Let Me Do It!


Evan just uttered his first four word phrase and wouldn't you know it was "Let me do it!". Here he is with his Dad earlier this evening while Aaron took him for a walk. I have been sick and house bound for over a week so Aaron has been taking him out for walks every evening when he gets home. Poor child is bored out of his mind!

No Longer a Teen




















Evan turned 20 months last week...he is no longer in his teen-months. It seems like his next birthday is just around the corner now. We had a rough February when he had four molars coming in all at one time, he was not a happy kid. Now he is back to his previous happy ways. We bought him a starter Thomas the Train set and he is loving it. He is also really into cars and trucks (he loves to make engine noises) and attempting to play sports with whatever happens to be around him (i.e. using his drum stick to hit a tennis ball and yelling 'golf!'). He is getting into imaginative play quite a lot, he likes to play trains with Elmo or his monkey and bear (which he always says together as one word 'monkeybear') while they sit across from him at the table. He gives his stuffed animals water, snacks and has them play soccer. He even tells them 'good job' when they kick the ball! He is also getting more interactive with his friends so the play dates we have been having since he was born with my girlfriends' children are finally fun for him and not just me! The pictures above are of Evan with his friend Jack (they just got up from their naps so their hair was especially wild). Jack is only 7 months older than Evan but as you can see he is a head taller (sorry Evan you are genetically destined to be a short guy...).
