Looking cute in the cupcake beanie Miki made for him!

This summer is flying by and we have had so many fun things going on! Evan is also growing and learning so much each day. We have finally edited the birthday video so that I can post a few little clips of Evan and his cake. I forgot to post his stats from his one year check up too! Evan was 31 inches tall and 19 lbs. 4.5 oz. The doctor told me that I could not turn Evan's car seat around until he is 20 lbs. and that may not be until he is 14 months! He showed me Evan's weight chart. Evan is doing really well. He is healthy, tall for his age and his vocabulary is advanced. The doctor was very impressed with him. First word out of Evan's mouth was horse. Shocker!

Evan's current favorite words: Horse, Mom-mom, Mama (for daddy or mommy :) ), yes, noi, noi noi (no no no), no, mmmmm (moo for the cow), woof (for dog), Nyan (Ryan), bloon or boon (balloon), bir (bird), more, wawer (water), ba (ball), baa baa (the sheep says...), onk (the pig says oink), emo(elmo), O's (the name of his favorite cereal), nana (banana), blewbr (blueberries), wamen (watermelon), whas tha (what's that? he'll point at an object)

Last Wednesday Evan took his first 3 independent steps to Dan. Super fun. He hadn't taken any other steps until today when he took 2 steps to Auntie Michelle. He's getting it here and there. We'll see if he's walking by the time we leave for Maui! (Sept. 18th)

Evan is also waving to everyone coming and going. Mostly if he thinks you are leaving. He also points and laughs at people thanks to Grandpa R. They do it to each other, but Evan does it to everyone passing by. It makes for good times in the grocery store. :)

Evan is 1!!

It is hard to believe that our little guys is already 1 year old! This year has flown by! We have enjoyed every day of every month with him. Evan is not quite walking on his own yet, but will walk along furniture and if he is holding your fingers. He is a quick little crawler! He loves to eat! He loves bananas, blueberries, watermelon, sweet potatoes, carrots, chicken, fish, garlic, yogurt, o's and a ton of other stuff! He loves to look at books! He loves the horse!! He says "Horse" hundreds of times a day! He can moo for the cow and woof for a dog. He can say wawer and sign water too! He says fis and signs fish too! He says boon for balloon and now points at things and says whats that! He amazes us constantly! He truely has been a blessing from the Lord! We love and adore this little man.

I will post more on his stats today. We are going to the Dr. for his 1 year check up this afternoon. I will also try to post more birthday party pictures when I get them.
