Our little chatter box

Well we have a talker on our hands. Although he only is saying a few words he is saying them ALL THE TIME! He loves saying "hi" and "uh oh" the most. He will say "kitty" and "doggie" but not very often. If you ask him where the doggie is he points at Yukon. Its so fun to see all these new milestones Easton is hitting right now. He definitely is a little parrot in that he repeats what we say or the sounds we make so we are going to have to truly start watching our language soon :)

I picked him up from daycare on Thursday and all the little boys had to run to Easton and show me how they taught him to wave "bye bye"...Sometimes he gets confused and waves at himself instead of the person saying "bye bye" to him, but its still super cute to get him to do it.

He is still eating great and trying anything we put infront of him. He is FINALLY using his sippy cup (praise the Lord!!!) so we are doing juice now as well (very watered down juice). He likes white grape juice the best so far! I can tell when he is done eating or when he isnt hungry by how much he feeds Yukon. Sometimes he just teases the poor dog and keeps the food in his hands and only pretends to give it to him (like in the video below), but other times he just throws his food over the side of the tray. He is definitely starting to test his limits with us. He loves playing fetch with his parents LOL He'll throw something over the side of the shopping cart for us to get, and the second we give it back to him he throws it right back down....he does the same thing if we are at a restaurant. We have started telling him "no" in a more stern manner and if he continues we just take away whatever it was he was throwing. Yesterday he was eating baby raviolis filled with chicken and carrots. He was done after eating just a few of them so he started just throwing them on the floor and then leaning over to watch Yukon gobble them up. I would grab his hand mid-throw and tell him "NO"...he would just smile at me, shake his head "no" and then do it again. So basically this whole discipline thing is a work in progress. LOL! Its hard to get upset when you look at his sweet little face. I know that what seems to be defiance is just his natural curiosity to see how the world works :)

I still cant wrap my head around the fact that in another month I will be blogging about having a 1 year old!!! It just went SO FAST....its almost unfair. Everyone warns you, but until you are looking back and seeing how much he has changed and grown these past 11 months you cant beleive it! I never imagined being a mom would be so incredible and fulfilling. I am grateful everyday to be Easton's mom and know that my heart is the biggest it could possibly be....full of pure love for my little man!
