Easton is on the MOVE!

On February 24 at 7 months and 1 week old Easton decided she no longer wanted to stare at her puppy dogs from afar. Nor did she want to be confined to a blanket of toys. She figured there was MUUUUCH more interesting things to play with beyond the blanket. Most importantly there was a better way to get there than by rolling... crawling! We were lucky enough to both be able see her accomplish this milestone together. Seriously my heart leaped when I saw her put one hand and knee in front of the other. Josh and I were truly amazed and so so proud of what she was doing. We were beaming from ear to ear and kept telling each other "did you see that?" and "look at her go". I have not been so proud in my entire life as I was at that moment.

So from that Thursday evening forward we haven't stopped saying "No Easton", "Get back over here", "Not your toy", "We don't put that in our mouth", "Heeey, Heeey, Hey", and "You are quick". In the few short days that Easton has learned to crawl she has managed to grab the dog's tails and paws, get her finger stuck in the vent, bang her head on the entertainment center, grab picture frames, attack shoes, found a plug-in and make a run, or crawl, for the dog toys.

Easton looks so tiny on the floor crawling. I mean like a speck in the big carpet sea. She loves to explore the world around her by touching, slapping and running into stuff. She has also started waving her arms and "clapping", but she only does it when she wants to. Rarely does she do it on cue.
I leave you with pictures of Easton riding her new horsey! (she is naked because we were getting ready to do bath)
