Happy First Birthday Easton!

Easton turned ONE on March 7. He is so sweet! I did a birthday party on the 8th with the theme, "You are my sunshine" because i have always called him our sunshine. The party was a lot of work, but i love doing parties, so it was fun preparing for it. We had homemade macaroni and cheese, spinach salad, fruit, and veggie straws. For treats we had cupcakes, lemon bars, and a few candy jars that people could pick from to fill up a treat bag. A woman who used to be in our ward, Marla Crestani, now has a cake business. She make an adorable smash cake for Easton for only 20 dollars! Usually it would have been over a hundred dollars. She's so sweet! It had a sun on the top with a number one, and then it said Easton on the side. When it was time for him to dig in, he kinda just poked at it a little. I think because it had fondant on the outside, it was a little harder for him to dig in. He certainly loved it though! At one point i switched it out for a smaller cupcake that i thought might be easier for him to handle. He got the saddest look on his face and tears welled up in his eyes. So i hurried and gave him the big cake back. Sweet little guy!

I took him in for his 12 month appointment and he got several shots. He cried for a minute but not too bad. He weighed 19 lbs 8 oz. and was 29 inches long. So he is in about the 20th percentile for both weight and height, but his head is in the 98th percentile! Ha ha! He has two bottom teeth and one top tooth just cut through today! He is a cruising master and could probably walk if he tried but he is too scared. He loves to mimic sounds. He is constantly copying us and it always makes us laugh. He can say, Mama, Dada, uh oh, Jesus (shush), and hello (eh-doh). He knows where his nose is, and loves to shake his head yes and no, and to dance! We love this boy so much!
