Kisses, Teeth, and More

My sweet kiddos love giving out hugs and kisses. Blake thinks it's hysterical that Easton gives big, open mouth slobbers!

Little man is working on some major teeth. Two molars are through on the top (one of each side) and he has two gigantic bumps where the bottom two molars are working their way up. That's 10 teeth so far, soon to be 12!

Also, Easton finally signed this morning!!! Anytime we've tried to teach him before, he would just laugh at us, but this morning he signed "more" for his breakfast of pancakes! Yay! Blake was so proud of him saying "I taught him to sign, Momma!"

Favorites of Easton

Being outside: he will grunt and point out windows and doors begging to go outside, he starts screaming out when I take him inside

Golf club: he will walk all over the yard with this little golf club, swinging it, holding it, and again will scream if I try to put it up (I have to pry it loose) and he constantly tries to take Tim's clubs from his golf bag if he's around it

13+ Months

So I didn't write a post on Easton's 13 month bday, but I wanted to remember a few things.
-Easton is very sensitive and will immediately stick his bottom lip out and cry when corrected, usually at the first "no".
-he has a loud way of communicating. Easton will scream out "aaaaahhhh" if he needs help getting a toy out, or turning one on, or if he has something that Blake is trying to get too. We joke about Easton screaming like that to scare off his future opponents, when he grows up to play sports or whatever activity.
-He is a big snuggler and will wrap his arms around your neck really tight, and lay his head on your shoulder. He also loves my hair and will reach around my head to play with it when I hold him.
-Easton wakes up really hungry.
-points at things, opens his eyes really big and talks all the time. He is starting to babble about everything.
-loves to clap his hands and smiles so big like he's proud of himself
-is really bow-legged
-dances really cute by bouncing his knees (and heiney) up and down

There's a New Sheriff in Town

Oh my goodness... I almost overdosed on cuteness tonight when I put Easton in his Wo.ody from Toy Story jammies. He looked so adorable! and I was trying so hard to get a picture, but this little boy is so busy that a picture was hard to come by.
Overall, I have to say that little boy clothes aren't as cute as little girls' (or anywhere near as numerous... way more girl clothing out there!) but outfits like tonight totally make up for it! Eat your heart out!!!

Water Fun

Thanks Grammy and Grandpa! The kids are having fun with Easton's water table!!

Boo

What baby wouldn't be happy playing in/with a box?!? (Easton was happily distracted with a giant present box at Blake's birthday)
