*Insert Witty Post Title Here*

I have been really bad at updating the blog this week. I have been battling a cold that does not seem to want to go away. Ryan keeps asking me if I have been taking my cough medicine - and I have - more than I should and I still am coughing up a storm. Yikes. But our little buddy hasn't gotten sick, thank goodness!

Nothing new to report. I think we will have a walker on our hands real soon. He will get up behind his walker toys and go to town running all over the house....it is just a matter of time until he gets brave enough to through the walking toys to the side! ;-) How fun!

We have continued E's swim classes and I must say that I am so proud of him and his swimming ability. The swim instructor was just gushing over him today because he is really understanding what it going on and he is anticipating what to do from the repetition of movements we have been teaching him. He is amazing, so smart our boy. :-)

Here are two pictures from Halloween. We had my parents and Aunt Vonnie and Uncle Ken over for dinner and to see Easton in his costume. :-) I didn't get the best pictures because it was a bit of a hectic night and all - we had trick-or-treaters up the wazoo!

Easton-Toe and the pumpkin Daddy carved for him! It says, "E's 1st Boo!" All of the neighbors loved it! :-) I think E did too!

Then last Sunday we went to the mall because Daddy and Grampy wanted to see E on the carousel. It was an insane day at the mall and everyone wanted to ride the caurosel. Needless to say, it was not as fun as we hoped it would be (lots of screaming kids and a lazy carousel operator) but we made the best of it and also let E ride some of the rides that are in back of the carousel. He had a good time and that's all that matters!

Happy Easton and Daddy on the carousel!

Easton saying "Hello!" to Bob The Builder!

And then I took this real quick last Saturday after Easton woke up from his nap. He has been doing this for a LONG time now (standing up in his crib) but for some reason, on this day, he just looked really old, like a real big boy and it broke my heart and I snapped a pic. Mommy loves you Toe!
