Well, even though so much has happened in the last 8 months, we still can't believe that our little "Baby Evan" is already 8 months old! But let me tell you, he is 8 months going on 18 months! He is now officially on the move and into everything! He has been crawling for a few weeks, but has become more interested in standing and trying to walk these days! He will use whatever means necessary to get to something that he wants!
He is so proud of himself when he is able to stand on his own! He has taken a couple of quick steps, but I'm sure we are still a few months away from walking... PLEASE! Hee hee! He does pull himself up on everything though and walk around the edges of furniture. And if you are sitting he will crawl over to you and grab, claw, pinch his way up on you to get to a standing position! It's hilarious, and quite painful sometimes as he is clawing his way up your chest! Anything to stand... it makes him so happy, he just laughs and gets so excited! And he loves to jump - you'll hold his hands and he'll just jump up and down laughing the whole time. It's a great arm work-out! He does the same thing in his exersaucer, although he'd much rather have you as his jungle-gym.
So I have to talk about Evan's noises... they definitely deserve a paragraph - they are pretty funny. He's got a couple that are trademarks and we have named them appropriately... the first is the "McFly" from the movie Back to the Future... does everyone remember his laugh? That loud, slow "eh, eh, eh".... well, Evan loves making that noise, it's hysterical. He'll just do it over and over - this very dry, loud "EH, EH, EH!". And then more often is his "obscene caller" breathing. He does this heavy breathing when he gets excited - it's the raspy in and out breathing and it sounds like an obscene caller that would call you, breathe and hang up! Or, maybe I've just seen one too many scary movies (they are my favorite)! But of course, on Evan it's hilarious! And he does it ALL the time!
He's doing all sorts of talking, although I know he's not really sure of anything he's saying right now... he does say "dada" and "bubba", but of course they are just babble right now! Preston does get very excited though when he says "bubba". Evan does love copying you... his favorite thing is to smack or click his tongue on the roof of his mouth and he'll have a whole "smack" conversation with you back and forth.... this is the only time I will let my son talk "smack" to me! Hee hee!
Well, that's it for now... as usual I am attaching waaaaay too many pictures below! Enjoy! Love to all!
Just a sweet picture of Evan cracking himself up...
Evan loving his new sippy cup!
"Look, Ma, only one hand!" He loves standing in his bed!
There's no stopping him now... some of his first crawling!
"I can even crawl on my tippy tippy toes!"
One of Evan's favorite things - crawling around naked after his bath! Naked boy!
Still absolutely loves baths... we probably need to move him out of the baby bath! Please excuse the now-public exposure!
In between outfit changes - in just a bib and a diaper bouncing like crazy in his bouncy seat!
"Wheee.... I'm flying!"
Standing and jumping - it's all he wants to do! Can you tell by Erick's shorts that we were painting that day?
Here's about two months ago... Evan trying to crawl, almost...
Oh, I give up... I'm tired...
Big brother rooting him on... "You can do it!"
The first time I fed Evan a "meat" baby food... beef vegetable... he wasn't so crazy about it, huh? Chicken and turkey have gone over much better!
"This stuff is disgusting... but you can still make me laugh!"
More to come soon... still trying to catch up on my blogging!
