5 Months

(sorry cant get the pictures to load upright)

He is about 17lbs now

Easton turned 5 months the day after Christmas.. He doesn’t look like a 5 month old though.. He looks more like 7- 8 months..

-Easton is still a very scheduled little man, he functions very well on a schedule just like his momma :) this drives Daddy crazy sometimes but he doesn’t mind too much since i have lightened up a bit on it

-Eating 5 oz every 3-4 hours now, still napping 3 times a day

-He is eating cereal 3 times a day and loves it.. sometimes I think I could just sit and feed him all day long and he would be a happy man..

- Easton celebrated his first Christmas in Holbrook this year, with his uncle Stratty aunt Jessica, aunt Ri, Aunt Karson grandma and grandpa Loni and Great grandma Beverly, he was spoiled by Santa this year, i think he made out better than all of us :) there was still snow on the ground, he didn’t play in it was too cold for him. He

-Easton tried his first bite of homemade green beans and homemade sweet potatoes, which he DID NOT like, even tried mixing with cereal and did not want that either, i also tried homemade peas, yea no didn’t want that either.

-we are taking a little break on the baby food at this time as easton has gotten sick, runny, nose, wet cough, fussy for the first time... he is sick, but still a happy baby except when it comes to napping he wants to be held or in our bed. Poor little buy.. But oh so cuddly

- he is now going to bed at 830p-9p, which gives me and braden more time to catch up and get things done around the house.

-he has learned to finally roll from back to belly and vice versa and will push himself around in circles when he is on his belly

-he has turned in to a tummy sleeper, so all the stuffed animals and blankets are now removed from his crib. His favorite spot in his is crib in the upper left corner and loves to face the wall.

- Easton has started to recognize Sadie alot more and they are becoming great friends.. Easton loves to pull on Sadie’s ears and mouth and Sadie just takes it (what a nice doggy) they just love each other and I know they will be the best of friends as they grow up together.

4 months old

I have been slacking on the bloggin.... heres a couple posts

(4 months- i forgot to get a good picture so this will have to do)

- He still sleeping thru the night, he upped his bedtime to 930p (very nice)

- He started eating cereal 3 times a day (which has really helped his reflux)

- He is taking 3 set naps a day: 9a 1p and 4p, still drinking 5oz of formula, eating almost every 3-3.5 hours now

- He contracted his first viral infection and mostly drank plain pediaytle for about a week and finally got better

- He made his first trip to Holbrook in Nov and it was very cold for Thanksgiving, (this was his 3nd  car trip and did way better this time around and we took sadie with us and she kept Easton company in the back seat

- We then made our first trip to Utah, we drove to Holbrook first, spent the night, then headed to Utah bright and early 6am, for our 10 hour drive me to meet grandma Loni for her dad Milt's funeral. We were gone for almost a week and Easton was in thecar a lot(his longest car trip so far) .. He was over the car and carseat by about day 3... He met alot of his cousins for the very first time and his great grandma Shirley (who just adored him and loved on him alot)

-Easton made his first Bear Lake trip, where Grandma Loni and Braden spent most of their summers. We spent a the night at Aunt Monte’s cabin ( was super nice) and Easton got to experience -5 degree weather which he DID NOT like at all.. (This was partof our funeral trip - Grandpa Milt was buried next to his son Devero at Bear Lake.)

Bear Lake- The Cash Cabin

yes he faceplanted into the stering wheel- horrible parenting

Race #2 Arizona Run Walk and Roll. Jan 7th 2012

Running this race with my good friend Allison Brandon :)

30 race before I turn 30 races

So I came up with this crazy goal and running 30 races and getting 30 finisher awards, ribbons and medals. I created my a blog to help hold myself accountable http://30racesbythirty.blogspot.com/.

My first race is tomorrow, its the Phoenix Iron Girl 5k. I have trained a little not much but I feel ready and nervous at the same time. My goal is to complete the race in under 45 minutes or less. I know I can do it because after I gave birth to my sweet girl Evelyn I ran 10k when she was just 3 months old with very minimal training and completed it 10 minutes less than what I did the year prior so this 5k (3.1 miles) shouldnt be a problem. Braden and Easton will be there to cheer me on as I run with my friend Sarah and Melissa. Update to follow.

