Hi!

Easton! Right now you are standing at the sliding glass door while bobo and Kendel play in the snow. You keep saying "DADA!" while smacking the glass. Dada is pretty much the only word you say. Sometimes you say "all duh!' for all done. You still refuse to say mommy. The other day you were standing at daddy's legs because you wanted him to hold you. I tried to get you to come to me, but you screamed and leaned away from me as if i was going to hurt you. You are such a stinkpot! Every time you go to daddy, you look at me and give the ornery grin.

The other day, daddy and i were talking about how kendel was born bossy, but you have been conditioned to be bossy because daddy spoils you so much.

Ok buddy, lets start from October since that is the last time i updated. K and T were dressed us in their costumes, so you could not WAIT to get into yours. You were a cute proud lil groundhog. It was adorable! October is also the month you began to crawl. At first, you       w                would stand on your feet and head, then kick a leg up in the air. Then, you began to lead with your right leg, until you eventually began crawling. However, the crawling still consists of stepping forward with your right leg and crawling with the left.

At one point you would say "tae do"= thank you. Buuuut, you have decided that screaming and being spoiled is more fun!

A few things you love are: Helping mommy with dishes--you hand mommy the silverware one at a time. i have to be very careful not to walk away while loading the dishwasher your just go ahead and unload it onto the floor. Combs/brushes- no wonder nana calls you Elvis..not only do you get a curl up front, but you LOVE to comb your hair. You have been obsessed with combs since you were 7 months old. If you see one of us with a brush or comb, you will scream until you get one too!. Then, you just comb away. ;-)

Eating is one of you favorite hobbies. No matter how much you have had to eat, you want what everyone else has.

In november, we got our family pictures done. We thought you would be easy, but boy were you grouchy. So, we did not get as many good pics of you as we had hoped :-).

This year celebrated your birthday at Granma and ThaTha's house. Mommy made you a race car/motorcycle track, because you LOVE cars and ride daddy's leg as if it were a motorcycle. You even got to sit on the ground and make a huge mess. Your favorite toy was one that granma and thatha got for you. It was a little boat that you hammer balls into. I believe this is YOUR first toy that you truly enjoyed.

Right now, you are working towards walking. You can stand for several seconds without any type of support. And, you love the zebra toy that nana got you. You are officially using it to walk now, and its so stinking cute! I can only imagine the kind of trouble you will be causing once you can walk on your own.

The other day, the downstairs gate was left open. As i was walking towards the living room, I heard you breathing heavily from a distance. Sure enough you crawled all the way up the stairs on your own!

I just wanted to do this blog to get you all caught up buddy. I used to have time to update on a weekly basis , but it is so rare any more. Love you all! more to come for t and k!
