEE THE GOOD IN THEM. BUT! WE ARE MAKING IT THROUGH AND SEEING MORE AND MORE BLESSINGS COME OUR WAY THROUGH OUR FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD.

When Easton was 1 month old I was admitted to the hospital for four days. I had a horrible kidney infection, dehydration and some other problems they are still trying to figure out. Two weeks after I was released, Easton came down with RSV along with all the kids I babysit and Oakley. Easton only being 6 weeks old, could not handle it very well. We were doing breathing treatments and taking him to the hospital every 6hrs to have them suck out his nose and monitor his breathing. The worse came and went but he never seemed to get all the way better. I then got very sick again and spent some more time in the hospital getting IVS and having tests ran. We then moved out of our house in one day and are currently staying at Eric's parents house until our new house opens up on the 22 of this month. Seven more weeks passed since Easton had RSV and I ended up taking him back into the doctor because he was still having a hard time breathing, coughing a ton, and crying all day and all night long. They put him on medicine for acid reflux and told us his lungs still sounded bad and sent us over to get a chest x-ray on him. Two days later they called us and told us he had pneumonia. They put him on another antibiotic and two steroid breathing treatments. They wanted us to go back in at the end of the week to check his sats and listen to his lungs. His lungs were still junky and his sats were still low so they admitted him to the hospital. They put him on more antibiotics and steroids through IV and pumped him with lots of fluids. WOW what a difference the fluids did for him. They were able to send him home the next day. THANKFULLY! In the meantime of all this they told me they received my EGD results and they think i have Celiac disease which is the gluten allergy.
Life as you can tell has been crazy,busy, and a little bit scary. I have never been so thankful for the power of the priesthood and the love and support from family and friends!! We are so blessed!
