A little slice of Evan

Potty!

2011-10-13T20:56:00.000-07:00

I am learning to make poops on the potty! I'm a big boy! I will only do it for Mommy, and even then not all the time. Sometimes it happens fast, sometimes I have to sit for awhile and work at it.

We even have a potty outside so when the weather is nice I don't have to come in. I have never done anything but sit on the the outside potty, sometimes for long times. So long I need some snacks!

what? Haven't you ever wanted to eat watermelon while you are sitting on the potty?

Indian Summer

2011-10-11T20:57:00.001-07:00

We had a bunch of really warm weather this fall. I like it, cause then I don't need clothes.

Who's the boss?

2011-10-11T20:47:00.001-07:00

Joo-jee thinks he's big stuff "kebause" he's five and I'm only two. So sometimes I have to show him who's boss. I may be little, but I'm crazy!

Off the top rope!!!!

The flying elbow smash....

Cuddling.

2011-10-11T20:04:00.000-07:00

I like to "nuggle" (snuggle) and cuddle. But only for awhile. Sometimes, when mommy is cuddling me in bed, I cuddle for a little while, then tell her "You go now."

And last night, after daddy cuddle me a little, I said,"I want you cuddle Joo-jee."

I can only take so much cuddling.

You go brush your teeth!

2011-09-13T06:06:00.000-07:00

I don't like bad breath. Whenever mommy or daddy's breath smells a little stinky, I'll say "let me smell your breath." Then I'll lean in and do some serious sniffing with my nose and then say "You go brush your teeth." And I mean it. And when they are done I like to do a post brushing sniff sometimes too, just to check.

2011-08-28T20:42:00.000-07:00

Jo-gee reads books to me. Mostly dinosaur books. That's ok, I like dinosaurs. I know the triceratops, the stegosaurus, and of course, the T-REX.
Sometimes we read about bugs that suck blood, and big spiders and killer bees. All sorts of fun stuff!

swimming

2011-08-25T14:45:00.000-07:00

I like swimming. When we went on vacation, at Granma and Pop pop's, we went to a big lake! A lake is like a great big pool, but with fishies! I liked the water. I liked to just lay back with just my head sticking above the water.
I loved it,and didn't want to get out. But then a fishy bit my nipple! I yelled, "Owie. Fish bite nipple."
I didn't think it was funny. But Daddy seemed to.

I also have these really cool floatie things.

They let me just float in the water, relaxing, riding the waves. I'm not scared of water at all, which daddy said scares him a little. I'll just lay back and float. So relaxing!
And I can kick!!! Hard! I can't wait till I can try and swim for real. I'm still to little. but I practice my kicks!

In the end, all that swimming makes me tired.

camping

2011-08-25T06:29:00.000-07:00

We went camping this spring. Mommy says I went camping before, but I don't remember it. I like camping. We got to play outside. We went hiking.
I like hiking. I jump over roots, and climb on things. Daddy said I did really well for a two year old.

Jo-gee and I played in this big creek that went by. I like to throw things in the water. Sticks. Rocks. My cement mixer. (oops!). Bye-bye cement mixer.

And I got to sleep in a tent. I wasn't scared. I told Daddy he didn't even need to stay with me till I fell asleep. I was comfortable sleeping by myself in the tent! I like sleeping in a tent. We all piled together on one inflatable mattress. It had a leak. Daddy woke up in the middle of the night to blow it up again. We all slept through it all. All except daddy!

Rumor has it that we got a little dirty. I don't know how we got so dirty. Here's Jo-gee and Dylan playing with trucks.

Maybe there was a lot of dirt around.
The best part was, I never had to take a bath!

We also played "woods soccer". I'm pretty good.

I can't wait to go camping again.

Singing!

2011-07-06T13:59:00.000-07:00

I love to sing. Since I don't know all the words to the songs, I just mix them together and make up my own songs. I love Dinosaur train .....

and old McDonald!

I don't know where the "naked boy" came from. Daddy thinks I'm a little weird.
But he's the one who sings "6 foot, eight foot, 9 foot poop! Daylight come and Evan make the poops." to Tally Me Banana. At least I don't sing about poop.

