Week 47

Evan's big accomplishment this week was learning to get from his belly to a sitting position. At the beginning of the week he could only do it in the tub, but by the weekend he was doing it with ease on dry land. After the blog last week someone commented that Evan's daddy was showing up more and more in his looks. Here is a picture of me at 1 year. What do you think?

He isn't pulling up on his own, but he loves to stand and play at his activity table.

The boy of a million faces returns!

He looks like such a little boy in this one!

Evan tried a teething biscuit for the first time this week, and now I truly know how messy they are!

A little photo shoot with mommy!

Here is a video of Evan sitting up for the first, well second, time.

Week 46

We spent most of week 46 without a camera because I needed to make space on my memory cards by downloading to the computer. Apparently the little cheezer missed having his photo taken as much as I missed taking it!

I don't know if it is teething, or the change in the weather, but something has his nose flowing again, so try to ignore the snot nose.

This week he started the inevitable, feeding Shadow. He just loves his dog, and thank goodness Shadow is so patient. I don't know if you can see it in these photos, but Evan is pulling on Shadow like there is no tomorrow.

You can see his baby eczema in some of these shots, poor baby. Doesn't it look like he is in the pool with a kick board?

Oh, is that the camera?

It is, isn't it?

Apparently I wasn't close enough in the previous shots because he decided to move in a little closer.

Like I said, the cheezer missed the camera.

Curious George coming in for his infamous camera grab.

Just back from our Sunday walk to the park with Shadow.

On the move (it only looks like he is crawling on his hands and knees), he still prefers the army crawl.

Week 45

Evan's 45th week was fabulous, despite the computer issues. Ben and I both had the week off, he got to see four out of five of his grandparents, and all of his cousins. Evan has been babbling for awhile, but this week he started babbling with a purpose and looking at me like, "Why aren't you answering me?" He is continuing to army crawl everywhere, and daddy has now experienced being shut out of the room by Evan. On Easter I was jumping on his cousins' trampoline and did a front tuck, and out of nowhere Evan started crying a cry we have never heard. Thus, the not wanting to be separated from mommy syndrome began.
Below is a video of his favorite pass time.

We spent his first Easter with Ben's side of the family. He had two egg hunts, one here the day before Easter, and one at Connie and Ned's on Easter.

He loved his Easter rabbits, but the pail was his favorite!

Dying Easter eggs and spending time with grandma and papa.

The weather was so nice over the break that we got to spend some time at the park. He loves the swing, and tried one of the rocking animals, and he loved that too.

So I was snapping pictures with the camera and switched to video, and forgot to rotate it back. So, yes, I realize that the video is sideways.

Easter egg hunt number one.

Getting his hair blown back by his toy.

Trying to comfort his cousin.

Getting ready for our playdate with Brittany, Julie, and Bailie while daddy was at the Giants game.

I LOVE this picture!

Evan has started eating little pieces of toast and waffles. In these pictures he is really showing off his teeth, including his newest one on the top. Lately he has been obsessed with watching us drink from a cup, so I let him try my water. He loves it, even if he does just blow bubbles half the time.

Kisses for his cousin Kaleya before she gets on the road to Disneyland. Playing with Kaleya. The two of them really hit it off!

Photo op with the cousins! As soon as Papa Kirk emails me his pics, I will add them. He has a few good ones of the three of them.
