Merry Christmas!

After putting up all the decorations for Christmas, Evan quickly singled out the mistletoe as his favorite. (Little girls beware). Every time we pass through the doorway, he squeals with delight. So here's a little sample of Evan with the mistletoe to put you in the holiday spirit. Merry Christmas!

Evan met Santa on Christmas Eve and wished him well before his big trip!

Getting Ready for Santa

Evan has had no shortage of cute Christmas outfits thanks to his adoring fans, especially his Auntie Alicia who apparently has stock in Old Navy. We're ready for Santa!

Hey Dad, were you finished with this section?

It's a Christmas Miracle!

Evan slept through the night - in his crib!!! After more than three months of waking in the wee hours of the night, Evan slept from 9:15 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.! All Mommy wanted for Christmas was a silent night and Evan delivered. He woke up cooing and happy too. I took some pictures this morning while he was all smiles.

Six Months Already?

Evan reached the half year mark on December 1 and is continuing to amaze us every day. He slowed down a bit on the growth chart, to the 50th percentile. I think he's trying to show off a slimmer, trimmer physique for all the girls in his day care class! He's such a flirt.

We're really excited for his first Christmas. He watched in amazement as we put up the Christmas tree last weekend, and he loves looking at the ornaments.

He has two teeth now and is trying out veggies. He's a big fan of sweet potatoes, but not so keen on the sweet peas.

We took a picture to mark his latest milestone - but another lesson learned in parenthood - never try to get a good picture right before bedtime. Tired babies do not make for happy photos.

This one is a little better, right?
