"Look! One-handed, Momma"
Our little red-headed, thumb sucker
Each evening after dinner, Easton crawls to the kitchen doors, looks out into the back yard and screams "DaDaDa!" even if "DaDa!" is in the kitchen with him. We don't really understand but laugh with Easton and love every minute...finger prints and all.
At 10 months old our little red head is a busy busy little boy. I'm not sure how much Easton weighs (we won't have another formal weigh-in until his 1 year check-up) but this little boy is growing fast. Easton is currently wearing size 12 month pants (for the length) and 9 to 12 month shirts. His feet (and hands for that matter) are HUGE as he currently wears a size 3 shoe. Easton no longer is satisfied just sitting and playing by himself, but this boy wants to move. His favorite past time is walking back and forth among the couches in the living room while also circulating the coffee table (and No, we haven't moved our chess set from the middle of the coffee table...there is just a lot of "No Sir" being said each day). Easton also knows his way around his home (as he can travel rather quickly) and is often reminded to "stay in here" with his momma and daddy instead of retreating to the spare bedroom or the bathroom where he knows he takes his bath. Easton isn't walking by himself as of yet but will stand alone until he realizes he isn't holding onto anything and suddenly sits down or grabs hold of the nearest table or couch. Going up stairs has become and easy feat while going down the stairs is still something to be conquered.
When it comes to eating, Easton has graduated from purees and "first tastes" to now pretty much eating anything that we do...his dinner tonight, for example, consisted of salmon, rice, carrots and apple sauce (these are no longer pureed foods). His lunch usually consists of pasta with veggies intermixed (spinach, squash and zucchini, as well as a touch of parmesan cheese) while his favorite fruits to date are strawberries, grapes, and cantaloupe. For breakfast we've introduced grits with raspberries in addition to his typical morning of oatmeal with blueberries and toast. Easton also likes muffins and banana-nut flavored cheerios (introduced by Nanna Bobbin and A-daddy).
Justin and I are just amazed at how quickly Easton is growing and changing each day. We can't get enough of our little man and look forward to more fun memories to come for the Chester Clan.