Wednesday Mornings

2011-07-06T13:53:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday mornings, Daddy stays home and Mommy goes to work. That means oatmeal for breakfast!!! And no brushing of the teeth!
I usually get up before Jo-jee, and eat my oatmeal before he gets up.

Mornings can be fun times! Daddy like to get up before me cause he says he needs to be awake and have lots of energy before I get up. I don't know why.
He sure drinks a lot of coffee when he's hanging out with me!

What?

2011-07-05T14:44:00.000-07:00

You act like you've never seen a burly construction guy with his shirt off before! These piles of sand won't move themselves. Somebody's got to do it.

Swinging.

2011-06-17T07:59:00.000-07:00

Spring is here, and it's time to swing!!!!
I enjoy swinging. I like to lay on the swing on my belly and push off. Mommy's worried that I'll hit the tree. Daddy says that's how I learn. Daddy's pretty cynical, isn't he.

Coloring

2011-06-17T07:53:00.000-07:00

I like to color. I'm supposed to color only on paper, but I sometimes forget, so now I'm not allowed to have crayons unless Mommy or Daddy are there to watch. I think the floor looks better with my purple stripes, but Mommy doesn't think so.
Jo-Jee and I color really well together.

Bowling.

2011-06-16T15:53:00.000-07:00

We went bowling! It was our friend Dylan's birthday party. I got to bowl too! The balls are REALLY heavy, and the pinch your fingers sometimes when they come out of that thing. It was fun!!! I didn't want to stop! Jo-Jee and I were the last one's bowling. We bowled until the lady behind the counter came out and told us we had to "wrap it up". I don''t know how we'd get wrapping paper around a ball anyway.

Easter

2011-06-08T06:40:00.000-07:00

So Daddy's a little late updating my page. I can't wait until I learn to type so I don't have to wait for him!
While granma and granpa were here we had something called "Easter". I don't understand it at all.
All I know is we painted eggs. I'm not sure why, but it was fun!

Granma helped me. For some reason she thought I would make a mess if I did it myself.

Do I look like the type that would make a mess?

What this is?

2011-05-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

Those are the words you will hear most from me. "what this is" as I hold something up, or point to something.
I also ask "why" alot now. A LOT!.
And if you ask me why, I will say "cebause".
I am talking a lot more. especially when Jo-jee's not around to do all my talking for me.

Carousel

2011-05-12T06:42:00.000-07:00

After skiing at Eldora, Momma and Daddy take us to this thing where they have all sorts of animals that go around in a big circle. Some even go up an down. Jo-jee and our friend Dylan love it. I'm not always so sure. I like it, but it freaks me out a little, too.

Bed

2011-05-01T20:25:00.001-07:00

Jo-jee and I sleep in the same bed now. He used to sleep at the other end, but now he sleeps beside me! We "nuggle" sometimes. We like sleeping beside each other. Mommy always tells me to not wake Jo-jee up when I get up in the morning(I wake up first), but I always "forget" and wake Jo-gee up too. I don't like to do anything without my big brother!
Even when I do get up quietly, I always slam the door shut. It's important to make sure it is really, really closed.
I think Jo-jee likes sleeping with me. The other day, after I got up, he started crying. When Daddy came in and asked him why, he said it was because he "wanted to snuggle Evan."

Bicycle

2011-05-01T20:23:00.000-07:00

I can ride a bicycle! Jo-jee let's me us his old bike, now that he has TWO big boy bikes. I ride a "baby bike". It doesn't have any pedals. I'm pretty careful when I ride. I've gotten better, but this was my first try.

I always wanted to ride it around the block, but Daddy said we don't have all week. I don't know what he means by that.

Jumping!

2011-03-21T20:37:00.001-07:00

There is one thing that I REALLY like to do. Can you guess what it is?

The joy of jumping ....

Talking and other stuff!

