Happy Fall Y'all

Yes!!!! Fall is finally here...I like the colder weather sometimes. It seems I am learning to like it more because it is sooo hot down south. However, running the heat in our house does not do good things to my skin or Evan's...therefor, I dont like fall sometimes. Well I just wanted to share some pictures of our sweet boy...

I love this face!!!

Check out my new hat.

I love my pumpkin shirt mommy made.

A very rare picture...me and mommy.

These days will be missed

Well, I feel like Evan's first year of life is coming to a close...I know I still have a few more months. But time seems to go by soooo fast with a little one. This morning, Evan and I went for our normal morning walk about the neighborhood. As I walked I was thinking about how cold it was and that our morning walks will soon becoming to an end becasue it gets too cold to be out walking. It made me really sad to think about that. It has been something I have really enjoyed each morning...I know Evan likes it too. It always seems to calm him if he is upset or just helps him start his day. It has become apart of his daily routine and something he expects every day. I don't know what I will replace walking with...any suggestion? Walking in the mornings will be something I will remember and cherish from Evan's first year of life. I have enjoyed spending that time with him over the past few months...he has noticed many different things about the outdoors since we began our morning walks. He is just an amazing little guy!

So, in order to remember our times together...I took some pictures....

The Best Place in The World

Last friday, Jason took off work so we decided to take a trip to Destin. I was very excited seeing that was only my second time to go to the beach this summer. Yes, it was only for the day...but it helped my beach withdrawals. We went to the outlet mall and shopped, ate lunch, and went to my favorite place SEASIDE! Love it there! So Evan go to experience sand and ocean for the first time. He wasn't too sure about any of it. However, he hated when the waves came crashing down on his feet. I hope he grows to love it lately because mommy and daddy sure do love the beach.

9 Month Check-Up

So last Thursday we took Evan to the doctor due to some problems we were having with his eye swelling around the outside. I attend a bible study on Wednesday morning and the past two weeks he has rubbed his eye so much it started swelling. Well it really bothered me so I made an appointment with the doctor. Everything turned out fine...we still don't know why he is rubbing his eye because it had gone away by the time we went to the doctor. However, we will see how today goes. I think he may be allergic to something in the room where he stay while I am in bible study.

On another note...Evan had his 9 month check-up while we were there. Here are his stats:
Weight: 22 lbs 5.5oz (75th percentile)
Height: 29 1/4 in. (75th percentile)

Jason and I both think Evan weighs more than that...who knows???? BUT, it looks like my son will be taller than me...he is already half my height. CRAZY!!!
