The Boys

Is my baby really going to start crawling soon. Ace has mastered getting up on all 4's and even starting to scoot backwards. I cannot believe at a little over 6 months he is on his way to crawling. Easton took forever to finally crawl. I don't think I'm ready to have Ace start crawling yet. That means i have to go through the entire house and baby proof it, put up baby gates and watch him more closely as to what he's going to get in to. Right now he's so easy because he just sits there and cannot move...oh boy....things are going to change when he really gets the nack of crawling. So exciting :)

Poor Easton has been struggling at daycare lately. Vicky says he is such a follower. One little boy in particular is getting Easton in trouble all the time. It's not the little boy getting him in trouble...it's Easton following whatever the every Brayden does which gets him in trouble. The other day Vicky took them both into the bathroom to go potty since they were both starting to potty train...well she left them alone and after a few seconds could hear them laughing and just having fun...she proceeded to go in to the bathroom and here they both were with their hands arms length in the toilet splashing the water out. Thankfully neither of them had used the actual bathroom yet but still..apparently water was everywhere. Both boys were in trouble and were unable to play outside and had to take their naps early. Hopefully Easton will realize that following Brayden will result in him always getting in trouble. Maybe he'll learn that he needs to do his own thing and be a leader and not a follower. He normally does excellent at daycare...

Easton had his very first dream the other night. Now that we got Ace sleeping through the night...of course the other one would have to wake up. I woke up to Easton crying...i went in there and asked him what was wrong and all he said was...it's scary...it's scary...I asked him what was scary and he pointed over by his little table...all he kept saying was..it's scary mom...it's scary...i told him that he had a dream and that dreams aren't real and to try and go back to sleep. Thankfully he didn't wake up Ace and was able to go back to sleep. The next morning the first thing he said to me was "dream was scary mom...really scary". I didn't think they remembered their dreams but apparently Easton did and all he says now is dream was scary....poor guy.

Ace is loving actual real food. He has such strong chompers that it makes me nervous giving him real people food since he can chomp them off in big pieces. He's tried so far..string cheese, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, green beans, pizza, scrambled eggs, banana's, apples, peaches, spaghetti, chicken, steak and pork...he really liked the corn on the cob. He tends to gag on everything which i think is normal but it still makes me so nervous. Easton was a choker when he started real food...i am almost certain Ace will be a choker as well.
