Weeks 16 & 17 in Review... by Evan

As always, I'm loving standing.... I may skip that crawling thing and go straight to cruising at this rate. Who knows!



It would be better if those pix above were a movie, so you could actually see me rolling over, but I can do it now (sometimes)... I've been caught going front to back and back to front. But, of course I can't go a full 360 (that's too advanced at this point)... besides, then I'd have no reason to scream out for assistance like I enjoy doing once I've completed a roll.

Baptism

Evan received his first sacrament, Holy Baptism, today. It was a beautiful ceremony and very personal, as he was the only baby Baptized this week.


Deacon Tom performed the service and our good friends Brooke & Justin Huling are Evan's proud Godparents.


The event was witnessed by many friends and family... Grandmommy Mitchell, cousin Martha, Kirsten, Bill, and Nora Cutshall, Amanda Venton, Staci Greb, Alyssa Brown, Michelle & Charlie Forton, Dave Krueger, Jennifer, Thad, and Gracie Stehling, Shandell Burgess, and Erin Forsyth. Evan is a lucky baby to have all these friends and family, and others who couldn't make it, welcome him into the Body of Christ.


After the service, everyone came to our house for icecream sundaes to continue the celebration.


Congratulations Evan!

Mommy worked at the vet clinic this weekend so I stayed home to play with daddy. He needs someone to keep him company, and I do a great job! Getting ready for my Baptism this weekend... better run, got lots to do!

Week 14 in Review... by Evan

This week I went swimming (but Mommy forgot the camera). The neighborhood pool is close by and there's hardly anybody there at the same time as us, so it's like having our own pool but without the hassle. Mari and Dane came with us to the pool the day that I went swimming. Hopefully next time we'll get a picture.

We've been playing in the yard some, but it went from raining all the time to 100-degrees, so those play times are short. Someday, maybe I can have a sandbox out here to play with the kitties (but they're not allowed in it, cuz they'll think it's a potty). Ok, that was icky, but true!

Bye for now!

Happy 3 Months!

Here's Evan in his Bumbo seat (thanks Dawn for the great present!) He's getting much better at sitting with assistance, and can help me cook from his seat on the island in the kitchen.

He's growing well... and according to the charts is at 50% for height and almost 50% for weight, which are higher than his percentages at 2 months, so we must be doing something right. He'll have the next official check at 4 months, but I sneaked a peak at his trends by weighing him on the cat scale at the vet clinic and getting out the tape measurer at home to check his length. I couldn't stand the suspense!

He's laughing more and has a better attention span. He'll even look at the pages on a book if he's in a good mood. Kind of fun to see his personality coming out..... no surprise here, but he's a laid-back kiddo. Definitely takes after Daddy in that department!

Week 13 in Review... by Evan

Well, another week has gone by. This past one was pretty low-key for Mommy and me. Mostly, we just hung around the house and ran errands... not nearly as exciting as last week was (but that will be hard to top!)

I'm getting into the swing of things and am on a schedule now (although Mommy pretty much let's me change that whenever I want.)
