8 months ...I can't believe it!

The past 8 months have literally flown by! I can't believe my litte E is already 8 months old. He is getting so big. He is definitely not a little baby anymore. He is on the go and learning something new everyday. I have to say, even though I loved the little baby stage, I am having so much fun with him right now. He is crawling great now. He loves to be free and when you plop him on the ground you can see the excitement in his eyes as he looks around for things to explore.

He is also pulling up to a standing position and even reaches up and hangs from things. He has no fear which keeps me on my toes! I can't take my eyes off of him for a second. He is all boy and a little bump or face plant while crawling doesn't even phase him. He doesn't have time to be hurt. Ha! ALL BOY!

He is also loving trying all the new foods. He is becoming a good eater. He has had green beans, peas, asparagus, butternut squash, carrots, bananas, watermelon and cantelope. He loves his puffs too. He likes to pick them up and let them melt in his hands.

He has also gone to 2 gymboree classes with his friend Campbell. The funniest thing was having the teacher tell me she has never seen a kid like him...and ask me, "does he ever sit still?". Easton also loved the bubbles and parachute. Everytime we would lower the parachute, you could see Easton's head moving around underneath. All the other babies would stay laying down on their back watching it. Not Easton, he had to crawl around underneath. He makes me laugh!

So far he still lets anyone hold him. I am still waiting for the stanger anxiety phase to kick in. He loves all people and doesn't meet a stranger. We go see my grandmother at the nursing home and he gets so much attention from all the residents. He truly makes their day. It is so neat to see them all oooh and aahh over them.

I will post some updated photos soon.

Crazy Busy!

Things have been BUSY around here! I have a lot to catch up on so look for lots of updates coming soon. Here are some pictures in the mean time....

We don't like Green Beans!

So now that Easton is 6 months we are starting on solids. We gave him green beans today for the first time. Lets just say he wasn't a big fan. It definitely gave us our laughs though. Here is his first taste of real food.

Warning!!! This video is not for those with weak stomachs.

Playdate with Campbell and other Pics

Here are a few pictures of Easton with his good friend Campbell. They were born one day apart. They are getting to the point where they really enjoy each other. They laugh at each other and reach and grab each others noses, ears, eyes, etc. They are so cute together!

Here is a picture from the first time they met. They were about 6 weeks old. Haven't they changed!

And here are just a few pictures of Easton. He is getting so big I can't believe he is already 6 months old! He is getting to such a fun stage.

Haley and Easton - Mr. Sensitivity

This video is from the beginning of March...I meant to post it much earlier but that was about the time our old computer crashed. Anyway, this video cracks me up. Easton can be in the best mood but if he hears another baby cry, he gets really upset. I think he is extra sensitive and doesn't like anyone to be upset.

Easton Vs. High Chair

Easton thinks it is so funny when I try to put the tray on the highchair. He likes to make it difficult. He is such a mess!

Easton's first Easter

I know this post is a little late. I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog.

Easton's first Easter started out on Saturday night. We decided to go to church for the Saturday night service so that we would all have time on Sunday to cook for our Easter meal over at my parent's house. The Easter service was the first time I took Easton to the nursery. He did great. So far he hasn't had any problem going to strangers. I know it is still early for separation anxiety to hit, but at this point he loves everyone. When we picked him up he was playing in an excersaucer looking up at one of the ladies helping and was just smiling. I guess he had a good time.

Here are a few pictures of Saturday night:

Chris opted out of pictures...his allergies were killing him and he just wasn't in a picture taking mood since he couldn't stop sneezing.

Sunday we got up and went to my parents for our big annual egg hunt and lunch. It is one of my favorite family traditions. I know we probably look ridiculous, but we have so much fun! Of course we do this inside so we don't embarrass ourselves. This year was neat because we had my parent's new house to search in...which meant new places to hide. Yes, I am such a kid! Easton was a trooper and let us have one more adult Easter as I know next year we will be way more into watching him hunt for eggs. He napped during our hunt and was such a great boy and in such a good mood that day. Here are some pictures of the day.

Easton was checking out the pool. I can't wait to take him swimming this summer.

My brother, Nathan loves old cars. Here are some pictures in Nathan's Chevy Impala.

Don't ask me why...we just thought it was funny. I know it is random that my brother had a little sombrero in his car.

Easton got a lot of fun gifts for Easter. We gave him some books and toys. He also got 2 new outfits from Janie and Jack from my mom. And A. Amanda and U. Nathan got him a cute little bunny and a shirt. He also got a fun toy from his Great A. Melody and U. Bill. along with a little sleeper with a bunny tail on the little behind. His other grandparents J and Nae gave him some money.

Below are some pictures of him opening up his gift from Pip and Cha Cha.

It was a great Easter and it was extra special this year having Easton here to celebrate. I love that little boy so much!
