Evan Updates

Evan's up to some new tricks these days! He's so cute, I can barely stand it, but I'm his mom...it's my job, right? At his last doctor's appt, he weighed 22 lbs, 4 ozs and was 28 inches long. He's definitely a healthy boy, and we are so thankful for that. Evan has decided that it's time to eat at the table with us and to chow down on what we're having. He really seems to enjoy breads right now, like Cheerios, Puffs, and toast. He loves strawberries, pears (pretty much all fruit), carrots, peas, corn, potatoes. He really likes Vienna sausages, and today at his uncle's house, he tried (and liked) Bratwurst. He also tried baked beans and ate every one on my plate!! He's not acting very fond of cheese right now, which is weird, because JR and I both love cheese, but we'll give the little guy some time. He'll come around.

Our latest and greatest triumph is we've managed to give up the bottle! (For the most part.) He now drinks his milk from a sippy cup and seems to like it. It's funny though, he started saying "Bot bot" around the time he gave it up. So he just calls the sippy cup his bot bot.

Evan's learning how to walk using his lion walker, and doing pretty good with it. (It roars when he takes a step.) He also loves to drop or throw an object and then say "uh oh!" (He also says Dada, bot bot, bye bye and a version of ma ma which sounds like "na na.") He has two teeth on the bottom, and we're expecting more any day. He drools like crazy.

He swam in the ocean and the pool for the first time last week. We were in Destin with our friends, Alan, Barbie, and their little girl, Emma, and Ben and his little girl, Kayley. We give credit to Emma for teaching Evan a thing or two while we were on vacation. He starting doing alot of the above while we were there! She's also the little girl who gave him his first kiss! If you all are reading this, we had a great time with you all!
