Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

A Christmas tradition we started last year when Easton was a wee little baby is buying her a new Christmas ornament every year for her tree. I bought a little 3' tree after Thanksgiving that is pre-lit and perfect in size for her. Of course since last year was the first year and everyone was excited she received just a few more than one. A lot are Baby's 1st Christmas ones, but there a few others that are fun and cute and have nothing to do with her 1st Christmas. The idea behind buying a new Christmas ornament every year is to reflect what went on in Easton's life that year. What happened? What was she into? When I stumbled across this little guy on Hallmark's website I just knew it was the ornament for 2011. It fit Easton to a T...Ball, monkey, and books. Every time she sees an object that is round... it's a ball. She loves monkeys. Her monkey pajamas, saying mokey, and the song 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. And she is a bookworm! She loves to try to read, to be read to, to carry around books, and to bring you books.

Christmas Time with The Bosleys

Tis the season....
Which means in the Bosley household we cut down our Christmas tree...

The perfect one must be found...

Daddy does most of the work and we love him for that!

Decorating is soooo much fun! Especially when I can pull out all the ribbon (see pile of red ribbon behind little britches)

Lots of lights is a must!

Lots of ornamets too.
And it wouldn't be Christmas without a John Deere Tractor on your tree...
Of course everyone needs to take a trip to Bass Pro to see Santa...
Lets not forget about the fishies...
A bear... Oh my...

Never too young to learn how to shot...
Hugs for Dada

Santa, I want this!
oooowww presents...
And finally a sit down with Santa!

Our Toddler! Update....

It has been a long time since I've given an Easton update. Geeez... almost 4 months! For the first year of her life I was giving monthly updates and then just like that they come to a holt. The monthly pictures too! We did take her to the doctor for her 15 month check up at the end of October and she weighted 22 lbs. and was 30" long. Here are some of my favorite Easton things:

Her NOOOO as she runs down the hall naked. She does it every night before bath time.
Her wet and sometimes open mouth kisses.
The hugs and pats you receive from her at random moments. She is a lover.
The two white and shiny teeth on bottom and her two that are slowly but surely coming in on top.
Her "Pleeeeaaase" and "Gank You"
The curiosity she has for everything
Her desire to wear chap stick like her Momma
Her need to help. Whether it’s feeding the dogs, giving treats, or throwing something away. She loves to assist.
How ticklish she is on her feet, belly, and thighs.
She is a Momma's girl
Her adorable “Mooooo” when you ask her what sound does a cow make
She is definitely a meat and veggie kind of girl. No carbs for her!
How independent she wants to be
Her love for jumping on her bed, our bed, and couch
Like her daddy, she loves music. Her head bob is adorable!

As hard as it was I picked a couple of my favorite photos from our family photo session with Kelley Photo. She does AMAZING work. We love her! These were taken the last Saturday in October.... a super windy day.

Brrrr... Baby It's Cold Outside!

Seriously... I don't know what it is about a coat that makes my baby look like a little girl and not a baby.

Oatmeal Sensory Tupperware Box

I am obsessed with Pinterest. During one of many 1 hour scrolling sessions I found these things called sensory boxes. Stumbling upon them couldn't have been better timing. I say this because Josh was been traveling a lot for work... I mean A LOT! This means lots of evenings where I need to make dinner and entertain a toddler at the same time. Thus I bring you Easton's dry oatmeal Tupperware box:

Yes, she eats the oatmeal...

Yes, this can be messy, but isn't that the fun of being a kid. Plus I just vacuum it up or let the dogs lick it up. This even works great in her highchair.

Big Girl Seat!

After many, many conversations with Josh, we decided it was time to turn Easton forward facing. And let me tell you it is like a whole new world for her. She absolutely loves seeing what is ahead of her instead of what has passed. Below is the first time she rode forward facing. It was early this past Saturday morning and her and Josh were headed to the vet while I stayed home and cooked a yummy breakfast. Oh, and she is so super cute. When I turn around and check on her she will just start waving at me like "Hey Mom! I am here just relaxin' and enjoying the view".
