A Kentucky Derby Bachelorette Affair!

Mommy had a girls weekend in Oklahoma! It was also the first time I drank since finding out I was pregnant! Yikes... don't worry I didn't even get drunk. I did however have a fabulous time with a great group of ladies. Daddy and Easton of course had a great daddy-daughter weekend.

The theme for the bachelorette party was the Kentucky Derby.. hints the hats. My Aunt Rita did my hat, Lacey's and another bridesmaid. She did a fabulous job. So below we are at the horse races. I had never been and the first bet I place my horse won! Sister Shelly Rose brought me $13.40! Score! I only paid $2.00 for the ticket!

The Bride- Lacey


At the Ice House! Not sure what is going on with my hat!


This was a disgusting drink! But hey it smoked because of the dry ice in it!

11 Months!

Like I said the Bosley household has been super busy. Which means we were about a week late getting Easton's 11 month pictures taken and even later getting them up on the blog. Nonetheless, she is a 11 months and a full of energy! Some highlights of the past month...

- Food... she loves to eat. EVERYTHING! Well almost everything. We have booted babyfood and have gone to "adult" food. She feeds her self... well the best she can. A lot ends up in the highchair or overboard, but she enjoys feeding herself. The dogs are also enjoying this phase too!
- Talking- EVERYTHING is a dog. She points a the ceiling fan.. dog? She points at me... dog? Yes, she sometimes will point at the dogs and say dog. She has the whole Dada and Mama thing down and now knows to associate me with mama and Josh with dada. No... she will say no to us, Nana, the dogs, whoever. Baby... This one as a couple of different versions, Babe, Baba and Baby. My theory where this came from is 10% me because I will say Heeeyyy Baba to her on occasion. But the other 90% is from little Ms. Ava and Mr. Ethan Cook (Mandy's daughter and son) every morning they say "Good morning Baby when we come in or "Hi baby" or "Can I hold Baby" or something Baby. If you can't tell they LOVE Easton.
- Still in size 3 diapers.
- I have officially stopped nursing so she gets 8 oz. of breakmilk in a bottle three times a day. We have started putting breastmilk in a sippy cup at breakfast time. She does fabulous with it! We are slowly transitioning away from the bottle to the sippy cup.
- Oh clothes... The other day she wore a 3-6 mo. onesie. I know... seriously. She can wear 12 month onesies, but they are a little big around he belly and legs. Length they are perfect. Now bottoms... she needs 6-9 months. So basically we have WIDE range of clothes in the closet!
- She has taken a few steps, but she really isn't walking. Just cruising the furniture, baby gates and whatever else she can cling on to. Easton can stand by herself for long periods of time.
- She now has attitude! Like her Daddy! Ha! Wants what she wants when she wants it! But that rarely comes out and majority of the time she is our happy giggly little girl!
- She still doesn't have a single tooth! Crazy, I know.
-She is our little dare devil. She loves to be thrown in the air and fears nothing.
-She is still a great sleeper and continues to sleep through the night for us.
- Peek-a-boo is one of her favorite games. She loves to run/walk around our ottman and be chased!
-When you ask her where your nose is... she will point to your nose.
-Loves to climb up you and onto the ottman. I pretty sure the ottman was the best purchased ever!!!

Weight- 18lbs. 1 oz.

Height- 28"

Hair bows are no longer an option. She loves to yank them off her head so currently we are boycotting them.

Daddy's Day 2011

Josh had a fabulous first Father's Day! He really really really wanted the smoke box for his grill. So Easton came through and got her Daddy what he reeeaaaallly wanted. We had family over Sunday and we BBQ. It was a nice and relaxing family Sunday! So I am going to get all sappy on you. I believe Josh was born to be a Dad. Strike that... Josh was born to be a Dad to a little girl. He is absolutely wonderful with his daughter. Seriously in 3 years I can totally see him seating at a child size table with Easton having tea and cookies with all her stuffed animals. Of course he will be all dressed up girly and be happy as can be about!

From the day we found out we were pregnant...

Josh has been an outstanding Dad...

I really couldn't ask for a better person to call my husband and father to our daughter.

