Weeks 21 & 22 in Review... by Evan

Sitting, Eating, and Grandparents....

These weeks have been fun for me. I started learning to sit up. This picture is when mommy propped me up and I was sitting all by myself for a few seconds... she ran to get the camera, and I almost squashed Scarlet falling over. Oh well, I'll keep practicing that one til Mommy can get a real picture



I decided it was time to start eating some real food.... Over the weekend, Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy, and I went out for bbq. As soon as Mommy had her food, I smacked my left hand down in her mashed potatoes, and my right in her mac-n-cheese, just to get my message across... "I'm ready to try new food." What they gave me was really boring... rice cereal... I liked the cheesy stuff better!



We had a very nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa Hunt who came down from Kansas to see us. I liked playing with them so much, that I decided not to nap the whole time they were here.... back to my old tricks. To be nice to Mommy, I took a 2 hour nap on Monday once they left, and have been taking a couple short naps a day to get back on track. So much for the sleep book mommy read, I'm not buying it!



Off for another week of adventures. Thanks for stopping by.....

Happy 5 Months!

Can you believe Evan is 5 months old? We can't! Looking back at the past posts, it's fun to watch him growing. Day to day, of course, we don't appreciate the changes, but they're certainly there! He's getting to be a big baby!

In the last month, he's become more vocal, interested in food, he's outgrowing most of his 3-6 month clothes (if they're one-piece outfits), and likes petting the kitties. Can't wait to see what he learns next month.

Weeks 19 & 20 in Review... by Evan

Whoop (or am I too young to whoop?) It's football season, and I already love staring at the big tv with football on. Mom says it's scary, Dad says I'm just a boy... oh, I love the remote control too... all those buttons!


Everything goes in my mouth this week, and/or I am sucking on my bottom lip, so Mom has found it hard to get a good picture of me. Oh well, that's the phase and I'm sticking to it. Who knows, maybe this means I'll get teeth sometime soon (although Mom tells me this can go on for months before those white things invade your mouth)


"I'm Tall like Daddy" Gotta duck to go thru the doors in this house... I don't know how Dad does it.

No big adventures this week... oh, and Mom & I had a cold last week, so there weren't many pictures (who wants to capture that image on film?)

Week 18 in Review... by Evan

So, Mommy has created a Nap Monster... aka Me. I won't sleep unless snuggled up to her or nursing. She wishes I will break that habit soon, but I got news for her! Why would I want to give up a good thing? Ok, maybe I'll entertain the napping solo idea, but she's gonna have to get more creative than just my crib... been there, done that!


This is my latest play date picture... Me, Annabelle, and Anderson (Dane was eating... big surprise!) =)

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!

Week 15 in Review... by 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!
