Easton at 11 months

I have been having fun with photoshop (as you can see). I took Easton outside between rainstorms and took some pictures so I could play around with photoshop. We've had it for quite a while so I decided it was about time I used it. There was no better reason than to document Easton at 11 months.

Easton is quite a mover. He still would rather be carried around by me than anything, but when he is down he is all over the place. He crawls super fast and stands up to everything and walks along the furniture, but he probably won't start walking by himself for quite a while. We can't get him to stand up on his own. We tricked him a couple of times by putting something in his hands so he wouldn't hold on. He stood for a few seconds then realized what he was doing and slowly lowered himself down. He is such a funny, cute boy. He makes these faces and squints his eyes when he doesn't like something. If he wants our attention and wants us to clap he will ball up his fists and show us his muscles. Then when we clap, he claps and smiles. The girls call him the destroyer because he can't go near anything without finding a way to destroy it. My nickname for him is Easty Beasty, because he is naughty and does things cause he knows I'll get mad at him and then he laughs. He is starting to play with his toys a lot more on his own. He likes to throw balls and drive around cars and make car noises. We love his silly personality and the way he is such a boy.

What an adorable little boy! He looks like a lot of fun! I love what you've done with your pics! In the last one, how did you do part color part black and white? I've done it in Photo Shop before and now I can't remember... Will you email me?

Ha ha! I love his nickname! That is perfect! He is so stinkin cute. It looks like he is getting easier for you. Nixon was really hard too, and still is, so I hope that Easton will get easier, unless he follows Nixon's path. I miss you guys. Wish I could come for Christmas, but unfortunately Noell planned a big Christmas here. Love your pictures! Oh ya and I saw the pictures your friend did for you on Facebook. Too cute and I am jealous! I haven't had our pictures done yet!
