water baby.

this sunday, we spent the afternoon at cc’s house swimming and grilling out.  it was evan’s first real swimming experience and to say he loved it might be an understatement! 

 



 

those are some wrinkled feet!!!!

11 months.

so apparently i’m slacking on the 11 month post. not too much has changed from 10 months besides…

• becoming a professional crawler.  he can get from one place to another in no time flat!
• eating anything that is put in front of him.  he even put away an entire ice cream sandwich this last weekend with no help in less than 5 minutes {i have pictures but they are on the camera in the diaper bag}
• sleeping better this week.  he had started waking up around 5 or 530 thinking it was time to get up but the last few mornings, has stretched it to 630 and 650.  lets hope he keeps this up for the summer :)
• swam for the first time last weekend and loved it!
• has a little bit of an attitude when told no but quickly recovers when he realizes we aren’t going to give in
• plays fetch with rylea and will throw her ball for her when she drops it in his lap
• taking great morning and afternoon naps – finally!!

outside please.

someone has started throwing a fit when his sisters are let outside but he isn’t.  i’m not naming names but he weighs about 26 pounds and likes to get around on all fours :) 

we’ve recently started spending more and more time outside and this munchkin LOVES it!!

happy birthday daddy!!!

happy 28th birthday to the best hubby & daddy in the world!  we are so incredibly lucky to have you :)  hope you had a great day {& congratulations on doing so well on your flight controller sim – mission control, here you come:) }

mother’s day.

we had a typical saturday with soccer and not much else but sunday was my second 1st mother’s day!!! huh?? mother’s day in england is earlier in the year and happened to be while we were there so i got to have mother’s day then and then again this past sunday :)  my boys spoiled me with my hubby’s yummy eggs for breakfast!  then i got my mother’s day cards as well as a plate that evan had made for me at daycare {dumb me still hasn’t taken a picture of it!}.  it has his footprints as well as caterpillars made out of his toe prints – too cute!!

evan helped daddy with laundry… and then played on the floor…

we didn’t take many pictures but we cooked out that afternoon and nanny, vanpa, juliet, troy, and jaxon came over for a late lunch which was super yummy!! too bad mummy forgot about her camera:)

what a fun day!!!

I  L O V E  M Y  B O Y S ! !

lazy weekend-sort of.

we took it fairly easy this last weekend.  saturday, we got up and went to a local farmer’s market and then brian had another soccer game.  they asked me if i wanted to play again {i used to play for this team but stopped playing when i got pregnant with evan.  i have not done anything this aerobically challenging since then so the thought of playing soccer was a bit intimidating!!}.  i told them i would try so my parents came down to watch e during the game.  the good news is that i survived and it wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be but man, i was sucking air a few times!!  we went back to the house where evan took a nap while mum and i got pedicures and then we went and ate.  overall, a fairly fun day :)  unfortunately, i forgot my camera…

sunday, e decided to wake up super early :(  he has decided that brian and i are his personal jungle gyms so he spent his morning climbing all over us.

sunday afternoon, we headed over to cc’s house where we grilled out with cc, aunt barbie, and uncle mike.  evan also “swam” for the first time {we didn’t bring his swimsuit or a swimming diaper – oh well!!}  he loved it!! i think we have a water baby on our hands!!

FUN WEEKEND!!!

catch up.

we had a busy last weekend which i had every intention of blogging about, but i misplaced one of my cameras and was missing some vital pictures :)  {or that’s what i’m telling myself anyway:)}.

uncle james came into town two weeks ago and the little man got to spend some quality time with him before he starts training to fly hornets. we met for dinner, went to an astros game, and then had breakfast on saturday morning before he flew back to virginia.  after breakfast, uncle james rocked the little man to sleep for his morning nap on the porch of cracker barrel.

after breakfast, we went and watched daddy play soccer and then headed home.  brian had to start the babyproofing process and evan decided to help out :)

evan also helped “monitor” the dog’s water bowl.  he doesn’t want his puppies to be thirsty :)

sunday morning, we met up with the bible study girls and a few others and did the march of dimes walk in honor of karsyn & kaden brewer {my friend’s little munchkins who were born at 23.5 weeks…you can follow them at lifewiththebrewers.blogspot.com}.  we had a great time and evan was a champ!  he at breakfast the first half and slept the second :) rough life!

evan might look a little out of it because he was having a little “going” problem starting this weekend.  we think all of the big people food finally caught up to him.  we started giving him more fruit and it seemed to do the trick but for 4 or 5 days, the poor baby had an upset tummy and was miserable :(  tmi for some people but it’s our family’s journal so there you go!!
