"I Hunt For Hugs"

We went for a family hike yesterday at Raccoon. I think Jason is secretly trying to get himself in shape for Elk hunting by toting Easton up and down hills on his back. In any event, we hiked at least 4 miles yesterday. About 3 in the woods and 2 on the road. It was a very good work-out and great quality family time. Easton wasn't quite as excited to be riding in the backpack as he was last year, but he did well. I think he's going to be a mountain man, just like his Daddy.


Check out Easton's hat. It says "I Hunt For Hugs." Easton loves to wear his hats and we never have to fight him to put or keep them on. He looks like such a little boy in his hat!

Say Cheese!

The other day I was giving Easton cheese for lunch and he kept putting his hands up to his cheeks every time I said cheese. This morning I said, "Say Cheese." He smiled, but is also attempting to grab his cheeks. How sweet!


I got this bathing suit for Easton and put it on him to make sure it fit. He looks like a little jet skier.

New Lens

I got a new wide-angle lens and decided to try it out on Easton. The lens will be good for shoots where objects aren't moving so fast (so please excuse the blurriness). And you will also have to excuse the snots. Easton and I are both getting over a cold. He is an excellent nose blower, but still leaves a little behind. I take what I can get!

Dad's Boots

The most adorable thing I have seen in a long time.


A video for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to note the intermittent whining. Whining has become a regular part of our life. I can't wait until Easton can talk instead of whine.

Yogurt and Tub

So I thought it was about time that Easton try to feed himself his yogurt. He actually did very well. It was just adorable to see him with such a messy face since he is normally so clean when he eats.



No bath is complete without a mohawk! Easton LOVES getting a bath. All you have to do is whisper "bath time" and he goes running back to the bathroom and proceeds to bang and cry until he gets let in.

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!
