Growing Up Fast!

Evan is almost four months old and has changed so much in such a short period of time. He's a really happy baby, even when he's sick it's rare for him not to be smiling and squealing.

He went on his first trip to the park. We met his Grandma Z. and cousin Landon there. He loves being outside!

Evan's Aunt Margaret and Uncle Mike got to meet him for the first time too! He loved all the attention!

Here he was a little more interested in trying to find a way to chew on Aunt Margaret's finger.

Hurricane Evan

Hurricane Ike blew into town on the 14th and knocked out our power for five days. It was Evan's Grandma's birthday, so we had to postpone her celebration and rely on Hurricane Evan for entertainment. He provided, of course. He's so close to rolling over and we keep the camera ready just in case. Here's some video footage of him, almost there!

Evan went to his first bluegrass festival a few weeks ago too. Here's a pic with his Grandma Z., in his snazzy sun hat.

I love this photo with his Grandpa Z. He's such a happy baby!

Feeling Better and More "Firsts"

Evan has recovered from his bout with bronchialitis (a fancy name for what seemed like a cold), and is smiling and screaming again. He's also decided sleeping through the night is for sissies. He might miss a big party, right?! [Sigh] I've gotten very good at sleeping upright, and Dan is a master at finding a pacifier with his eyes closed. He's such a happy baby though. We heard his first laugh yesterday, and that made a hundred sleepless nights worthwhile.

Three Months Old, His First Cold and Long Distance Fans

Evan turned three months old yesterday! He's quite the vocal baby now and when he's happy he'll scream at high pitches to let you know it. Unfortunately, just in time for his big day, he also got his first cold. We had to get pictures between sniffle fits. . .

Only a half smile today!

Evan's Auntie Alicia came to visit him for the long weekend and wins the award for traveling the farthest distance to see him. All the way from Colorado!
