Costume Party
Cute things Blair is doing:
- shaking her head no (I'm sure it won't be cute once she learns the word no).
- making her stinky face (blowing air in and out of her nose quickly).
-starting to crawl on her hands and knees. She doesn't do it very much but she will do it every once in a while.

new hair style, strawberries, and muscles
Easton was eating strawberries last night and Blair kept trying to get them from him. I decided to give her some and see how she did with them. She kept trying to stick the whole strawberry in her mouth.
I tried to get a video of Blair sticking the whole strawberry in her mouth but of course she never did it for the camera. Still I thought this video was too funny not to put up. Just listen to Easton in the background. The actual video isn't very interesting to look at.

Water Fun and Spring Party
I also got some plastic cups and put food coloring in the bottom of each one. Easton thought it was neat when he filled them up and the water changed colors.
Video:
Easton eventually got himself wet which he didn't like so he started stripping. It was a little weird when a government worker was walking down the stairs from visiting one of our neighbors and Easton had his underwear down at his ankles, exposing himself to the world. It was a serious battle trying to get his underwear back on but I finally convinced him that if he kept his underwear on long enough for me to grab his swim trunks he could wear those instead. I'm sure the social worker didn't think much of it but it was still a little weird.
Blair woke up from her nap and joined us for a while.
Today we went to Nathan's school for the annual spring party they have for the spouses club. It was really late this year but we still had fun. We had a nice lunch and then the kids got to hunt for eggs. The grass was so long that it was really hard to find the eggs. Easton only had one egg for the longest time until I left Blair in the grass with her basket and some eggs and went to help him find some more. It was pretty funny because Easton for some reason didn't like the glitter eggs. Anytime he picked one up he threw it on the ground and went looking for another egg. Someone even put two glitter eggs in his basket to be nice and he grabbed them and threw them out. Blair was content the whole hunt to just sit in the grass and enjoy her eggs and basket.

10 Months Tomorrow
Video of Blair cruising:
Video of Blair using her walker:
Blair has been creeping for quite a while now but she just figured out that she can creep all over the house. She doesn’t like it when I leave her so she’s been trying to follow me all around the house. She is definitely getting faster. If I’m in a room long enough I can eventually hear her breathing getting louder as she gets closer.
A couple days ago she finally figured out how to get herself into a sitting position from laying down. She still gets frustrated that she can’t do it every time she wants to. She also pulled herself up a few days ago from a sitting position to a standing position using the couch. She hasn’t done it again since then but I’m sure it won’t be long before she’s doing it all the time.
Blair also loves to wave to everyone. If you say, “Hi!” and wave to her she will most likely wave back and give you the biggest grin ever. I just love her huge toothless smile. Still no teeth!
Blair is still picky when it comes to her food. Right now I am trying to give her stage 3 foods but she absolutely hates chunks. She will, no joke, suck off all the sauce/liquid and spit out the chunk(s). She is such a silly girl.
Blair has definitely found her voice and she loves to be vocal. She is screaming/squealing all the time and it is probably because she gets attention when she does it, especially from Easton. Boy does she love attention! Easton is always shushing her, telling her to be quiet or to stop, or tattling to me that she is being too loud. I think all of that just makes her want to do it more and louder. Easton definitely feels like it is his duty to keep her in line.
Blair has recently enjoyed interacting with Easton from a distance or when she initiates it. She really can’t stand him wrestling with her anymore and hates it, most of the time, when he steals things from her. She however loves playing peek a boo with him, especially in the car. Those two are constantly laughing in the back seat together. She is starting to get more and more curious as to what Easton is doing and is now trying to get to whatever he is playing with. Of course Easton doesn’t like to share so he isn’t enjoying this much.

More Easter Fun
Blair with one of her books. This is probably the only time she has gotten to touch it. Easton has already claimed it. At least he is reading it to her. It is really cute to watch him read to her.
Video of Blair's mini Easter egg hunt:
Easter festival
Easton and the guy that helped him up to the slide. He was trying to get Easton to wave to me.
Easton was able to make a craft. It's a foam Easter egg with a magnet on the back. They also had a bunch of games for the kids to play but we didn't really have time to do it and it seemed more for older kids.
