Oh my is all this Mommy can say about her very active baby boy. Easton started attempting to pull up on pieces of furniture right after he turned 6 months old, which seemed kind of premature since he wasn't crawling yet. Well, Thanksgiving day, little E made his crawling debut and he is unstoppable now! The boy is everywhere and is so very proud of himself when he crawls to you in another room. Additionally, he is pulling up on everything, but only with his arms and chest, which often leads to pretty major falls. Falls, which led to a call to 911 due to a minor concussion he received when he pulled up on a ride on toy in the play room, fell backwards, toy landed on top of him and he landed on top of a bridge piece to the train table track. I was afraid he cut his head open, but didn't realize the real pain was internal, so the next morning when he did a normal fall on the carpet, but cried, I was a little puzzled. Within seconds, he was struggling to open his eyes and then went lethargic. I thought he wasn't breathing, put him on the ground to I guess do CPR, and he started screaming. We opted not to transport Easton and instead take him to see his pediatrician. Sure enough he had a bruise on the back of his head. Poor little guy. Fast forward 2 days later and Easton got a fat, bloody lip when he discovered crawling up the hallway step, but couldn't quite figure out the down part and went face first onto the tile. Poor guy! And while Mommy and Daddy appear to be absentee parents, I was right there with both backwards falls, but couldn't catch him and Daddy was 1 foot away from him with the bloody lip face plant! Little Easton wants so badly to be a part of his brother and sissy's fun. Major babyproofing is in the works at our house!
Other E news:
- He has started singing a chorus of sounds--such precious noises.
- Easton still sleeps inconsistently, but for the most part sleeps until 5, eats and goes back to sleep until 7:30. Some nights he still wakes up around 2:30. Unfortunately, he is not at all a self-soother, so Mommy has to oblige every time he wakes up.
- He loves our backyard swing and park swings.
- Easton eats three solid meals a day--some of his new favorites are plums, apples, honeydew melon, and puffs along with all his staple veggies of carrots, zucchini, green beans, broccoli and yams.
- He weighs 20 pounds--a pound heavier than Clayton was.
- Easton loves to grab your face and kiss or chew on it!
- He is a HAPPY boy!
