Getting bigger...and cuter!

Easton is like a little sponge these days. He is at such a fun age and we could seriously watch him for hours without getting bored.

We went to the doctor for his 15 month check-up.....although he is actually 16 months. He weighed in at 21.9 pounds (15 %) and is 31 inches tall 45%. He hasn't gained much weight since his 12 month check-up, but he's been a pretty picky eater lately. I'm sure he will make up for it soon.

He is so talkative.....of course it is mostly gibberish still. He will talk to anybody that will listen and he knows exactly what he is saying. Most of the time, he will end his sentence with a 'HUH?' We just pretend like we understand. He is saying a lot of new words though. Here are some of them (some of them may be repeats):

• Cow
• Drink
• Taste (Tase)
• No
• YAAAAA!
• Cut
• Teeth
• Brush
• Tickle
• Apple (Ah-po)
• Ball  (Bah)
• Cracker (acker)
• Bug (Buh)
• Car (Kah)
• Meow! (Mau)
• Moo!
• Ow!!!!
• Hot (ot)
• Off ( Ah)
• On
• Stinky feet
• Eyes ( Eye)
• Ice ( I )
• Binky
• Beasty
• Duck (Guck)
• Baby

Easton hates his car seat, but loves going 'Bye-Bye'. He tells us no if we ask him is he is ready for bed. He really wants to go to nursery, but he isn't old enough. I have been going in with him for the past few weeks though, just because it's either that or pace the halls. He will have no problem staying there by himself and that makes me happy. He likes reading books by himself in his crib. The first thing he does when he wakes up is searches for a drink--most of the time he finds a spray bottle filled with water and that suffices him. He loves stacking toys, pushing buttons, and opening & closing things. We often catch him playing in the toilet (WHO LEFT THE BATHROOM DOOR OPEN!!!) and he thinks the plunger is a fantastic toy. One time he found a cup and dipped it in the toilet....and drank the water. Don't worry, it's been a few weeks and he is ok....I think the water was clean.....well as clean as toilet water can be.

He cut 4 new teeth....both molars basically at the same time. It was rough for a few days there. He takes teething pretty hard. He still doesn't eat very well. Just the past few days he has started getting better. He is ALWAYS pushing his little chair up to the counter so he can reach things. Especially while I am cooking dinner....so he can sample the ingredients. I secretly love it and think it is the cutest thing. Some of his favorite things to eat are: Banana's, Apples, Cookies, Broccoli, Mac & Cheese, & any kind of treats. He doesn't like meat.

 

And of course he doesn't sit still for pictures so this is the best I got!

Easton drinks from a cup like a pro and he uses forks & spoons pretty well. He understands simple commands (sounds like I am talking about a dog) such as 'Throw it away' and 'Get a diaper'. We cut about a half inch off his hair every month!!! He is completely spoiled by all of us and knows that we will do anything for him.
