Easton's First Birthday!

Look at this handsome boy! I can not believe he is one. He is so funny. He loves chickens and follows them around. He even got attacked by a rooster and still goes after them without fear. He loves our new kitties, and grabs at them any chance he can get. He loves to be outside and will say Bye-bye anytime he wants to go out. It's too bad it is getting so cold because he gets so sad when I won't let him outside. He is walking and has been for about a month. It seems like after I wrote my post about him at 11 months saying he wouldn't walk, he decided to prove me wrong and started standing and walking from couch to couch. A week later he started walking all over the place. He is really good at it now, but still wants to be held by me all the time. He weighs 22 lbs. and is 29 1/2 inches tall. So he is just a little guy, 38th percentile for weight and 39th percentile for height. At least he has grown some. We were so worried he hadn't grown at all. He is still not an easy baby but I wouldn't trade him for anything. He loves to give me hugs and kisses and sometimes gives kisses to others. He is a momma's boy all the way.

We had a fun birthday party for him. We had family come and we had snacks and cake and ice cream. He got a lot of really cute gifts. He had all of the old hand me down toys from the girls, so it was nice for him to get some toys of his own.

I was going to make him a cake but at the last minute decided to buy one instead. He does not like sweets very much so I was worried he wouldn't dig into his cake.

I love this face that he made after the first taste of cake. I had to scrape all of the icing off and try to feed him a few bites of cake.

He really liked to smear the cake around and would occasionally take a little bite. The kids came over and ate most of his cake for him.

He was a mess at the end but was excited to get in the bath and play with his new basketball hoop bath toy. He had a good day and was pretty tired by the end of it.
