evan :: friday.

first doctors appointment!  we took evan to his well-baby appt this morning at 10.  he is seeing dr. abbott, the same pediatrician brian saw when he was little (and coincidentally, the dad of my old ob-gyn who stopped delivering babies the month before i got pregnant).  after getting ourselves around and getting everything together, we made it to the appt with time to spare.  it was so nice getting out of the house!  dr. abbott said that he is doing great!  when we left the hospital, evan weighed 8lb15oz but at his appt yesterday, he was back up to 9lb4oz so the kiddo is definitely doing well!

dr. abbott said it was fine to take him out and about so we made a quick trip to target to pick up a few things we needed.  i got a picture of his first trip to target since it’s one of my favourite stores!!

we picked up lunch and then headed home.  evan’s been really observant so we put together his rainforest playmat.  brian put him on it for a bit and addie sat down next to him and watched to make sure he was ok.  sooooooo cute!!

while evan was napping on my lap, rylea decided she wanted to snuggle with him as well so i ended up with both of them asleep on me. they’re so good with him!

rylea also doesn’t understand that evan’s not old enough to throw her ball for her.   she spends a large part of her day dropping her ball on his lap for him to throw for her.  poor baby!

check out the tennis ball on evan’s side.

my great-grandfather, pa burl, made a rocking cradle when my grandma was pregnant with my youngest uncle (he’s 7 years older than me).  he used it and so have all of the great-grandchildren.  now we have it and evan is the first of the next generation to get to use it.  it’s so special and he had his first nap in it yesterday.