2011-03-15T06:35:00.000-07:00

I am really trying to talk like a big people now. I don't always know all the words, but I get my message across. Like when I got a new toy, on the way home, in the car, I said, "Mommy ... show... home?" And Daddy said, "yes, you can show mommy when you get home."
I use the letter "t" instead of the letter "c"t in front of words. So I say "tookie" for cookie, and "tar" for car.
And when I want someone to pick me up I say "holdja?" because Daddy would always ask, "Do you want me to holdja?" Or I say "pick up?" I say that a lot. especially in the mornings with Daddy. He's all mine in the mornings.
I also like to sing before bed. We used to sing ABC but now I like to sing Ol McDonald. Sometimes, after Jo-gee goes to sleep, I start singing on my own. A-B-C as loud as I can. Daddy always comes in and tells me it is time for sleep. I thought he liked music? I sleep in the same bed as Jo-gee now. He's at one end, I'm at the other.
Jo-gee and I play really nice now. For the most part. Sometimes I don't realize that I really wanted a toy until he's picked it up. Then I scream and cry. Because I'm two! And sometimes, I have to clock him. He hits me too! Sometimes I clock him for no reason what so ever. It's just to remind him who's boss. The other day I clocked him in the face with my metal airplane for no reason what-so-ever. After I sat in the corner for awhile, Daddy asked me if I wanted him to hurt me. I said no. He then asked if I wanted to hurt Jo-gee. I said yes. Just to make sure I understood what he was asking, he went through the whole thing again. I made it clear that I did, indeed, want to hurt Jo-gee.

I've got to learn to lie better.

Snow Geese.

2011-02-18T08:50:00.000-08:00

The other day, when Daddy tooted, I said, "sno goose flying?" He started laughing. I don't know why, since every time he toots he says "snow goose flying south for the winter." I don't know what a snow goose is, but they must be stinky.

Birthdays part 2

2011-02-14T09:01:00.000-08:00

I had another birthday party at our house! Daddy made a cake from scratch. It had blueberries and almonds and tasted really good even though it looked like somebody sat on it.
We had some friends over and had pizza! I get a special pizza with no tomatoes. It still tastes pretty good!

The best part was I got LOTS of playdough! I LOVE play dough. I played for an hour with it, even after everyone else got bored. Then I had to go to bed, or else I would have kept playing.

birfday

2011-02-08T09:42:00.000-08:00

I am now two! If you ask me, I will tell you! Unless you are a cute, four year old girl. Then I'll tell you that I'm three, cause it sounds more mature. I may be little, but I'm not stupid.

We celebrated my birthday twice! First in Michigan over Christmas. I got cupcakes!!!
I like the frosting a lot!
When no one was looking, I may have sneaked a second cupcake.

I LIKE birthdays.

I got a rocket ship. I like rockets. I say "one-two-thfree-four- blatoff!" and make really great rocket noises!

Sleeping

2010-12-02T20:10:00.000-08:00

I got to sleep in Joe-jee's bed! Mommy let me sleep in his bed two nights in a row. I liked it, even though Joe-jee would kick me if my feet touched his. He's that way sometimes. And then, in the morning, around 5:30 or so, I would wake up and then move over to Jo-jee's side and snuggle with him. He didn't like it and would get up and go into Mommy and Daddy's room to complain.

Daddy said I have to sleep in my own bed again.

Pae- do?

2010-12-01T21:01:00.000-08:00

I love playdough! I'm not allowed to use the stuff from the store, because I sometimes eat it. So daddy makes me my own. He makes it the same way he makes cookies, at least it looks like that to me, but I'm still not allowed to eat it! Why? (He doesn't know it, but sometimes I still nibble on a little!)Daddy made me some one night when Mommy wasn't home (we do all the messy things when she's not home. I don't know why.) Jo-jee played for a while, but he doesn't appreciate play dough like me. I played for an hour. I would have kept playing, but I tried to watch Jo-jee play with trucks at the same time, and fell of the chair!

When mommy came home and asked me what I did while she was gone, I said, "Pae-do. Fall!" Pretty much sums up the evening!

More cooking with Evan!

2010-11-30T20:13:00.000-08:00

Jo-gee and I like to cook! Jo-gee is the idea man, I'm more of a hand's on kind of guy.

Ridin' high!

2010-11-10T20:03:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I just have to show Jo-Gee who's boss!

Cooking with Evan

2010-11-08T06:55:00.000-08:00

Jo-gee and I are going to have our own cooking show some day!

