Happy 1st Birthday!!!

Evan had a wonderful birthday - 1 whole year old! We played at the Children's Museum, and Evan created his first work of art...with only minimal amounts of paint ingested. We opened some presents and had dinner out, a perfect birthday celebration. We can't wait for the big party on Saturday!

The End of Evan's First Year...

This is such a reflective time, remembering just a year ago when we were anxiously awaiting Evan's arrival. It's amazing to see what a character he's become and how much he's changed!

First Steps!!!

Just as I say we're not anxious for walking, Evan took his first steps! He's still wobbly, so who knows if actual walking is in the near future - but it's pretty amazing to see him try. Managed to catch a few of them on camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQh9i1ZK1kE

Entertaining Baby

Evan started saying "hi!" while waving the other day! He's almost completely converted to a normal crawl rather than the army, and is standing on his own better every day. We're still in no hurry for him to actually walk... Here's a clip of him signing "all done" and doing his funny "aahhh" after drinking water: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7-KAwiVjX4

Copy Cat

We had a great time with our family in town, Evan is quite the little mimic lately! He copies nearly anything we do, and his signing repertoire is growing daily. He loves getting into absolutely everything, and standing briefly with no hands. He's gotten really communicative and physically active in the past couple of weeks - our little chatterbox!

First Halloween

Evan had so many fun Halloween activities this week! We went to "Boo at the Zoo", had a dress-up playgroup, a group hike and went trick-or-treating at dad's office. And we still have a costume birthday party to go to...good thing we have 2 costumes!
