Week 44

Evan turned 10 months this week! We went to the doctor on Wednesday, and he is on the same growth curve in all areas, except his head! He was in the 12th percentile at 6 months, and now he is in the 52nd! He is in the 61st percentile for height (2' 5"), the 33rd percentile for weight (20 lbs 3.1. oz), and the 21st percentile for weight for length. He has a case of baby eczema, and his iron level was a little lower than they would like it to be. So, we are increasing his green veggie intake and lathering on the Aveeno lotion. He is getting his fifth tooth, and getting closer to crawling on his hands and knees. Most importantly, he is sleeping through the night, yay! Tonight Evan had a visit from Grandma Tammy, Papa Kirk, and his cousins Alysha and Kaleya. Below Kaleya is being very patient with a very tired Evan as she tries to read him his going to bed book. He started out fairly attentive. Then, he lost interest, and she lost hold of the book trying to keep him focused.
Finally, she decided to prop the book, and hold on to him to keep him focused.


We moved one of his jumpsters outside, and he loves taking in the new scenery. He is going to be one of those kids that rides his bike and roller coasters with no hands because he kept putting both hands in the air and jumping away.




He is playing with everything in his room. Including the dresser drawers and his door. I stepped out to get something and came back to a closed door, with Evan on the other side. Luckily he can't push it hard enough to latch it, so I could ease the door open without knocking into him. Needless to say, I panicked a little.
Showing off his toothy grin!


Evan had his first trip to the city. We were in San Francisco Sunday for Andrea's shower. We enjoyed getting to see her pregnant, and spending the day with Anna and Isaiah.

Week 43

Let me just start with saying that it may look like I posted every picture I took, but I didn't. I just thought so many of them were cute.
Evan had a great time at our play date yesterday. He took a little time to warm up to all the other babies, but eventually he was the smiley, chatty boy we love so much. I think he was a little overwhelmed by all the crawling and pulling up going on around him, but he soaked it all in, and he is going to be among them any day now. There are a lot of group pictures, but I figured there were a lot of people in them, and everyone might like a different one. So, enjoy!

Evan, taking it all in.


Does Evan look envious?

Getting ready for the play date. He wasn't quite sure what to think of these shoes.


Practicing his skills.
Evan's Auntie brought his cousin Avery over to play, and he couldn't have been happier.
I thought he only did that to the ladies, guess not!


Aren't they too cute?

Up on all fours! He has done this a few times now, and he even rocks back and forth.
He is always so happy to see Shadow, and he is so curious. I can't wait until Shadow will play with him...
...but for now we will take him just staying still while Evan plays.

Sporting his new Giants gear. Daddy was so proud!

In this video, Evan shows how much control he has over his hands, oh and of course he shows off his vocal chords.
