Easton is 11 Months! (yesterday)

So BIG! Walking more and more each day! Has 5 1/2 teeth and drooling like crazy.

He also loves to help swift the floor and play with the spray bottle. Mr. Clean :)

And I think he has officially moved up a diaper size, but I'm trying my best to finish this box of 3's. Poor kid, they look like a speedo on him!

Turks & Caicos

Well we just got back from an "adult only" vacation to the Turks & Caicos and it quickly landed at the top of our tropical destination list. Gorgeous!! We tried to imitate the Carona commercial because that's exactly what the beach looked like. We also tried parasailing and although the views were amazing, it was extremly high and a little nerve-wracking!! That's us, those two little specks under the orange parachute. Seriously high.

Overall we highly recommend the Turks! Beautiful!

Memorial Weekend

I am a little behind, but we spent a relaxing (and cool) weekend in Ruidoso with Nannie, Poppy, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lu, Uncle Brett & Cousin Aiden. We had lots of outdoors time and Easton most especially liked playing with his cousin, bathing in the sink, and the horses! Oh, and climbed the stairs for the first time. What a milestone! And I had to include the picture where it appears Aiden is slapping Easton. He took it like a champ ;) And we enjoyed the races!

Gardening and the Old West

Here are photos from this weekend. Lots of yardwork and lots of posing Easton in his cowboy onesie from Grandma and riding his "horse" from cousin Teague. Is there anything more cute than a plaid cowboy onesie with pearl snaps?? Easton loved helping us in the yard and helping dispose of messy dirt by eating it . . . Caught, red (or brown) handed!

He has been crawling all over the house, so I'm sure by now he's eaten many things he probably shouldn't, like Mila's dog food. He loves dumping out her food and water bowl, which is so fun to clean up! Here they are in a photo; Mila is guarding her food with

her life! Easton thinks it's a great game!

Weekend with Nan, Poppy, and Crawfish

Well Easton certainly wanted to try a crawfish. I think I got some good photos of him. Note the red swelling on his forehead . . . I was trying to get a close up and he lunged for the camera and we collided. He didn't cry though . . . whew! We had a very fun weekend with the grandparents!

Easter Weekend with Grandparents

Here are some pics . . . we had a wonderful time with Grandma Jules & Grandpa JR. It was gorgeous weather and we even dined on the patio :) Easton thought his grandparents were SO funny!

Teeth!

Well, this explains quite a few fussy, sleepless nights. Pittmans can attest to this on Saturday night, when E woke up every hour crying. It was lots of fun, and thanks for bearing with us!

Easton now has his two bottom teeth. I felt like a dentist pulling his lip back to reveal the teeth, but I really wanted to document it with photos . . . extreme close-up! I'm sure he was thinking, "Mom, get your finger OUT of my mouth please!" (he says please b/c of course he has manners at 7 months; a southern gentleman already!)
