Weeks 32-33 in Review.... by Evan

Armed with long wish lists and our running shoes, Mommy and I have been checking off who's been naughty and who's been nice. So far, everybody has been nice, except for Scarlet and Sapphire. They got an early present of "coal" in the form of a scatmat. It's a sheet of plastic that zaps them with a static charge when they go under the Christmas tree. We've lost a bunch of ornaments and had the lights all pulled down several times, so maybe this will help keep them out of the tree. Silly kitties.


This is my really cute Santa suit from Miss Kirsten, Mr. Bill, Arden and Nora.


And my "Baby's First Christmas" teddy bear from Miss Brooke, Mr. Justin, and John.

We hope you're having as much fun getting ready for Christmas as we are!

Ho Ho Ho!! Love, Santa Evan

Weeks 25-Month 7 in Review... by Evan

Wow... sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted. My daddy got a new computer and mommy & I can't do posts from the old computer, so we've finally just moved to daddy's computer to get things going. Plus, we've been very busy with daddy being on vacation for 3 weeks, one of which Grandmommy Mitchell shared, and another had Grandma & Grandpa Hunt, along with Greatgrandpa Harvel. Lots of good times, but unfortunately not a ton of pictures.... here are some of the highlights.

These are some of my favorite new toys, now that I can sit up.... soft blocks.


I'm helping dad in the woodshop. Safety First... gotta wear the goggles.


My grandmas worked hard to make this photo happen.... napping still isn't my greatest talent!


Here's a group photo of me, mommy, daddy, Grandma Hunt, Grandpa Hunt, and Greatgrandpa Harvel. Too bad we didn't get a group photo with Grandmommy and Granddaddy Mitchell while they were here... we'll have to do that over Christmas vacation.


Gobble Gobble Gobble.... what a turkey!


Happy baby

See you soon (really, I promise)

Weeks 23 & 24 in Review... by Evan

My grandmommy Mitchell came to visit last week. We played together a lot... here's one of us on the couch, I was too busy to look at the camera.

I'm getting better at sitting all the time. I do best when the kitties aren't around and you don't talk to me.... those things still make me fall over. I've been trying new foods too... Rice, Bananas, Avocado... next is sweet potatoes. I always make a yucky face with something new, but that's for mom's benefit... i eat everything, so I guess she'll soon realize I like it and the face is just for fun.


Here's my Halloween preview.... RRRRoarrrr!!!!

My New Friend

I have a new friend!
This is John Marshall Huling.... my littlest buddy and GodBrother (if there is such a thing)... His mommy & daddy are my Godparents, and my mommy is fixin to be his GodMother.


He's cute and all, but little babies sure don't do much... I'm trying to get his attention over here....


Hello? John? Don't you want to play with me?


Oh, I give up... I'll ham it up for the camera instead.

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?)
