Talkin' Evs (First Attempt)

This was our previous attempt of catching his laughing/talking
on tape. No comments about my footwork - I was focused on my filming!

Talkin' Evs

Here's a little sample of Evan saying "Thank you" for filling up his tummy:

Two Months

Evan went for his two month check up last Thursday. He weighed in at 11 pounds, 4 ounces; however, he didn't appear to grow in length by the doctor's measurement. This doesn't seem right to us since we think he looks longer and his onesies aren't quite fitting as good as they once did. I will cut her some slack, however, because a squirming baby is not easy to measure! :o) And since they never give me his percentile statistics, I found my own chart online and plotted his measurements. He is just below the 50% mark in height and weight, which is crazy, because we feel like he's so big!

Development wise, Evan has started sucking on his fists on a regular basis.

And he finds the picture frame above the couch to be quite a hoot! I tend to feed him here, and when I go to burp him, he finds this frame to be the most hysterical thing.

And look how nicely his hair is coming in! :o) Both parents are extremely excited about this!

Road Trip

For Thanksgiving, we traveled north to Connecticut to visit Jason and Erica (Josh's brother and his wife) in their new house. Their house was super beautiful and we appreciate them taking in such a rambunctious crowd over the holiday! :o) Evan traveled in the car very well, especially since we traveled at night. He was a little out of his element in the hotel room, but we survived. We are so thankful to the many hands that helped to care for Evan so that we could rest during the day. As a result of my naps, I didn't get any pictures of Aunt Erica holding Evan. We will definitely remedy that situation over Christmas!! :o)

Here, Evan learns that drinking beer...

leads to being passed out in the hotel room...

With their matching outfits, Josh tries to entertain Kate while Jess and Jenn shopped for a new TV.

Evan managed to keep his eyes open for a few minutes to take our first family photo since being in the hospital.

And because you can't have enough pictures of sleeping babies... :o)

Smile!

Evan's smiles are becoming more and more frequent; however, they're still hard to catch on camera! His smiles are also sometimes accompanied by a small laugh/coo, which is super adorable. Here's a few shots of the gum-filled smiles! :o)