Happy Father's Day to my Dad also! He is the greatest Dad in the world. I can always count on him and he has taught me so many things in life! I hope I am half the parent he was to my brother and I.

Cruising!

Easton is so close to walking! She cruises the furniture like it's no ones business. We recently purchased a big round leather ottoman that she loves to walk around. Here are some pictures of Easton cruising!

Hello Big Girl Food!!! Good-bye Baby Food

June 6th, after a weekend in Arkansas, we began introducing Easton to "Adult" food. I am pretty we are enjoying the process just as much as her. I love watching her try new foods! How her nose crinkles when it tastes sour or if she doesn't like it or if she REALLY likes something she bangs her feet and waves her hands up and down in excitement. Just to name a few things she loves to eat....

• Scrambled Eggs (even hotel scrambled eggs)


• Bananas


• Grapes


• Spaghetti


• Meatballs


• Macaroni and Cheese


• Peas


• Apples


• Carrots


• Sweet Potatoes


• Pancakes


• Chicken Nuggets


• Strawberries


• Ice Cream


• Hamburger


• Watermelon

We have only found two things Easton really doesn't like... blueberries and zucchini. Even though she doesn't have any teeth, Easton can put away some food. The other night she had 2 1/2 two inch meaastballs with rice, grapes and some broccoli. Of course this has benefited us too. We keep more fruit in the house and we are more concious about consuming our food groups. We eat better! We prepare Easton's food ourselves. I have steamer bags that I steam sweet pototoes in. I boil her apples and carrots to make them tender. We cut every thing up into tiny pieces so she can gum them to mush.

Easton is such an awesome eater! I love that she isn't picky and enjoys eating. It is important to us that Easton gets a well balanced meal. Her little body is growing every day along with her mind and right now we can control what she consumes. One day we will not be able to so we want to instill in her the imporatnce of a good meal.

It is no secret that my husband LOVES ice cream. He would eat it every night as a snack before bed if I would keep our freezer stocked with it. I would also... so that's why I don't keep our freeze stocked with ice cream. Daddy, I am going to attache your ice cream!

What... you don't use sweet potatoes to style your hair?!



Yummm-O... Sweet potatoes and apples.

Sweet Potatoes and Peas!

Don't even think about touching my watermelon!

June Shower and June Wedding...

Geeezzz... it's been a month since I blogged. Welp, that is just how busy the Bosley household is these days. We have put some miles on the Tahoe and have paid for Quik Trip CEO's yachts. Seriously we have had something on every weekend since the beginning of May and I have traveled out of town 3 of the 4 weekends of June! Crazy! Did I mention during all this I have also been working on Bridal Shower projects, Bachelorette Party planning, A very special 1st Birthday, weaning my boobs and Easton from nursing, trying to ditch the baby weight and still trying to manage to keep my house from looking like a dump. I am exhausted. Glad you all listened to me whine! Ok, on with it. I am gonna try and get caught up!

The first weekend in June we headed to Arkansas for Lacey's 2nd shower for family and friends in Arkansas. I have mentioned before that my daughter refuses to sleep more than an hour and a half in her car seat? It is an 8 hour drive to my Memaw and Papaw's house. She slept for 1 1/2 hours of that ride. The rest of the time she ate, played and chit chatted.

Cousins!



The second weekend in June we took a family road trip to Coffeyville, KS for Josh's cousin's wedding. We left Saturday morning and arrived at our hotel with an hour to spare. We unpacked and got dressed. The wedding was at the Brown Mansion. Gorgeous!!! It was an outdoor wedding. So as soon as Josh and I sat we busted out the sunblock and hat. A burnt baby is no fun! It was a gorgeous wedding, the bridge, April, looked FABULOUS and it was great to see family!



Reading the program! Yep, she is advanced for her age :)

Then add Josh's uncle Homer.


Family Photo... only Momma is looking at the camera... Hmm...


This was the first time we stayed in a hotel with Easton. What we learned:

• There is not a room big enough for all our stuff!


• The mesh screen on the pack play must be covered with a blanket so Easton can not see us.


• You are never too young to roll, jump and play on a hotel bed.


• A walker is a must! Easton could cruise around in it while we got ready.


• When its time for Easton to go to bed... its also time for Mommy and Daddy to go to bed.
