Petting Reeses

Ok, this one is an old one, but I just remembered that I recorded it and it had to make it on the blog. This one is two fold: First, Easton is petting the cat and I think it's so cute. Second, we're watching a dog (Jet) because my friend just had a baby and he's trying to play with the cats. Jet should and probably does know by now that they don't want to play with them. Anyway, it's funny.
Also, since I have a blog post going, Scott is expected back around Dec 6th or 7th. All I can say is "YYYYAAAAAIIIIIIIIYYYYYY!!" and "It's about time he come help me take care of this baby of his." FYI: The last one is supposed to be a joke.

The Hat

Easton has a hat that my mom and I bought for him when we needed something to shield his eyes from the sun. It's a cute hat and you can turn it into so many different types of hats. It actually turns him into different characters. Take a look and let me know if you see what I see.

He's sitting up!

I've been practicing for a few days and today he did it all by himself. I'm amazed! Check it out-

Easton's Dog

When I was pregnant, the thought of my child calling Nala "his dog" was a strange thought. We had her for 2 1/2 years before he came along, so if anything, she was the family dog. However, Easton has claimed her for himself and I don't seem to mind. I think it's actually very cute and I can see them getting close in the future. Until then, Nala is his endless entertainment. When I can't calm him down, more often than not she can. For that, I'm glad that we have her!

The Renaissance Baby

It's been a while since I've written, but I've been pretty busy this month. At the beginning of the month, my mom came to visit. We went to Louisiana and visited her father. While there, she showed me her old stomping grounds, which included the fruit orchard. We picked satsumas, lemons and pecans, all of which taste amazing!

Two day after my mom left, Scott's mom, Barb, came to visit for two weeks. We had a great time and she helped me out a lot. All in all, Easton had a chance to bond with his grandmother and I had a chance to enjoy some time for myself. Both of which are priceless!

Right now, I'm in San Antonio, TX visiting Scott. I leave here on Sunday and I'm already not looking forward to getting back. It was OK getting out here, but I think I was lucky because I had an empty seat next to me on the 2 1/2 hour flight to Texas. I can't guarantee the same on the way back. Until then, we're enjoying our time together and seeing as many sights as we can during this short visit. We've already gone to Sea World, The Alamo, and 'Ripley's Believe it or Not!'. I'm coming back for Thanksgiving, so we don't have to rush and right now we just want to take our time and enjoy each other.

Now...to the reason I named this blog "The Renaissance Baby." Easton is becoming a man of many trades and it seems like there's no slowing down. Here are a few occupations he's been dabbling with lately. More are soon to follow!

Easton's jumping now!

Check out Easton in the jumperoo. He's actually jumping...you'll have to see it to believe it.

The house and some more Easton stuff

Ok, so finally, here's a picture of our new house. It's a HUGE step up from our last one...we just love it! I have more pictures up on my facebook album. You can check them out here:

As for Easton, he's been such a doll lately. From the moment he's up to the moment he goes to sleep, he's constant smiles. Sometimes he just looks at me in anticipation that I'm going to do something funny and when I do, he starts to giggle a little bit. Today I went into the garage to do some cleaning so I put him in the jumperoo and he just loved it. I must have been working for close to half an hour and he was fine the whole time. I couldn't believe it! He just kept himself busy. I couldn't have asked for a better baby! : )
Below is a video of Easton trying to stay awake while playing in his bouncer. I think it's really cute!
