Easton weighed 20 lbs 8 oz (53rd percentile) and was 29.5 inches long (86th percentile). His head measured 47.3 centimeters, which is in the 95th percentile! Dr. Blackstone was happy with Easton's progress and gave him a certificate that highlighted these milestones.
Speaking of progress ..... Easton has developed and grown SO much! He is quite the social butterfly and "talks" constantly. He has said "Mama", "Dadda" and "Bye-Bye". He can clap his hands, wave bye-bye and he scoots, pulls up and moves around the room like a champ! Recently his uncles taught him how to give a "high-five"!! He looks so proud of himself when he performs his "tricks" --- his smile truly lights up the room. He has the cutest expressions as you can see in many of the pictures - he's so full of personality. He eats a ton! He is still breastfeeding and also enjoys jarred foods, Cheerios, Gerber Puffs, bananas, sweet potatoes and his favorite, yogurt! He loves having apple juice in his sippy cup and can pinch most any food given to him & feed himself.
I must admit, Easton has a bit of a temper .... we've learned to not keep him waiting for food - he gets quite angry if he's hungry and waiting. And he definitely has a "devilish" side - when we tell him "no" he'll sometimes give us a little smirk and keep doing whatever it was (usually messing with the entertainment center). We've noticed recently that he does respond to "no" better - or at least he reacts when hearing the word :-)
Easton has several toys that he enjoys playing with - he loves his jumperoo and can stay occupied for 30 minutes just jumping, laughing and squealing. He also has several toys that "make music" .... he really likes the activity table that Martha let us borrow, as well as the "Spin, spin a Letter" toy. Speaking of playing - Easton has tons of friends! He spends a lot of time with his neighborhood friends, Sophie and Canaan. We also get together weekly for playgroup with our former Mom&Baby yoga group.
Easton has cut back on his paci use and only uses it when he's sleeping or confined (such as in a carseat). He has several teeth - 3 on top and 4 on the bottom. My friend Natalie calls them his "Chicklet teeth" because they are tiny and very white. We are so proud of him .... everywhere we go people comment on his good behavior and his gorgeous blue eyes. He is quite the hit with the ladies, both young and old :-) We are truly blessed to have such a sweet and handsome little man in our lives. Here are a few recent pics of Easton where he was "helping" me with laundry. :-)
