Oh, what a sweet and funny boy we have in little Evan! He is pure joy! I can't imagine life without him. He turned 6 months old on April 8th and he is just loving life and all of the new tricks he is learning!
Now that we have a little more room, we were able to pull out some new toys for him! One of the first was his highchair. Meals can get pretty messy, so it's nice finally having the highchair put together. And as you can see, he thinks he is the cat's meow in his new highchair! He was so excited the first time we put him in it - yeah, a new toy! He finally gets to eat right beside us at meals - so fun!
He started sitting up at 6 months old and gets very serious when he is sitting... it's like he is concentrating and focusing. I've been able to get a couple of pictures of him sitting, but not many smiling - it's just too serious, no time for smiles, mom! Oh - and he does have two bottom teeth - they came in around 5 months actually... so all of our toys are getting good use, in his mouth of course. And he loves chomping down on the spoon when you feed him.
He still loves being on his tummy and he is the rolling machine.... he'll roll all the way across a room in a matter of seconds. And he's getting good about spotting something that he wants and rolling to get it! Uh oh - need to make sure this house is "Evan proofed".
And the picture below... this is always funny when babies do this... we call it "swimming", he's just paddling away - places to go, people to see apparently!
And here is one of Evan's favorite - his brother. Oh, are we in love with our brother - they are so in love with each other. It's very sweet. Preston is so gentle and so loving and just so proud of Evan. He entertains him while I am fixing his food and fetches me diapers and bibs... he is a great help! And Evan just lights up when he sees Preston... and even cries when Preston walks away sometimes. Preston delights in every smile that he gets from Evan, and especially loves it when he can make him laugh! And Preston marvels every time Evan accomplishes something new, he is excited about every milestone! Oh, pretty soon I'll have TWO wild and crazy boys RUNNING through this house!
Evan's other favorites... his Daddy of course - although he is a bit of a Mama's Boy right now.... I'll take that! I love that I'm able to spend this precious time with him at home; it's priceless. He also LOVES being tickled and loves it when you laugh out loud at him and clap for him... those things will always get a laugh. And I actually found one day that he loves the sound of a zipper... so to get a laugh all you have to do is say "ziiiipppp!" Too funny!
He is loving having his own room and sleeping in his nice, bigger bed! He is my snoozer... takes great naps and sleeps almost 12 hours most nights! We had his 6-month check up and he is a tall guy - in the 90th percentile like his brother. He is still our "Spit Up King" - you can't take the boy anywhere without packing a few dozen bibs and burpies... it's quite the scene. I think he'd weigh 30 pounds if he kept it all inside! The doctor says it should get better by 9 months old... please!!!
Well, of course I am still playing catch up on the blog - so I need to save some of Evan's new tricks for his 7-month update - so much happens in a month - that's it for now!
I'll leave you with my boys...
