Today was a very, very big day. Today was Evan's first taste of "solids", baby rice cereal!!

As you can see it didn't all make it in his mouth.

Though this picture would appear he doesn't like it, he really did.
He wanted to help almost every time. And when I didn't get the food quick enough he would reach out for it.

He even wanted to help at the end by cleaning his mouth off.
It was a very successful day.

We had a big weekend. Evan got to visit two sets of grandparents, and had fun with all. Exploring with Grandpa Dennis...

...and Grandma Martha. He always gets lots of kisses.

Fun with Grandpa Mark, and you'll notice he is dressed like him too, as a little fire chief...

...and Grandma Pam.
He even has fun on his own. He has now discovered a new toy, his feet!

Chris was trying to take some up close pictures of Evan. As you can see, he got quite close. Evan was fascinated in the camera lens cover.

Evan made a new friend in Tak.

Evan fell asleep after I fed him one evening, and this was the result. I tried to move him, but he just slept on the boppy.

Shannon and Kelly came to visit Evan when they were in town. I think they like him.
He likes his excersaucer. His feet don't fully touch, but he loves playing in it.

Alright, I was hanging out with some old friends tonight and they were giving me a hard time about updating the blog. So here you go girls. Pictures from the last few months. I hope you enjoy them and I'll try to keep updating this more often, so everyone can see new pictures of the cutest baby in the world.


With Great-Grandma Barbara. I think they like each other.



This was Evan's first trip to the zoo. We stopped to feed him near one of the monkey exhibits and I think he may have been watching the monkey swing.



You don't get much cuter than this. Both my boys with their million dollar smiles.


The below pictures show the big variety in weather we were having back in April. One day it was very cold and snowy, but then a few days earlier it was warm enough for short sleeves.




Getting ready to tip his hat.

He's not quite sure what to think of the hat here.