Halloween

2010-11-05T06:24:00.000-07:00

So, I don't get this Halloween thing. We go to places and pick out these big, heavy orange things that I'm not allowed to bring into the house. They just sit on the front porch. What's the point?
We went with Grandma and Pa-Pa to another place where they had more big orange things, and we didn't get to pick out any!
But they did have a pony ride. I got really mad when I had to get off the pony. And I let everyone within thirty feet know my displeasure. We got to go on this little train, where we had to wait our turn. When they closed the gate right in front of us after we had waited like three times, I started screaming "my turn! my turn!". It didn't help. They still didn't let us go until the train came back.

Poops and Toots!

2010-11-02T14:42:00.000-07:00

I like to toot! I sometimes make really loud ones. Mommy asks me if I pooped and I shake my head and say "Toot!" then smile, cause I think it's funny.

Sometimes I did poop, though. That's not as funny.

I do like the book I call "poop". Mommy says it is called "Diapers aren't Forever", but I call it "poop" when I want her to read it to me.

I also like go and sit down on a stool by the toilet when Jo-Jee makes poops. Daddy thinks I'm weird.

Pa pa

2010-11-01T06:39:00.000-07:00

Pa Pa came out to visit. Daddy made him work all day, every day, in the basement. But when he got to take breaks, he played with us. I liked to follow him around, saying "Pa Pa. Pa Pa" over and over till he played with me. He let me jump over him.

He colored with us

And helped me draw. Mommy and Daddy don't let me stamp myself with ink. But Pa Pa did! It was lost of fun. I wish Pa Pa lived closer so he could come over and play every day.

Words!

2010-10-27T19:56:00.001-07:00

I can say lots of things now. I say peese and Nank you. I say "wow" and "oh no!" and of course Doggie and Joe-Jee (Joseph) and moo(milk) and dwk (truck). I say some words backwards like pich (chip) and uush (shoe) and peesh (sheep). I also say boot, and up, and em-ee(empty), and of course, my favorite.
"No".
I say that a lot.

Trouble

2010-10-27T19:51:00.000-07:00

I know you may find this hard to believe, but I don't always behave. Shocking, but true! Sometimes Daddy tells me not to do things, but I do them anyway. And you should see Momma's face when I throw food from my high chair. It's worth getting in trouble for! Now I'm old enough for "Time out". That means I have to stand in the corner. I don't like it.
Don't I look sorry, Mommy? Can I get out now?

Joe-Jee

2010-09-30T14:33:00.000-07:00

Joe-Jee and I play together a lot more now. I don't always understand what in the devil he's doing, but I love to do it too!

2010-09-29T19:08:00.000-07:00

I take our stuffed dinosaur and stick it's mouth on Daddy and then growl. He didn't know what I was trying to do, so I said "Eat! Eat" Then he knew, that the dinosaur was eating him!

I'm silly like that!

Joseph goes to school

2010-09-29T19:06:00.000-07:00

My big brother, Joe-Jee, now goes to school. Every time Daddy and I walk by, I point and say "kwule?" and daddy says, "Yes, that the school." and then "Joe-Jee?" and daddy says "Yes, that's joseph's school." Everytime we go by.
Every time.

Beach

2010-09-13T06:58:00.001-07:00

We went to the "beach" this summer. I didn't like it. Not one bit. It was like a giant sandbox, but the sand was hot. And there was this water, with big, scary waves. I didn't like the water.
After a few minutes, I was ready to get out of there. Even if no one came with me.

But they wouldn't let me go! The shame of it.

Daddy Mornings

2010-09-10T20:41:00.001-07:00

Because I'm older, sometimes I sleep in. Occasionally til 8 or 8:30. But not Wednesday! Wednesday is Daddy day. And the garbage truck comes at 7. We can't miss that!

Every Wednesday morning, we have oatmeal. It's a good thing I like oatmeal. I even run to my chair, saying"o-me" which is close enough to oatmeal, right?

Now that I"m bigger, I sometimes get to sit on the booster seat.

books

2010-08-02T20:23:00.001-07:00

My brother is trying to teach me to enjoy books the way he does. I like to sit beside him and read. At least for a minute....

He even reads to me sometimes. It sure seems like the story is different from when Mommy and Daddy read to me.

I like "Freight Train" and "Airplanes" and "Goodnight Gorilla". Trucks, airplanes, and gorillas. That's what all books should be about!

