My Baby is 1

I can't believe one year ago, I was at the hospital with a new family member in my arms. I had waited for what seemed like ages for him to get here. It is crazy how fast those little ones grow and develop in just one year. So much has changed since he was a quiet observant newborn, content to be held and watch the world. I can't believe he is already a little person, walking, talking, throwin attitude :), teasing, flirting, making messes, giving kisses, singing, and learning. What amazes me the most is how independantly he learns. At times I worry at my skills as a mother, and look at this little man and how he has developed and I know Heavenly Father must help us out a little. I really think he has taught me more this year than me teaching him. He is so independant, I try to give my two cents, and he acts like, I got this Mom, no worries. I know it must sound cheesy, but I love Easton so much. I really am so thankful I am able to be his mother and be surrounded by his sweet spirit. Here are some things about Easton at 1 I want to remember:
* He is so selective with his kisses. He makes the perfect little pucker, but it rarely makes an appearance. Grandma Bern (my Grandma Spiers) always gets kisses (as she should, he knows how much we love her). I'm starting to get them more often, I'm still trying to figure out what entices him to pucker up.
*He is walking and running everywhere. He loves to kick a ball around (watch out David Beckham). He can crawl up the stairs, but it takes awhile as we have to stand and applaud each stair he climbs.
*He is a great dancer. He stands and bobs along with the music, and has the funniest look on his face like he is concentrating so hard to stay on beat.
*He switched over from formula to whole milk without even batting an eye. He is such an easy baby! Can I get a WHOOHOO! No more buying expensive formula!
*He is starting to use a few baby signs. Madison said he was doing the sign for Mom and crying (sad) when I left the other night. He does bottle or milk, and he is so close to doing the sign for more.
*He sure is being a picky eater lately. I was sure that chubby baby would down anything, but he is proving me wrong. He would be happy on a diet of milk and goldfish crackers.
*He still loves Grandma Rass more than anyone.
*He says da-da whenever daddy walks in the room. We're still working on mama. Of course.
*His laugh is about the best sound in the world.
I love that little boy! Happy Birthday! Lots of pictures of the partyin to come...
