8 Months

This was a BIG month in the Eason house!

This picture is from pre-church protest day....we were up and getting ready for church (we were even past the point where Hayes got dressed in this cute outfit that Ms. Ashley gave him) and Hayes decided that he had other plans (mainly to eat...he's definitely part Woodruff!). Then he was THIS happy:

We went to see Beth, Sharon, Mom, Dad and Jenn in Atlanta and also went to Asheville, NC a couple of weeks before that, and most recently went to Austin and San Antonio (lots of traveling for such a little man!). He looks like he's either explaining something or doing a dance move:

He loves the bath!

He loves Crystal Lite and drinking out of a big cup...he reaches for our cups even if he's holding his sippy cup!

He went to see his first baseball game while in San Antonio...here he is with Uncle Jack: Go Cardinals!!

Other new things:

- He has a second tooth that has popped up right next to the first

- He is starting to crawl on his knees (the first time was on his "birthday" with Nanny Austin) but still mostly Army crawls to get around

- He is clapping a lot

- He SQUEALS...it is a happy sound but oh, so ear-piercing!

- He is starting to feed himself with finger foods big enough for him to coordinate

- Pulling up on the couch to standing

- Sitting up from lying down

- Eating meats (pureed...blah, I couldn't bring myself to Beaba that so he's eating from jars!)

- Pulling off the plug covers (I mean, come on...I can't get them off but he can?!)