Walks

2010-08-02T20:17:00.000-07:00

I love to go for walks. If you ask me if I want to go for a walk, I run to the closet and grab my shoes, which I call "ooshh," and the follow you around saying it over and over again until you put them on me. I just love to be outside!

When we start to head home, I get very angry and sometimes yell. I yell sometimes when I'm angry. A lot.

We even went for a walk this spring in the rain, and I loved it!

I like to walk, too. None of this carrying stuff. I can do it myself! I do get distracted though ......

Granma and granpa

2010-05-19T19:53:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa came out to visit. Grandma likes to push me on my bike, so I let her. I know how much she likes it, so sometimes I act like I'm angry if she stops, or even slows down too much.

Sometimes they like to just sit and watch me play in the sandbox.

Can you blame them?

Food!

2010-05-18T11:52:00.000-07:00

I can now feed myself. And I like to eat!! I love bread with almond butter, but I'll eat anything. Well, almost anything. I don't like tomoatoes. See, I can use a fork! when do I get to drink from a big boy glass?

Growing

2010-05-18T11:33:00.001-07:00

I'm getting bigger every day. And sillier too! I now stand on top of things and say "dee- ta!" (my parents are wierd, the taught me that instead of ta-da). I walk around like I own the place. I will try and run if you say 1-2-3-go! I'm a bundle of busy enery.

I'm usually happy (although I'm getting 4 molars at once right now, so sometimes I'm a little crabby).

I nod my entire head for yes now, and will nod or shake my head if you ask me if I have a poopy diaper. And I know the baby sign language for "more" which I use for food, or if I want you to keep reading to me. And "up" means pick me up or get me out of the high chair, or even "here, hold this for me."

I don't need any more words. Mommy and Daddy know what I'm saying.

New Slide!

2010-05-18T11:28:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody!

It is finally getting warm out! We get to play outside a lot. We got a new slide. I still love to play on the old one,

but the new one is big enough for both joseph and I to play on. I like to push him off!

Outside

2010-04-13T06:47:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody!

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I love to look out the window. I get all excited when I see a doggy, and yell and squeal. I call doggies "uroof" like the sound they make. I also get excited whenever I hear an airplane, even if we are in the house, and yell and ask Daddy where it is. Daddy better upload some new pictures on the the compueter. these are all from February and early March!

Walking

2010-04-13T06:41:00.000-07:00

For those keeping score at home, as of the beginning of April, I pretty much walk everywhere now. I'm getting pretty good. My fast walk is getting close to almost a run (but I fall down a LOT when I do that).

2010-04-01T10:59:00.000-07:00

Is there anything in here? Beer! Just kidding, Momma.

Bike Rides

2010-04-01T10:52:00.000-07:00

We go for walks with Daddy where Joseph and I both ride a bike. Joseph has a big boy bike, and I ride on a little one. I love it. Daddy pushes me around, and we go around the block. I can't reach the peddles, but hold on to the handle bars. IfDaddy stops anywhere for too long, I yell. I've got no time for dilly-dallying.

Birthday

2010-03-15T20:49:00.000-07:00

So, I had a birthday in January. I have no idea what this means. People came to the house and Momma made me wear this funny hat.

Can't say that I liked the hat.

I did like the piggy that I got though!

And the moose got a big kiss!

It was fun enough I decided to make my own birthday hat!

So now I am officially one year old. I don't feel older. And Daddy still won't let me play with the remote.

2010-03-15T20:44:00.001-07:00

I'm growing like a weed. Here are some pictures from this winter. ..

My Brother

2010-03-15T20:34:00.000-07:00

I love my brother. We are starting to play more together. I still like to take his toys, and he still grabs things from me too. Daddy says that will only last eighteen more years.
We wrestle sometimes now. Mostly I like it.

And we always take baths together now. It is a lot of fun, as long as Joseph shares the purple, plastic cup.
Mommy says Joseph has Daddy's bootie, which means none. And that I have hers. You be the judge.

I make Joseph laugh sometimes. Even when I'm not trying to.

I'm not sure whether he was laughing with me or at me. But I got the last laugh.

Sometimes, when we both wrestle with Daddy and Joseph is laying on the ground, I will step on his head on purpose and laugh, and then do it again. I think that that is what brothers do, right?

