Out with the OLD in with the NEW.

So this week we experienced a few new things!!!

First, Evan has started wearing 12 months clothes because he is so tall. I never thought before be was born that he would be wearing 12 months clothes at 7 months. I have posted a picture below of him wearing one of his new outfits!!!

Second, Evan got to "play" in the rain today. We started out on our morning walk and did not even get half way around the neighborhood and its starts sprinkling...the it gets harder and harder. I ended up having to run back to the house. Evan just giggled the whole way home. It was funny...we both got pretty wet. See picture below.

Third, Evan is trying to crawl...see picture below of his attempt. He still has a long way to go, but he tries sooo hard.

Lastly, the thing I am most excited about!!! Evan drank half a cup of juice tonight!!!! Yay!!!! I have been working with him on drinking out of his cup and he has now got the hang of it. I am sooo excited!!!

Evan turned 7 months old yesterday!!!! Thats so hard for me to believe! He is a joy and blessing to be around. He make Jason and I laugh all the time. Just recently he has become more active...rolling over and trying to crawl. He can now sit own his own!!!

Evan started eating meat last night and he did really well with it!!! I am now working with him to drink milk of a cup...we'll see!!!

We are still Alive.

I know I have so neglected this blog this month...sorry my few readers that I do have. However, It has been a very busy month! We have seemed to stay on the go more!

Evan of course had his six month check-up...He is still in the 95th precentile for height and weight! Yay Evan!!!

Evan is now eating cereal in the morning and vegetables and fruit twice daily. He is doing great with it! Of course if you can't already tell...He LOVES food!!!

I have also started feeding Evan puffs...He loves them and gets so excited when you put them on his high chair!

This month, Evan has really started sitting up better, has much better hand control with holding objects, he has learned how to enjoy his jumparoo, has started enjoying his bath time, smiles and laughs so much more and has really started babbling TONS!!!

Just this week, Evan has starting sipping from his cup instead of chewing and has learned to roll both ways. I really never thought either of these would happen any time soon...but I am sooo thankful he has learned these two things!

More post to come!

Happy 4th of July!

Okay, thats just a few things he likes these days. I have enjoyed staying at home with him and watching as he grows. His laugh lights up my face and always makes me smile...even when we are not having a good day. He is such a joy and blessing! Jason and I are excited about watching him grow and accomplish many more milstones this year!

He is doing so awesome sleeping in his own bed...We now have a set bedtime at 8pm which has been a blessing for Jason and I. We have been able to have some time together before bed. Evan still wakes up in the middle of the night but always goes back to sleep. He is waking at 6:30 every morning to eat and then will go back to sleep at 8 for two hours. He other naps during the day are not as long...but he is doing well with them.

He has now completed all the 1st foods and we are starting 2nd foods tonight. Maybe this will help him sleep better. He is eating cereal in the morning still with a small serving of fruit. He will start eating his fruit after his mid-afternoon feeding and then cereal and vegetable again at night.

Things are going great and things get better and better every day!
