teeth brushing.

we decided that since e has his first teeth, we should probably keep them clean :) surprise, surprise, e thought it was something to eat and tried to chomp down on the toothbrush…

 

we’re crawling and pulling up.

saturday morning, we were being lazy and playing in the living room.  i guess one of us had put a toy up on the ottoman and the next thing we knew, evan had pulled himself up to his feet to get to it.  wow!!!  he did it a few more times on saturday and a few on sunday.  he’s still not completely sure of himself but it won’t be long until he’s a pro! 

saturday, he was also taking a few strides at crawling before belly flopping to the ground.  sunday morning, it was like a light bulb went off in his head and all of a sudden, he took off crawling!!! we were impressed for about 5 minutes until we realized just what that means – he is into EVERYTHING!!!  he’s so cute and so happy now that he can get around!!

here’s some video of his new tricks {excuse the belly:)}…

happy birthday nanny.

and some 3 year old photography :)

last night, we watched jaxon for our friends troy & juliet.  jaxon was super sweet and kept evan entertained in the backseat on the way to dinner with the birthday girl :)  he couldn’t figure out why evan couldn’t talk and when evan would get a little fussy, we would tell jaxon it was because his teeth were bothering him.  he asked why and we told him it was because he was growing teeth.  that’s what little babies do.  that just completely blew his mind and was the topic of conversation for most of the night :)

during dinner, i got out our little point and shoot camera to take a few pics and jaxon wanted to take some as well.  see if you can tell the difference…

so can you tell??  interesting to see life through the eyes of a 3 year old :)  we had a blast and jaxon was an angel!!

thank you jaxon for keeping evan entertained and for taking such great pictures of the evening!!!

addison’s accident.

this is a little out of order, but last friday night, we went on a walk to the lake where the girls swim and run around off leash.  addie came running back to me with her paw covered in blood.  i immediately called the vet to make sure they were still open.  she gashed the pad on the back of her leg and once at the vet, she had to be put under in order to get stitches.  i don’t have any pics but it was definitely an eventful friday evening. 

the poor puppy has been so good with it and hopefully it will heal soon so she can get back in the water and play! 

thank goodness we have an amazing vet who was willing to stay late to get her fixed up!!

we love you dr. huber!!!

snack time & sharing.

when we got home from strawberry picking and bluebonnet pictures, evan had some fresh fruit for snack and then decided that feeding the puppies/letting them have some of his juice was way more fun :)

bluebonnets.

after strawberry picking, we went to a bluebonnet patch near our house and got some cute shots of the little man…

strawberry picking.

sunday, we went to froberg’s farm in alvin to have a little picnic and pick strawberries.  we had a blast and evan was ready to eat the strawberries right off the ground :)

brian and i were eating sausage that was sitting on a napkin on the ground so e thought he needed to eat the leaves off of the ground.  hence, the pieces of leaves on his chin…

on to pick strawberries…

 

10 months old.

what?!?! my little boy is just so not little anymore :(  but what a fun stage he is in right now!! 

what e is up to at 10 months:

• eating 3 meals a day.  for the most part, he is eating big people food but every so often, when we aren’t eating something kid friendly, he will have some baby food.  so far he has had grilled cheese, cheese ravioli, fettucini alfredo, hot dogs, hamburger, gelatto, and any number of veggies…
  • a formula bottle in the morning {6ish oz}  we are finally out of breastmilk {i think although we might stumble across some in the freezer if we clean it out :)}
  • he is still drinking apple juice/white grape juice/water out of a sippy cup throughout the day and sometimes goes through 2-4 of them each day.
  • he’ll also usually drink 1-2 6 oz bottles of formula during the day
  • he’s still loving the yogurt melts and puffs and we have added teething biscuits, graham crackers, and really any crackers to the mix
• is able to feed himself small bit of food as well as his bottle or sippy cup.
• still saying dadadada and every so often will add in random combinations of dada, baba, and nana…still no mama
• has started pulling himself up on the bouncer, ottoman, and pretty much anything that he can.  we’re in trouble soon!!
• is sleeping pretty well although most nights, he wakes up once fussing…i think this momma is going to have to pour out a little tough love soon:(  he used to sleep forever on your chest in the morning allowing you to “sleep in” a bit but has stopped that recently – ugh!
• has started napping well at daycare.  there were some days we would pick e up and he might have had 5 minutes worth of naps or maybe, a whopping 30 minutes but that was usually it.  he has now started sleeping in 1-2.5 hour increments which is so good for him!!
• still loves to snuggle!!
• gives the best hugs!  he has been doing this for awhile but i just love them so much!
• still a size 4 diaper & 18-24 month clothes {although there are some 2Ts in the closet}
• still not a crawler altho he can get around. poor kid tries so hard and is in the right position but then just flops his belly down.  i think it’s only a matter of time though!
• finally has a couple of teeth on the bottom!!  they broke through on the 1st of april and it feels like some of the top are coming through as well. 
• has started taking steps when you have him standing up.  nothing spectacular but at least he’s getting the motion down!