Christmas PArt 3

2010-03-15T20:12:00.000-07:00

We had to get back in the car and drive a long time again. UGgh!!! I slept some. I cried some. So did Daddy.

This time we went to my Grandma and Grandpa's house. They celebrated my birthday early. I don't know what that means, but I got a cupcake for the first time. I LIKED it!

Then they did this thing where they put a little book called a "Bible" in front of me, some shiny circle called a coin, and a little glass called a "shot glass". Grandpa said they wanted to see what my future held in store, which path I would take. I liked the little shiny glass. Momma groaned.

Daddy said, "well, he's definately your son." I don't know what that means.

Christmas Part 2

2010-03-15T20:04:00.000-07:00

After Auntie Sue's house, we had to sit still for a long time again, this time in a car. Joseph watched some videos, but I'm not so into that. I wanted to get out of my car seat and crawl around. I mentioned it a few times to Mommy and Daddy, but they didn't let me out. So I mentioned it again, louder this time. And then louder. Daddy always gets this far away look in his eyes when I do that, like he's no longer in the car but somewhere far, far away. So I try and yell a little louder to bring him back!

We went to another house. This one had Grandma and Pop Pop and a doggy. I love doggies!

Poppop would feed me. I like to eat, but I'm always willing to share.
They also had this really fun thing to play with sticking out of the wall. It made great noises!

There was lots of cousins and lots of things I'm not allowed to touch. MY favorite thing was to crawl from a little chair over the arm of a big chair, then get down and do it all again. I could do that for hours. And I did.

Christmas

2010-03-15T12:28:00.000-07:00

We left our house for a long time. Something called Christmas. I don't know what it is, but I had to sit on Mommy and Daddy's laps for a long time in something called an airplane. I'm not very good at sitting still. Daddy would get up and walk me around, but I still wasn't very happy about it.
We went to a house with lots of fun boys to play with. They are called cousins. I don't know what that means, but we certainly had fun!
Then we ripped pretty colored paper off of toys. I like the paper.

The best part of Christmas was learning to shake my head "no". That way, whenever Auntie Sue asked me if I wanted her to hold me, I could say "no". I just did it to devil her, she knows that I love her.

Yes and No

2010-01-13T16:01:00.000-08:00

Over Christmas I learned to shake my head "no". And I just learned how to say yes. I kind of nod at the waist while bobbing my head. It may not be perfect, but Momma and Dadda know what I mean.

I am getting very talkative, and love to scream at the top of my lungs, just to hear myself, sometimes. Daddy gets a funny look when I do that.

I also am starting to stack blocks on each other. I'm getting pretty good. I can get three blocks high before it falls over.

I also love to grab whatever my brother is playing with and try to crawl away as fast as I can. Joseph is too fast and big, he always catches me and takes it. But just give me another year or so....

Halloween

2009-12-16T18:07:00.001-08:00

I have no idea what's going on. Mommy puts me in these strange PJ's and says I'm "batman", Joseph dresses funny and runs around, and we are surrounded by giant orange balls. What's going on?

This is a weird holiday.

Momma

2009-12-16T17:59:00.000-08:00

I try to help Momma clean up! Our house gets messy (I am not sure why, but Momma says it is due to Hurricane Evan. I don't know what a hurricane is, but it sure makes a mess.), but I try and do my bit. (Daddy's note, this vidoe is from October).

Daddy is way behind on my postings ....

2009-10-25T08:55:00.001-07:00

but it's all good!

My brother

2009-10-25T08:53:00.000-07:00

I LOVE my big brother. But he does drive me crazy sometimes.

(Daddy's note: Thes pictures are from this summer. I'm trying to catch up!)

Grandma and Pop Pop

2009-10-25T08:52:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Daddy dissapeared for a few days, but it was ok. Grandma spoiled me. She let me sleep on her all night to keep me from crying. Grandma's are like that. She looked tired after that. But she still smiled.

2009-10-25T08:50:00.000-07:00

Howdy folks!

I had a busy summer. So much to do. I'm a happy, busy little guy.

Big changes

2009-08-13T06:49:00.000-07:00

So since I turned six months old I decided I was tired of being a baby. I learned to crawl while on vacation, but that was boring, so a few days later decided I was goint to start pulling myself up and standing. Maybe even free standing occasionally, cause I'm a dare devil.

