Week 17

Evan started daycare on Monday. This is a picture of him and Susan. He was all smiles and giggles when I went to pick him, so I know we made a good choice. I love to snuggle and cuddle!
"What?" "Hello:)" "Yes, I am as precious as I look."
Just another long day watching ball games...

Saturday morning with Grandma Tammy and Papa Kirk.


Papa Kirk and Grandma Tammy came down for a quick visit on Friday night.

Friday was Evan's last day with the Thomas family. We were so lucky that these ladies (and Greg) opened up their home to Evan. He will miss them:) Anais, Nicola, Arianna, Ashton and Evan
Tuesday Evan had his first ride in the front seat. We got a flat tire on the way home, so we both got to ride in the front seat of the tow truck. Of course he was still in his carseat, so the view wasn't that different, but it certainly was an adventure.

Hi Mommy!

Week 16

He is mesmerized by the light of the TV, especially when it is Monday night football.
He is cute as a bug!
Evan had another playdate with Samantha. Aren't they cute? They are less than two weeks apart (Evan is younger).



Before his big playdate Mr. Strong Neck was chillin' in his Bumbo chair.

Before the Bumbo chair, we warmed up with some tummy time neck exercises.


Yes, that is him sleeping in his crib! Friday was a momentous morning. He took a bath, sat in his chair while I showered (talking my ear off), and then I put him in his crib while I got ready for school. When I went to get him, he was sound asleep! This was the first time he fell asleep on his own. Now we have been repeating this routine each night, and so far so good. He sleeps in his crib from about 7:30-11:30, and then he eats, and back to sleep until about 4 am.
I just love him in overalls! Isn't he getting so big? I remember when I was nervous to put him on the Boppy for fear that it would swallow him.

"Talking" up a Storm

Week 15

He is pretty sure he is the funniest kid on the block...
...and the coolest!

Our guy is weighing in at 13 1/2 pounds these days. Can you believe it?! Doesn't he look so cute all dressed up?

He seems to enjoy a bath just as much as a shower now...I just hope it lasts because mama loves a clean baby!

Just chillin' with his dada. He is such a smiley boy these days.
I know, I know, it looks like this position should really hurt his neck, but it seems to work for him. This week he started sleeping on his boppy in the portacrib (at least for the first few hours of the night). Our goal is to sleep the whole night there before I go on Age of Sail in October. Wish us luck!
