Evan = Chatterbox!

Here is a list of words that Evan loves to say...

Dada
Daddy
Mom
Mama
Dog
Doggie
Star (our dog)
Papa

There are more, but those are the ones he says all the time. :)

(For the record, Mama, was Evan's first word!!!) :-D

Soon he'll be running!

Evan started taking a few steps here and there, before he turned one. Now he takes a lot of them, but he's not 100% walking. Here is a little clip of him walking. There were other clips, but Earl and I hate how we sound on video...so we figured this clip is best, even though Evan is kind of doing an intoxicated man walk. :-D

Swim, Swim!

Evan started Water Babies class on April 19 (the day of his party). It's a 4 week class, that meets for 30 minutes on Saturdays. It is intended to get babies familiar with water and teach parents safety stuff. It was pretty fun (for us both, I think...) I get the pleasure of taking him into the water (only because Earl refuses to...). Evan seemed to like it, so I hope he likes it again tomorrow. I think he will get his face underwater tomorrow. I hope he doesn't screammmm! So, here are some pics from his first day. Please pretend you don't see me. :-/

Evan wasn't...

Evan wasn't the only one who got gifts for his birthday!

Earl and I went to the mall today, with Evan. Earl took me into one of my favorite stores, Coach, and let me pick out a handbag. This is my early Mother's Day present. I picked out this satchel bag...


AND this swingpack...which is going to come to Mexico with us next month. :)


(Thank you sweetie. I love you!)

Earl also got a surprise from his dad. A 2000 Chevy Camaro Z-28! Here is Earl and his new found love...

Here he is, washing it. He wouldn't let me show a pic of him in his board shorts. :-P

My car, unfortunately, has been demoted to the driveway. No more garage for me, until we get a house with a 2-car garage. Boo!

Happy Birthday Evan!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear EVAN,
Happy Birthday to YOU!

I can't believe Evan is already 1. This entire year has just FLOWN by! Evan's party was a lot of fun. We had about 35 people over for his party. Evan did great. He didn't cry with all the people around. I was impressed. :) The cake, from Cakes by Combs, was so TASTY and looked awesome! Here are some pics...






Happy Birthday Evan! We love you!

THREE

Three, yes three. That is the # of teeth Evan is cutting right now! He has been extra fussy and has a few gallons of drool p/day. He should have all 8 Incisors in a few days. I tried to get a picture, but I was unsuccessful. I'll wait until they all pop and then I'll post a pic. :)

Evan's 1 year pics!

Must. Click. HERE!

Busy, busy, busy!

Busy.

That is one word that can sum up our lives right now. Spring semester is almost over. Then I have a few weeks off and then summer school (3 classes). The good thing, is that Earl and I are going to Puerto Vallarta (it's in Mexico, if ya didn't know) before school starts. We are both SO excited. It's going to be a much needed, all-inclusive getaway. Here is our hotel...

Dream's Puerto Vallarta

Yep, looks beautiful! I got this picture from Dreams' web site. To me it looks like a painting, so I'm sure it isn't a real photo...

Anyway, Evan's birthday party is this weekend. We are excited about it too. It's going to be family and us! I can't wait. We got a TON of stuff for the party. The goody bags are so cute too. I'll post pics after it is done.

TEETH!
Evan is cutting more teeth! He got his 5th one (that I posted below) over a week ago and now he has THREE coming in. Yep, all at once. He isn't a happy camper. I can't wait for them to cut, so he can be the happy boy that he usually is.

PICTURES!
Evan's 1 yr. pictures are tomorrow. I am SO excited. We have 3 outfits, but I think we'll just stick him in 2 (basically just changing his shirt). I'll post pics when I can, but of course you can always stalk Josh's web site.

We have another toofer!!!

Earl and I were laying in bed with Evan this morning and I noticed it. Evan's 5th tooth! Here it is...
This explains the runny nose and extra drool! I can't believe he has 5 teeth already. I don't know what the norm is, but 5 seems awesome to me.