Well, two days ago I decided I could crawl down the steps. That didn't work out so well, but luckily Dadda was ready and grabbed my shirt as I took the first step (head first!).

If he won't let me go down, I'll go up! Yesterday I crawled up the steps by my self. Dadda and Momma say that they aren't ready for that, and that they are going to start tying me to a chair. Is that allowed?

hi

2009-08-13T06:26:00.000-07:00

I've been very busy this summer. Mostly eating, sleeping, and pooping. But we did go to some house other than our own. We stayed there with these new people I hadn't seen before. Momma says they are my "cousins".

Everyone liked to hold me....

And play with me, and my Auntie Sue liked to feed me every morning. I LIKE to eat!

I have a LOT of cousins!

Daddda finally arrived, and then Momma strapped me into a car seat for what seemed like days, and we went to another house with "cousins".

That's where I learned to crawl,

I also learned to dance!

And people still liked to hold me!

Food.

2009-06-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

Well, I've now had bananas and sweet potatoes. I like bananas. I do NOT like sweet potatoes. I repeat, I do NOT like sweet potatoes, and I don't care how long you hold the spoon out, I'm not opening my mouth!

Crawling

2009-06-26T15:15:00.000-07:00

I'm getting close. I just started going up on my hands and knees a few days ago, and now I rock back and forth. Pretty soon. Then watch out world! Plus, Now I can finally get to that big fire truck that Joseph keeps rolling out of my reach!

Rice Cereal

2009-06-26T15:02:00.000-07:00

I now get rice cereal twice a day. I like it! I lik to help Mommy and Daddy by grabbing their hand and holding the spoon in my mouth.

I just LOVE to eat. I wonder if that is why my thighs are so chunky. Daddy says that knees don't normally have fat rolls.

Smiles

2009-06-11T07:14:00.001-07:00

Hi there everybody. I'm still happy. I still keep Mommy and Daddy up, but it doesn't bother me!

Bath time.

2009-06-10T15:45:00.000-07:00

Usually Mommy washes me in the sink. Daddy holds me while mommy washes me, then mommy holds me and washes my hair. She then lays me on the changing table, where I usually then pee on myself. One time, I pooed on myself after my bath so Mommy washed me again. I then pooed a little more, then peed on Daddy. Now you know why we are late whenever we are trying to go somewhere!

A few weeks ago I got to take a bath with Joseph. It was fun! He wouldn't let me play with his boat though!

My favorite things!

2009-06-09T21:00:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite things to do is to cause Daddy pain! He puts me up on his shoulders and I pull his hair and laugh until his eyes water, or he lies on the floor and I sit on his neck and gouge his eyes and laugh. I'm not sure he enjoys it as much as I do!

update

2009-06-09T20:50:00.000-07:00

Well, Daddy finally stopped being so lazy and is finally helping update my blog. I would do it myself but Dady says that I drool too much to go near the computer. I drool a lot! Mommy makes me wear a bib all day just to try and soak up some of the drool!

So I can now roll around, trying to get where I want to go. I like to lay by my brother and try and grab whatever he is playing with. I don't think he likes it, especially when I knock his tower of blocks down. He had better get used to it!

I've started waking up a lot at night. Mommy tried rice cereal, but all it did was give me gas, I still woke up three or four times a night. So no more rice cereal! Mommy and Daddy both look really tired in the morning. I'm not, I like to play and talk and poop!

Hi again

2009-06-05T06:54:00.000-07:00

I will update my blog soon with some more pictures. I'm 4 months old now so there has been some big changes. I grab things, I've tried rice cereal (I LIKE it!), I can flip on my belly like a pro but still struggle to get back on my back, and I am trying to talk.
Some things don't change. I still make big blow-out poos! And I like to eat! Especially at night. Twice a night, plus maybe a wake up once just for fun without any eating. I don't know why Mommy looks so tired all the time.

Hello everybody!

2009-04-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

This is my first blog entry. I'm a little nervous.

I'm new here, and by "here", I mean the world. I am three months old. I like to eat, sleep, and be carried around. Mommy calls me her sweet little baby. Daddy calls me "Poop-meister". My big brother calls me "little Evan."
