7 Months and Sassy Britches!

The title is Easton to a tee these days! Every day her more and more of her personality shows through and in this last month our little lady is become quite sassy. Seriously sometimes I think she acts too big for her britches! I love the determination, drive and ambition that is developing also. She is a truly a combination of Josh and I. With her fearlessness, stubbornness and cowlicks coming from her Daddy and her "my way or the highway" attitude, ambition and always gotta be busy traits coming from her Momma. This past month she as developed more and more into such a sweet little girl. She is a giggle box and is so stinking ticklish. Her laughter melts our hearts and her smiles make our day!

Nicknames: Easton Beaston- Nana, though sometimes she changes it up to peaston.
Ms. Easton- Josh and I both use this one
Dolly - Aunt Vern- aka Lexie Manning
Nosie Rosie- Me... she is so curious about everything.
Easton Blondell- I have been calling her this her lately. Phase? Maybe...

Holla!!!! We are finally in size 2 diapers! Seriously I thought we be potty training and she would still be rocking size 1.

Baby clothes suck! Easton is a little bit tricky these days. Some brands she can wear 6 months, but some she needs 6-9 months. Here is the kicker... some brands go from 3-6 to 6-12 months. Really! That is a six month gap. How about 6-9 months people. So the point is she is all over the place with clothes. Mostly we have been putting her in 6 months+, but will be going to 6-9 months + very very soon.

Oh Baby Food... how you have been such an adventure! The doctor gave us a go ahead on baby food at her six month check up so we have been hitting Gerber Stage 1 veggies and fruits hard for the past month! Easton has not had any allergic reactions or found anything she doesn't like. Her food schedule is as follows: 9 am Oatmeal and 1 container of fruit baby food; 12 pm 2 containers of baby food; dinner time (5:30-6:30 pm) 2 containers of baby food. We have decided not to increase her baby food intake until she bumps up to 8 oz. of boobie juice. Baby food should compliment boobie juice and not replace it. Right now we are still at one 7 oz bottle a day and she nurses in the morning and at bedtime. So basically she is consuming boobie juice 3 times a day... sometimes 4 on the weekends.

Chew, or should I say gumming like crazy! I am telling you there has to be a tooth coming in soon. This gal is gumming everything in reach.

As my previous blog said... She likes to move it, move it! Easton is so close to crawling. She also loves to stand and bounce up and down while you hold her. She is going to be such a busy little bee once she goes mobile.

Weight: 14 lbs. 7 oz. Height: 25 3/4" as of 2/11/11

Easton LOVES her bath time! Her favorite part... the wash rag! She loves to suck the water out of it and gum it!


This little pose is what we call free style. Normally she has her feet in the air and one hand reaching up to the sky. But the day I took her pictures she decided to tone it down a bit. Can you tell the flower is tickling her nose? Watch out Vogue... Easton Blondell maybe on your next cover!

The picture below is my favorite! It totally shows her personality. Curious and seriously cute. Quick note about the shoes. She would not keep them on. She would take them off and they would go straight to her mouth so I decided if you can't beat them join them. The socks came off and the shoes became a prop for the photo shoot.
