Check up time!

Where has the time gone?

I took Easton in for his check up this week.  He is a whopping 28lbs, and very close to 3 feet tall.  He is actually in the 70th % for his weight and the 85th% for height (maybe the Willis' will have one kid blessed with the height gene :).

 My baby is growing so fast!  He's not even a baby anymore....more like a toddler.  He is 19mo going on 5 at least!  He thinks he can do anything his older siblings can do and if you don't let him, boy does he let you know about it!  He had his first time out recently.  He was mad at Kaden (I can't remember why) so he picked up a car and threw it at him.  The kid is a fighter...but hey with 3 older than him I guess he has to be right?

Milestones:  Easton is walking, running and jumping (he now gets air).  He loves, loves, loves cars and his bike.  His favorite place to be is outside.  He loves the swing and trampoline but his favorite thing to do is ride his bike down the driveway (and the road if you let him).  His favorite things are his jackets and his shoes.  First thing in the morning he insists on putting shoes and a jacket on.  If you try to remove them he gets quite angry.  He is getting much better at feeding himself (still a little messy, but not as much).  He won't sit in his high chair anymore, he has to sit on the barstools with his sister and brothers.  He likes to hum and sing songs, his favorite song to sing is Jingle Bells (the part you understand is when he yells hey at the end :)  Easton is doing awesome in nursery...he loves it and the teachers say he is good (I hope they're just not sayin that to be nice and he really is good.) Words he says are:  outside, bye, hi, baba (bottle), mama, dada, owe, poo poo, yucky, eye, and a few more.  If you are lucky he will tell you what the cow, horse, and dog say (We practice what the other animals say but he only likes these animals I guess).  He knows where his eyes, hair, ears, nose, mouth and belly are....though if he isn't in the mood, he will not tell you....even if you cry (I've tried). 

Its so sad to think that my baby is growing up, but I guess with it is a whole new freedom that the Willis family has not yet experienced.  What will it be like without diapers, wipes, and whole milk?  What a crazy thought!
