My Little Toddler

Well, at 15 months old, this dude is a sponge. Each day he is surprising me with the new actions, gestures, noises, word attempts, and some of the more "grown up" things he is doing.



Here's the rundown of the good stuff:

Night-weaned-Finally!! About 5 weeks ago. Sleep had been a major issue in our household...frequent night wakings, long night wakings, difficulty going to sleep, not being able to go to sleep or settle himself, etc. We tried a few different methods and went with what worked for us...and yes, it did work, obviously. Most nights we get a full nights sleep and Andy & I are able to have some down time-just the two of us. It's nice.



Augie Stats:
Height-8th percentile
Weight-20lbs 12 oz-6th percentile
Head circumference -still large-60th percentile

Augie's Dr. is happy with his growth, as it has been consistent and steady. He's still just a small guy. Nothing wrong with that.



Likes
  • Fave foods: tomatoes, avocado, cucumbers, fruit/veggie/grain pouches, applesauce, yogurt, potatoes, Applegate Farms breakfast sausage (seriously), and a new found enjoyment for green olives
  • Fave toys: dinosaur, animal toys, cars,balls, Doug, anything that's not a toy-specifically Dad's old cell phone
  • Eating with a fork!
  • Pacifier:YES-3 at bedtime

  • Books: Too many to name!! Loves 'em.
  • Making animal noises: roar (dino, hippo, and several other animals) meow, wuff, neigh, ooh ooh (monkey), elephant noises (with trunk movements), owl (ask him what an owl says-"owwwwwl")
  • Running and trying to jump
  • Stretching and doing yoga 
  • Drawing, painting and stickers!
  • Throwing balls
  • Tubbies and bedtime routine
  • Being outside and playing




Dislikes

  • Foods: depends on the day
  • Diaper changes-it's a battle sometimes
  • Coming in from outside
  • Lengthy car rides



Augie is starting to "talk" more. He tries to repeat a lot of words that we say and he constantly wants to know "What's that?" He's done this for months and it's starting to pay off. He's very intelligent...I might be biased~slightly. Love him.

Augie's Birth Story

So it's taken me a while to sit down and write about this. We've been adjusting to lots of new daily adventures. And every minute of it has been a blast. I can say I have no complaints! Life as new parents is great and I can only see it getting better. We're adjusting to our different sleep schedule which is really helping our mental health...haha. Andy heads  back to work on Monday next week and I can say I really will miss all of the help that he has provided Augie and I over the past three weeks. He's an amazing husband and father. So here it goes- Sunday, the 15th, we slept in, ate left over pizza for lunch, celebrated birthdays at Andy's Grandma Jeanette's...I ate something like three different kinds of cake and ice cream (and I think I went back for a second round of sweets), hung out at my parents for a bit, then came home and ate macaroni and cheese, from a box. Not our usual day of fairly healthy eating, but that's what we had. After dinner ...

Our New Arrival: Meet August Andrew Eikstadt

Well it's been over a week since you've seen a post from me and most of you know that it's because we've been busy, busy, busy with our new arrival!!!! August Andrew Eikstadt was born on Monday January 16, 2012 at 12:57pm. Some of you have already heard me say this but here it is again: he was 7lbs 12oz and 20 inches of perfect. And seriously, I'm not lying. He's perfect. It's amazing to think that this little dude made his home inside of me for almost 10 months. He was born when I was 39 weeks 3days...just shy of his due date of 1/20/12. Yesterday he was a week old. it made me tear up a little to think how much he has already grown and changed since his birth day. We brought him home just last Wednesday, after a big snow storm moved through on Tuesday. Augie did great on the car ride home and has already had his first outing to the Dr., in which he was a champ for the appt (which just so happened to be another day with...
