More Teeth!

Evan's top teeth are starting to come in! He hasn't been himself for the past week and he doesn't have much of an appetite (which is odd since he loves to eat). I put my finger in his mouth this morning and felt a little ridge in his gums. I hate when he's teething. He's just not a happy baby. However, it hasn't been as bad as when the bottom teeth came in. He was super cranky! Hopefully it won't be too much longer and we'll see his two front teeth! What a cutie!

Too Big

We recently had to pack away the swing and the bouncer and soon the infant car seat. I installed the big boy car seat last week in my car and Eric can still use the infant seat in his truck if he had too but Evan is almost too big for it. The infant seat has a weight limit of 22lbs and he is 20 lbs right now. The swing is no longer safe since Evan tries to sit up in the swing while it's moving. I can just picture the swing falling over while he is strapped in so we went ahead and put that away. He's just growing so much! Time goes by so fast. :(

New Roof

We had to get a new roof last month because it was leaking. We were not too thrilled with such a big expense but it had to be done. One day while the crew was taking a break, I spotted one of the guys snoozing on the roof. I never thought it was possible to nap on a roof but I guess once you get used to it, it could be quite comfortable. Who knows!?

The picture is a little fuzzy since I had to take it from inside.

Sign Language

I just wanted to say that Evan is understanding sign language! I have been signing with him off and on since he was about 3 months old and he's finally starting to get it! He's not signing yet but I'm hoping it will be any day now. I have been focusing on the main signs like mommy, milk, eat, and finished. One day he was in his exersaucer and was a little whiney so I signed milk to see if that's what he wanted and he opened his mouth. He has been doing that for the sign eat as well. Now I am signing more things to him justso it will start to sink in. It will be nice to have a baby that can communicate what he wants. I just can't wait to see his first sign! Then I'll really be sigining alot with him.

Apples & Cherries

I got some video of Evan making his yucky face while I was feeding him apples and cherries. It must have been a phase because he eats them now. I think he was just refusing to eat the cereal. Now, he's back to eating anything again!

Teeth

Evan's bottom teeth are finally coming in!
I swear he has been teething forever! When he saw his doctor last Tuesday, we were told that there didn't look like anything was about to come through. A couple days later, I felt the little tooth breaking through. Now I can feel the other one right next to it coming in! Poor thing has been cranky and uncomfortable. I will try and get pictures of the tiny, new teeth as soon as they make their appearance. It won't be long now! Thank goodness!
