Winter

I just thought that Easton was cute as could be this morning looking out the window in his overalls. He got a kick out of looking at himself in my camera after I took the picture. He amazes me everyday. He is learning so fast and can do new "tricks" all the time. Enjoy the morning winter pictures!

1st Haircut

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's been a long while since I have updated the blog. The usual excuses are in order. Life happens!

Easton has been doing very well. He's a great little walker now and sometimes gets up to a little run. He's finally taking better naps, which makes for very happy parents. Not to mention, he sleeps through the night! That was a big accomplishment for us. He's eating normal table food and we are happy to report that he can take cow's milk now without getting sick. He's desperately trying to say new words. He knows the meaning of a ton of words, it's just saying them that he still has to catch on to.

I wanted to post these pictures of his first haircut. His hair wasn't globally getting long, it was just a few strands that would come down into his eyes. He did very well as Jason held him. I made it quick, but I think it turned out pretty well. He looks like such a little boy!

Reading Books

Lately, Easton has been really into opening up books, pretending to read and point to the pictures. It is adorable! I tried to upload a video, but it didn't work. So, follow click on the picture below and use the password to see some camera videos from the last couple of months. You will need the password "Easton Videos". Click the arrow at the top or click close and click on a the next video. The last video is the one of Easton looking at his book. So precious!

First Steps!

My deepest apologies for being negligent on updating the blog. For some unknown reason, I have decided to sell Tupperware on top of an already busy schedule. Then a couple of brides from last year just made their picture selections for albums. All at the same time!

Now, for what you probably really want to know about...Easton. He is such a good little boy. Naps are still a bit shotty, but I can't complain. He goes to be around 7:30 at night and wakes up at 4/5am for a bottle and then sleeps until 7am. Compared to the first few months, this is a cake walk. He plays all day. He is really into his toys and is so interactive now. He loves to point and explore.

He has a couple of bottom teeth. And you would think by the amount of drool that his top teeth would be here by now. They are taking their sweet time.

A packaging tube recently came in the mail with a delivery. He thinks it is the best thing ever. The view from my end of the tube is precious.

And for the big news, Easton took a few steps yesterday. I was actually sitting on the floor taking the above pictures and Jason came home. Jason sat on the floor. Easton had himself standing, holding onto my knee, and then he just let go and walked to Jason. I just happened to catch it with the camera.
(Not the best picture technically, but you can see Jason's delight.)

Welcome Baby Elizabeth Rose

As usual, it has been a bit crazy around here. The most exciting news is the birth of Easton's new cousin, Elizabeth Rose "Izzy". She was born on July 28th, weighed 8lbs 4oz and 20.5in. She seems so much smaller than Easton was. She is a little smaller than Easton, but I think I have forgotten how small newborns are.

Yesterday, the crew came over and I took some pictures of the new addition. Big sister Autumn is so proud! The other day she came up to me and said, "This is my little sister. Isn't she cute?" It was very sweet.




Easton thought that Izzy was very cute as well. He stared at her for quite some time.


He is becoming such a big boy. The other day when I was filling his tub, I went into his room and got his washcloth while he was in the bathroom. I came back in to find him standing at the tub, watching the water. He must have pulled himself up while I left the room. He crawls around, slowly but surely. It's become a game to see how fast I can babyproof the house. He also has been saying "da-da". It doesn't mean much yet, being that he'll say it at random times and now when he sees his dad. Everyday there is something new that he is doing. He's such a sweetheart.

7 Months Old

As you can probably tell, we have been pretty busy around here. Jason has been hard at work on his basement steamroom bathroom. Next we have to deal with the basement floor. It will be so nice to have the house put back together soon!

I have been busy taking care of Easton and trying to fit in my photography stuff when I can.

Tonight we are going out to dinner as a pre-Katie having a baby celebration. She is about to go into labor at any second now! The Doctor (who was mine) actually gave Katie her home phone number just in case she went into labor overnight, and she wasn't on-call. I knew I liked that lady! (Jess, get ready for her! Hopefully you will be working, and thanks for coming out the other night. It was great to see you again!)

As you can see, Easton is doing very well and starting to crawl. He had been sick a couple days ago with a fever, lethargy and a decrease in appetite. I think he is doing much better this morning. He was even able to crawl over to Sadie and pull her beard. Sadie was a little surprised that this little being is able to move (and pull).

6 Months...and then some.

This past month has been a busy whirlwind. It started off with the flooding of our basement. We tried to save the carpet, but long story short, we had to rip it up. Now we have to decide what we are going to do to the floor. Carpet is out of the question. If it floods again, easy clean-up is key.

Easton, Ashley and I went to visit Easton's great-grandparents in Florida. It was nice to get out of the house and give Jason some time to himself to get the basement taken care of. I am sure Easton misses his Great-grandma and Great-grandpa.

I take pictures of everyone elses baby but mine, so yesterday we did a little miny shoot out back. Our boy remains a big baby. He is 95% in height and 85% in weight. He can sit up unsupported like a champ. It's so cute to watch him play with all of his toys. He also is spending a lot of time on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth. I suspect he will be crawling within a month. Then the fun (work-out) will really begin.
