First Week of Being One

Evan's first week of being one year old has been fairly low-key. We go to the doctor this Friday for his 12-month check up (a few weeks late...), so I can give you the official height and weight measurements then. Evan is currently working on cutting some pre-molars, which has made the day-to-day activities a little whiney. He is a trooper though, and is trying to power through. Being outside tends to help, so he decided to camp out under this tree while I was gathering laundry off the clothes line.

A little close up.
Trying to feed the goats some celery. They were not so much fans...
Time for a short flight on the way back inside.

I also realized that I never went through his general accomplishments when I posted his birthday pictures! Evan is not quite walking yet -- he uses objects around him to help him walk, but most of the time he prefers to just get down and crawl or bear-crawl. He likes to point at everything, and he especially enjoys it when you point back to him and touch fingers. His vocabulary includes "Da-da", "Ma-ma", "Bay-bwee" (baby), "Boo" (which is "moo", and he loves to point at the cows and goats behind our house and "boo" at them), and "Wuff" (like a dog). Every once in a while he will break out a "g" sound, and he has been working on his "t-t" lately, I think to try to say "kitty". Other than that, I guess he is just working on being a toddler! :o)
