Am I a slacker???

WOW - it's been WEEKS since my last post, how unlike me! I feel like quite the blogging slacker, or am I? The past several weeks have been extremely busy .....
We spent two weeks at my Mom & Dad's house in Virginia and those weeks were packed with people wanting to meet Easton, birthday parties, eating out and finalizing our move details. We drove down to the Topsail area twice while staying with my parents; once for our home inspection & once for closing. We made the drive a third time on March 1st so we could be at our new house for our furniture delivery. My Dad joined us so he could help us with the move - which was a HUGE help!
After several days of unpacking boxes, we headed back to Virginia to see family & friends again for a few days. On Monday of this week we went to High Point, NC to purchase some new furniture for the master bedroom & breakfast nook in our home. We got back late Monday night & have still be working on settling in. All of this, plus we have been caring for a newborn!!! I don't feel too bad for falling behind on my blogging duties after reading all of this :-)
In more exciting news, Easton has grown and developed SO much over the past month or so. He seems to change each day - some important milestones are he is gaining a lot of head strength and can pull his head up quite well during "tummy time", he is smiling a lot now & we recently moved him up to size 3 to 6 month clothing. Did I mention he's only 7 weeks old??? Easton is a wonderful traveler and seems to love rides in the car to his Gammy & Pappy's house. He's a really laid-back and content baby - we are quite lucky! Easton is growing into a big, strong boy and we all love him so much!!!
Here are a few photos from the past several weeks - now that we are *almost* settled into our new home and have internet access I'll be much better about posting updates, I promise :-)

Moving day (Feb 12th) ... what a CUTE expression on his face!
Easton's 1st time in a hotel (Feb 13th) - seems he can sleep anywhere (which is a good thing)!

You are definitely NOT a slacker...you've done an amazing job with handling all you've had on your plate the last month or so...not many people could handle having a baby, buying a house via the internet and then moving without having a nervous breakdown! that look on his face during moving day is priceless!!!!
