Can't believe it ... 5 months old already!

Getting to be such a big boy!
Easton is such a wild man - he is constantly on the go.  They call him, "Running Man" at daycare because no matter what he's doing those legs are always kicking!  Once he figures out the whole crawling thing we're going to be chasing him everywhere!  He's working sooo hard on trying to crawl.  He won't lay on his back anymore ... the second you put him on his back he rolls over to his stomach and moves those legs nonstop.  He's able to scoot himself around a bit but hasn't mastered the official crawl yet.  Once he started rolling over to his stomach Jake and I went out and bought a video monitor.  Not sure why we didn't get one of these right away - they're amazing!!!  Easton is also getting his legs stuck in-between the bars of his crib during the night because he moves so much - another reason for the video monitor.  I also just bought a breathable mesh bumper pad so hopefully that'll work and we won't have to worry about him breaking any limbs by getting them stuck!  He's also trying to get the hang of sitting.  He can sit for a couple seconds and then gets a little top heavy and topples over.  But, I think he'll figure it out in the next couple of weeks!  It's just so fun to watch all the new things he learns -Other than rolling over and sitting he has been reaching and grabbing for toys to play with (mainly so he can shove them in his mouth) and he loves to pinch people's noses (Jake and I have a few scratches on our faces to prove it!)  I also taught him how to stick his tongue out - it's hilarious!  He'll mimic you if you stick your tongue out at him - he'll do it right back!  :)


Wouldn't sit still long enough for a picture with Mr. Bear this month! Tackling him was much more fun!
Sticking his tongue out!

Learning to sit ... caught his eye as he was falling over!
