Video: Eating with a Spoon

I got some video of feeding Evan. This time, Eric fed him while I recorded it. I had to cut it down so I could upload it to the web so it stops about half way through. No big deal. It's pretty silly!

Eating with a Spoon

Today, Evan and I enjoyed some outside time where he eventually fell asleep. After that, we went inside and of course he was hungry so I made him a bottle. I decided that it would be fun to see what he would do with a spoon. So, after giving him a little of the bottle, I made some thick rice cereal and gave it to him. I started off by just feeding him with the spoon but he didn't know what to do with it and wasn't thrilled with the idea. I finally showed him how by pretending to eat from the spoon to show him how good it is. This helped a little. I got some in his mouth but I'm not sure how much he ate. The rest got on his bib and hands. It was a fun experience. Next time I will get it on video!

Evan's Cute Hat

Eric and I voted this morning and the place where we vote was just down the street. We decided to walk there so we bundled up little Evan. Eric's boss got him a cute hat for winter. Soon it will be too small but for now it's perfect for when it's cold outside. I'll have to get a better picture of it again later. We were trying to get out of the house so I didn't spend too much time taking pictures. I love it!

Evan's First Halloween!

Evan looked so cute in his turtle outfit! We got a lot of pictures! Our friends Bo, Leslie and little Page came over to celebrate Halloween. Page dressed up as a duck. Page and Evan were the cutest duck and turtle I have ever seen! We had a great time strolling around the neighborhood and seeing all the other costumes. It was a great Halloween!

Evan's Walker

Evan's not quite ready to be walking obviously but he was excited when I put him in his walker and pushed him around the house. His little feet don't touch the floor and he's still a little short to enjoy the fun toys in front him. I know he can't wait to be able to move around on his own. It won't be too long!

Oktoberfest

Lynn & Nick's Baby Arrives!

Our friends Lynn and Nick had their baby last night. Her due date was originally November 10 but the baby couldn't wait any longer to meet his parents. Lynn's water broke yesterday afternoon and at 11:46pm, he was here. Everyone is doing well. They do not have a name picked out yet but I'm sure they will soon. He is 6lbs 7oz & 19 inches. What a cutie! We are so excited for them as they start their new family. Congratulations Lynn, Nick and baby!

Evan Finally Uses His Hands!

Evan is trying to control his arms and legs. His little arms are still flailing around like crazy and at times he is hitting himself in the face. Yesterday I gave him a toy to "play" with and he actually grabbed it and held onto it for quite sometime. I was so excited! I just had to get a picture of him holding his first toy! I was also able to get a few pics of him smiling too!

Our Little Pumpkin

My mom got Evan a little pumpkin outfit for Holloween and I already had a little hat that matched. Plus, my neighbor Amanda got him some cut Holloween socks. Today the weather is cool enough so I dressed him in his cute outfit. The hat that I got for him is a bit too small. Every time I put it on him he cried. It's pretty tight on his big noggin. I had to just set on top of his head so it looks kind of silly. He's a cutie!

What is this thing on my head!?

Pooped out!