Family Photos 2011

My friend Marci, who I have known for a long time, at Thevintagelemon.blogspot.com took these amazing pictures for us. We are so in love with them.

Lots of happenings

This past weekend was a few firsts for out little guy.. His first trip out of state to Cali, his first airplane ride)my first time flying alone with a newborn) and his first long car ride home.

The weekend started out on Thursday for Easton and I. We got up really early at 4am to head to the airport and catch out 645am flight to Cali. We got to the airport, Braden got us checked in and we said good by to daddy and headed to our gate. I expected Easton to be fussy the whole plane ride, but Easton did so good, he slept until we boarded out plane, I fed him and just as we were taking off he sucked on his binkie and slept the whole flight, as we were getting ready to land he woke up so I gave him his binkie so he wouldnt hurt his ears and he cried a little bit. The flight attendants all loved him, he was the only baby on the flight of all business people, so luckily he did great and slept the whole trip. The best part for Easton was he got to meet our pilot and see the cockpit and sit in the pilots chair. He got a certificate they dont do the wing anymore but everyone side his certificate. Then Auntie Momo picked us up and we headed to Grandma's work so he could get lots of love and meet everyone and then we meet up with Laura and mom for lunch and Easton got to meet his Great Uncle and Aunt. Thursday was a very long day for Easton but he did so well and pretty much kept to his schedule.

Friday was a fun relaxing day for Easton and I. We got to hang out with Grandma Warner for the most of the day and then Easton got to go with the girls for wedding mani's and pedi's which Uncle Steve came to watch him for us at the salon, he was a little fussy, must be like daddy and didnt want a pedi.

Saturday Easton got so much love, he got to meet so many people and be held all day. He got to meet his Granny Sarai and Grandpa Monte and his two Aunts, syda and omi and his uncle sal. He was a very handsome little man matching all the groomsmen in the wedding. Melanie's wedding was this day too. She was a beautiful bride. She had 80 people in the temple with her and probably about 100 outside waiting to meet the new Mrs. Barlow. WE are so very happy for Melanie and Jacob. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was alot of fun and filled with a wonderful surprise from her in laws of a Flash Mob, the night ended with the infamous Melanie Dance Party and they get to spend their honeymoon at Disneyland, what a fun time.

Sunday Braden and I drove back to Arizona, Easton did so good up till about the last 2 hours of the trip, his poor little tummy was hurting him, he didnt want to be in his carseat any longer and was super tired, once we got home around 8pm and got him out of the carseat he was pretty much a happy baby, he did have a little trouble going to sleep that night, just had to get back into his routine and schedule, which surprisingly the whole trip he really wasnt off his schedule. Being such a scheduled person and planner I was really worried about this but it worked out great. SO grateful for all the wonderful family and friends who played and took care of our little guy. He had so much fun.

(not the best picture sorry)

Halloween this year was a bit of a last minute thought. I had a great family themed costume all planned out but I never got Easton's costume ordered. We were going to be Cardinal football players, Easton was going to be our football and sadie out Ref, but yea i slacked off on that.. so Easton was a Candy Corn ( sweetest, cutest baby ever) and braden was a hockey player and I was a Witch

Easton's Blessing

Our sweet little man was blessed on Sept 4th 2011. His dad gave him such a sweet blessing. we had so many family members there, we were grateful for all that came and had to travel far to make it for this special day. David, Sterling, Bliane, Stratton, Jacob, Danny Allen, Matt Rosen and of course Braden. Braden prepared a yummy brunch back at the house and we got to spend some much needed time with family. It was pretty crazy, fun and loud here at the Hatch house. So grateful to the Allens for taking time to come to Easton's blessing, truly meant alot to us to have them they, as they are family to us. Grandma Loni blessed Braden in this tux, her friend in Washington made it for Braden and I loved it so Easton had to wear it, it just barely fit him, but he looked so handsome, gotta love the ruffles.Thank you to all our family and friends who came to support us. We love you.
