Grandma, Snow, and Crib Jumping



Yep, my mom is here. It is fantastic. She got here last week and since then I think I have showered every day and even been able to start exercising again! Easton is thrilled to have her here also...a small part of that excitement might be the fact that Grandma gives him a present every single day (and sometimes 2 presents). I'm sure that once she leaves he won't quite understand why he doesn't get presents anymore!
Owen is doing great. He is a good little sleeper and good eater and at this age that's about all you can hope for. We have been getting out a bit too. Last week I went with my friend Emily to Imaginosity, the children's museum here...it's a lot like the kids museum at the Gateway in SLC. Also, it snowed here in Dublin 2 weeks ago which is a pretty rare occurance. I got Easton bundled up and I think he got to play in the snow for 5 days in a row...not bad for living on a rainy island.
In more somber news, Easton has finally learned and mastered climbing out of his crib. Boo. It is giving us quite a few headaches especially since not only is he climbing out but he's doing it at 5am. He comes into our room saying "I no like this bed." Looks like a toddler bed and perhaps a locked door are in our future.
Here are a few pics of the last 2 weeks:

Easton playing in and eating the snow (yeah, what you see is pretty much the extent of the snow we got and that shut down the entire Dublin airport for an entire day.)

Easton in his new stroller blanket thingy...it is awesome

Easton got this bubble blower for V-day from his Grandpa and Grandma Nancy...loves it.

At a glance your mom looks so much like you. How nice that your mom came! That must've been nice to have her around. Oh, climbing out of the crib at 5 am? Good luck!

Easton was always the smart one. So, other than the annoyance it causes, I am proud of him figuring it out. Sorry guys. Owen looks adorable, dad says that he looks like Easton at that age. You have some way cute kids.
