Eston's mobile!!!

It seems like he's changed so much since we've lived in Mountain Home! A week and a half ago, we were at Tom & Jill's house and he started clapping! Miss Lilly at daycare has been teaching him patty cake. Then, last weekend, we were at Brent & Sammie's and he started crawling! He was going after a ball and just took off on three steps or crawls or whatever you call it. Sammie tried to take a picture and Brent tried to film it after that, but I guess he was camera shy and didn't want to. But he is now crawling! Not too fast just yet. His second tooth has broke through and they both are visible when he gets a little frustrated when you don't have his dinner ready fast enough! He is pulling up to his knees on the coffee table, and I'm sure it's going to be soon that he is pulling up to a stand since he loves to stand up when you hold his hands. However, he wants so badly to be independent and tries to let go of your hands. He'll be 10 months this Saturday. This past month has flown!

Eston has a new cousin in law! Whitney's brother (Bret) and wife (Angie) had a baby Jan 30th. His name is Cooper. We got Eston and Cooper together for a photo shoot the day before we moved. Their Aunt Whitney got them matching onsies that said "Stud Muffin" on them for Valentine's Day. Not planned, but they even had the same pacifiers.

"Hey, he has more hair than I do."

Eston's feeling so much better. Still tugging on his ear from his ear infection but sleeping again. As soon as I say that, he'll be up all night tonight!

He's getting a tooth! First one! I noticed it yesterday and it's just barely poking through. He's also so close to crawling. He rolls around a lot and can get back into a seated position from laying down rolling. He scoots backwards a little and gets up on all fours. So, crawling will come soon and then he'll be all over the place. I keep telling Alli and Zoe to enjoy this time while he is still not mobile! I'm afraid he'll be chasing them everywhere.
