Saturday Fun

For the first time in months Ben didn't have to work last Saturday. So we enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend. Evan got a lot of outside time. Go Cal!
This boy loves to swing, high!



Here is the dance sequence...



Uh-oh, the music stopped.
Oh good, it's back!

Dada, let me hold those hose!
And he's soaked!

A Little of This, a Little of That

I can't believe it has been almost three weeks since I have posted! I guess we've been busy. Evan has added some new words to his vocabulary. The most popular right now are lights (sounds like lie), jack-o'-lantern (sounds like jacko) and please (sounds like peas). He loves to point to lights, as well as turn them off and on, but his favorite light right now is his jacko. Now that the teeth are in and the cold has passed, we are once again working on sleeping for periods longer than three hours at night. Someday...
Evan loves to help! Here he is "helping" me make zucchini bread. Look at that tongue! This is pure concentration.

Now this tongue is not concentration. He is licking his lips after licking the spoon. This warranted his first actual, "yum."
Here he is helping with the luggage and giving his baby jacko a ride.
A boy and his truck.
Helping mama get ready for Age of Sail.
A hard good-bye. My second night away from him, was much harder than the first, but I survived and so did he.

Evan seems to eat so much more when he gets to sit at his little table and draw while he eats. Probably not a great habit to start, but sometimes he just needs to eat.



I love this one!

Love those dimples!
He must have been really into that ball game on the TV....
Photo shoot with grandma and papa before they head home.


Evan did everything but take a nap for two hours while in his crib on Sunday...

...I guess this answers the question, "Why would a high chair need to recline?"
Playing with daddy before dinner.
This outfit is too cute!
Evan loves his new basketball hoop, and he is a natural.

Our Little Jayhawk

Our little Jayhawk is 16 months! We went to the doctor today for his well baby visit and shots. He is 2 ft 7 3/4 in tall (57%) and he weighs 23 lb 5.4 oz (26%). He is regularly saying hi, and please. When he wants something he points and says, "peas." It is too cute! He also is saying what we think is "I did it." He is is saying it in one of the videos, so you can be the judge. We went through and switched out most of the 12 months summer clothes for the 18 month winter clothes. In the mix we found a pair of slippers passed down to Evan from his friend Rowan. Evan loves them! You will see them in the video too and hear Evan's latest favorite cd (his Auntie Alysha left her Now 30 cd here).


Just carrying his buckets back and forth, back and forth.


He really wants to help with the lawnmower....

Practicing for senior pictures at an early age:)

Testing out the new slippers.


What will we do when the everyday items in his room no longer bring him so much joy?
