Oh, And Happy Memorial Day

Happy Half Birthday, Little E

Evan is 18 months old today!! We had a great day - he "graduated" from The Little Gym, we had lunch with friends complete with a sprinkle-covered ice cream cone, and played with new toys. He loves the new Dr. Seuss animals from Grandma, but he calls the fox "Elmo"! He continues to impress us daily with his communication skills, we think he's very advanced for his age...although it's possible we're biased. He's becoming really affectionate and much more daring physically - once he's figured something out (like scaling the raised planters in the yard), he goes at it with gusto. Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a gift, their natural joy is contagious!

BFF's

These are too cute not to post... Evan adores his friends, and is especially drawn to girls and older kids - he should have been a younger sibling! Here he is helping Laven get up on the deck.

Happy Mom's Day

I've decided there should be a mother's day at least once a month! We had a lovely day together, Evan took a super long nap, mom got spoiled with tons of good food all day long (and no dishes!). We took a hike up the hill in our neighborhood and had a scrumptous picnic, the weather was wonderful - ahhh!

Evan in Action

How can you not love this kid? Here he is discovering water, rocks and boats during our trip in Austin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW48MuEcKdQ

Every day is a plethora of new discoveries, and it's so fun to be on this journey with him! We're loving his new word, "dude", and how he cracks himself up all the time. He loves to pick flowers and smell them, and exclaims "Oh, BUG!" while stomping his feet when he sees one. Indoors, he likes to pull all of the cushions off the couch and jump on them, and he's been riding his scooter all over!
