6 Months Old!

Time really has flown by! Evan turned 6 months old today - he's 20 lbs. and nearly 28" long, and gets more animated every day. We opened presents and had an exciting dinner of oatmeal and bananas! This video is for the grandparents (unless anyone else is remotely interested in watching him eat...) - you can see that he's still a very enthusiastic eater!

More Food & Lots of Babbling


Evan has tried out all kinds of new foods this week, it's been fun (and messy!). He's doing lots of babbling the past couple of weeks, here's a clip of him "talking".

Big Week!

Wow - Evan's first tooth, with #2 about to break the surface any minute, and he had his first solid food last night! It was a bit unintentional, he was showing interest in mom eating so we tried a dab of banana on our fingertip. He sucked it off and reached for more, so we tried a spoonful...he gobbled that up, plus about 3 more tablespoons full! Guess the kid was ready to start with some real food.

Evan's First Tooth & Our First Mother's Day

Evan got his first tooth on Friday! We spent a long weekend with our friends at Blue Lake Ranch, near Durango, CO. On the way there we stopped to see the Great Sand Dunes, the tallest in North America. The whole weekend we had gorgeous weather and breathtaking views, it was relaxing and lots of fun! The babies were great, and we had a wonderful first Mother's Day together.

Hiking & Zoo Time



It's hard to take pictures on the trail, but Evan and mom have been doing lots of hikes with our Mountain Mamas group in the beautiful weather. We weren't the only moms with babies at the zoo this week, this cute little duckling crossed our path while strolling around! Evan used his first consonant yesterday, he babbled "mamamamama" :)

A Chill Week

Our future REI consumer...for now he's settling for eating the catalog! Also a pic from our trip to the Botanic Gardens with friend, Audrey. We went on a very challenging hike this week, and Evan napped in the backpack the entire time while mom huffed it in the heat!

Michigan Trip

Whew - what a trip! We had an open house at Grandma Maddy & Grandpa Bill's house to introduce Evan, saw lots of friends and family, and gave him his first mini-haircut. I'd rather not talk about the plane trip this time...
