Where has January gone!? Eston is sitting up now easily and grabbing everything in sight. He's even reaching for things that are slightly out of his reach, so I'm wondering if he'll want to start scooting toward things. He's not crawling, but loves for you to hold him up in a standing position. If you hold his hands, he will pull up to a stand from sitting. And then gets a big smile on his face...sometimes even a chuckle. He's still so happy, and smiles and laughs all the time!
We are taking Eston on his first "long" trip soon. He has gone to Mtn Home several times, but Thursday night, we are heading up to Minnesota! He has been out of the state twice, but I told Travis that I wasn't going to count those. This is his first real time out of AR. (The first one was to a lumber yard in Tulsa to take back some lumber for a project Travis was working on. The second was to a junk yard in Joplin for a car part. See why I don't want to count them?? Ha!) Anyway, we are leaving Thursday night for KC, and the rest of the way Friday,(weather permitting) to see Travis's mom and Mike. And yes, it's cold up there!!! Hopefully Eston won't mind several hours in the truck. Too bad he's still facing backwards and can't see a dang thing.
We got his 8 month pictures taken a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say they are awesome!!!

Here is a picture of Eston and his girlfriend, Piper at school. Piper has been with Eston since he started daycare at 3 months old. They were both at the first daycare together and switched to the current daycare on the same day. She's 3 weeks older than he is and her mom works at Tyson with me.
