This is sometimes how my days go...give and take some things. Evan does not always sleep as long as he did today (wish he did). However, there are many other things that I would have liked to get done today...maybe I will complete them tomorrow before my bestie comes!

Only 4 Months Left

Really??? Are you kidding me? I CANNOT believe Evan is 8 MONTHS OLD. Boy does time go by so fast. So many people told me that the first year of Evan's life will go by so fast...but I didn't believe them. I was so wrong because I can't wrap my finger around the fact that he will be ONE in four months. WOW!!!!

What is our little man up too???

• He has two bottom teeth
• Still trying to figure out this crawling thing
• Can pull up to standing postion with little help
• LOVES fruit (He would only eat fruit if you let him)
• Reaches to be picked up
• LOVES the outside
• Can be very independent but also wants to be dependent
• Loves playing in the water
• Hates getting lotion put on him
• Still learning to drink from a cup
• Loves to feel of different things
• Loves playing peek-a-boo
• Loves hearing mommy and daddy making different noises
• Laughs and smiles LOTS!
• Likes to watch people brush their teeth and dry their hair
• Loves playing with peoples shoes
• He dances to some music
• Is not currently sleeping through the night
• He LOVES his paci and monkey blanket

Evan is such a sweet child and a joy to be around. Jason and I could not have asked for a bigger blessing. He lights up our days. I told Jason the other day that Evan's worst day's were not that bad. He is such a GREAT baby! I never thought I could love as much as I love our little man. I cannot fathom how big and great our God is to create such a perfect little human to complete our current family. I am so excited to see what God has in store for our son in the days and years to come!

We love you Evan and pray that you may come to know the Lord at a young age and that you will seek and follow hard after him. You are such a blessing in our lives!

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!!!
