Evan eating carrots.

Evan has eaten cereal...not a fan. He has eaten peas....not a fan. Now he has eaten carrots and he deosn't look like he is a fan but he is more interested in the carrots than the other solids we have tried. I'm sure after he practices he will get good at eating.




By the way...Evan was weighed on Tuesday and he was 12lbs. 14 ounces. and 23 inches long.

I am thankful for our little Evan...thankful that he is growing and he is such a happy baby.

First Solid Food-June 15th

I thought I would see how he would do. He doesn't get too excited about it out so we'll try again in a few weeks. He loved the spoon though.

Sweet baby laughs

*Pause music at bottom of blog and then return to today's post to hear baby laughs.

Evan does a belly laugh but I haven't captured it on video yet.

These baby laughs are so sweet.

I'm thankful for

baby laughs and baby smiles.

Something random and silly

For those of you that grew up in the 80's do you remember Monchichi dolls? I thought I would do something random and silly since I did mention that Evan looks like a monchichi with his thumb in his mouth back at one of my weekly winners posts.

Sorry-you will have to go to the bottom of the blog and pause the music player before you reminisce about your childhood.

I certainly learned more than I ever wanted to know about these dolls from the wikipedia link. I remember the commercials and the song...I had a (wanna-be) monchichi. It was a knock off from the real thing. Never watched the cartoon...didn't know there was one. Apparently monchichi is still going strong in Japan.

Tuesday

Ryan hangin' out with his buddy.

Evan having a lazy day at poolside

*To those who are worried that Evan was exposed to the sun...I didn't actually have him sit by the pool under the sun. He was in the shade, under an umbrella in the morning on a cloudy day. I put him by the pool before I took him in for his nap.

Growing so BIG!

about 9.5 lbs

Can you even believe that this was Evan 5 months ago and 7 lbs lighter?

not even 2 lbs here

7. I am so very grateful that Evan is healthy and growing.

8. I am so very grateful for 8 years with Chad. It was our anniversary yesterday.

Thumbsucker

Ryan and Jack were paci babies and Evan is a thumbsucker. It is so cute b/c he rubs his nose with his index finger.

Almost a laugh turns into hiccups
