Week 36

Evan is rolling from his belly to his back like a champ! He has also just recently started a new phase of "talking." He now says the same string of sounds together over and over. This last weekend it sounded like he was saying, " I did it," over and over again. Now, when you watch the video, you may not agree, but that is what Ben and I thought.

Evan smiles whenever he sees his daddy, but especially in the jumpster.

In the video below you can hear all the ranges of his laughter. He has become very ticklish in the last couple of weeks. His chest and thighs get a giggle almost every time.

We have discovered that Evan eats much more if it is coming from Ben.
This is his first taste of green beans.

"Really mom, a picture of every new food?"

"Seriously, I'm done."

In these pictures he sure does look like a crawler, but he isn't quite there yet.

In this video he shows off his B-Boy skills!

8 Month Birthday Bath

Evan was having a great time in the bath last night... You can finally see his bottom teeth in this picture!

He laughed so hard I just had to get the camera...

Week 35

Evan is 35 weeks today, and 8 months tomorrow! Time has gone by so fast! The little man is so close to getting his butt and belly in the air at the same time. I may have said it before, but we are so not ready for that.
He shows his two teeth a lot more now, but I still haven't managed to get them on camera. We get to see them when he smiles now too, not just when he cries.

Evan had a visit with the Seales on Sunday. I think there will be some dress up tea parties in his future, since Avery was already trying to put his hair in a barrette.

It could be rough being the only boy.

Brynn, Avery, and Evan

He is already working on those top teeth.

Evan had a visit from Sue on Saturday.

While she was here he got his belly and butt in the air at the same time, but we both started clapping and cheering so loudly that he started crying.

Evan loves sitting in front of the sliding glass door; it is like one big mirror.

What?

Doesn't he look too skinny when you can't see his legs?

Where did my banana go?

He wasn't sure what to think at first, but after awhile he really enjoyed chasing the banana around his tray.

Evan needed a little exercise after all that "eating" and I needed some time to clean up!

Week 34

On Sunday Evan had a play date with Jack. I didn't catch it on camera, but Jack is a moving machine! He is all over the place, and it made me grateful that Evan is only barely able to get his butt in the air. Evan wasn't quite sure what to think of all these new toys...
...that is until he realized they could go in his mouth just like his at home! Jack may be a little bit taller, but Evan weighs almost three pounds more. It must be all that crawling that Jack is doing:)
Evan had such a blowout on Saturday, that he got a little naked time while I cleaned up. He was too cute to pass up, so here are some shots from our mini photo shoot. The pics aren't the best quality because they are taken with the video camera, but they are still pretty darn cute.

Like I said, Evan is starting to push his butt in the air, and he can scoot pretty well on his tummy when he wants to. So here are a couple of videos where he shows off his skills.

So, I think this will be his last shot in the swing. I think he has outgrown it...

...and not only because his feet hang off the seat...

...but because he can reach the mobile!

Plus, I think you can see the swing rocking back and forth in the video.


Fresh out of the bath.

He is close to outgrowing this one too, but he loves to jump so much, I think we will raise it to the last level, and hope his legs don't grow too quickly.

Tuesday morning, the boy woke up with some serious bed head!
