Lots of Firsts

This past week was full of firsts for Evan! We had a very full week. It started off with Dan's birthday. We all went to Renaissance for Dinner last Sat. night. It was a good time. The musician wanted us to put Evan in the tip jar so that he could take him home to his wife. We weren't going for it. :)
My mom had her right knee replaced on Monday. It was the first time Evan has been to the hospital as a visitor. He did great all week. He knew that his job was to make Grandma smile. He had no problem doing that. :) He made all of the hospital staff smile too!
On Friday Evan had his first Halloween. He had lost of fun things to wear. Great Grandma Nielsen sent him a cute Halloween onesie and Pumpkin suit and Dan and I got him a little bear outfit. We thought that was appropriate since we call him our little bear. He was a pumpkin at the hospital and then wore the bear outfit around to the neighbors houses. Actually, there was only one neighbor home that we knew. But they loved seeing him.
That was a full week to wrap up October.

Talking with Evan

Our Morning Conversation

Talking to Aunt Julianne

Enjoying Evan

Hanging out with Daddy. :)

Sitting in the BUMBO!

Playing makes me tired! :)

Evan is getting so big and is soo much fun! He is having fun playing with this play mat. He grabs at the rings and loves to look at himself in the mirror. He has started to scoot himself backwards on his back across the play mat. He has strong legs! Yesterday morning I put Evan on the play mat while I was taking care of something. After awhile I didn't hear him anymore. I looked over and he was asleep. It was so cute!
Evan has also been talking a ton. In the morning when he wakes up we have a conversation about how the day is going to go. It makes me smile. I will try to post one of our conversations.

Evan's 2 Month Birthday

Of course we had a 2 month birthday. Here is the party. Hopefully our singing is better then the 1st month. :)

2 Months old!!

Wow! Evan is already 2 months! He is so fun. He has been cooing a ton and holds his head up pretty well too! We recently had his 2 month check up . He is now 12 lbs. 9 oz. and 23 1/2 inches long. The doctor also looked at his mouth and told me that he will probably get his first tooth before 6 months. hmmm.... I don't know what to think of that. His daddy got his first tooth at 2 months!
Evan is also in cloth diapers now. Not only are they super soft, they are also pretty fashionable. He has such a cute bum in them. :) They are called Bum Genius. They are pretty easy to use and more economical in the long run.
As always there are more new pics of the little man on our picasa web album.

Life is GOOD!!

I love my life. God is so good! Each day I am so amazed at God's goodness and mercy toward me. I am truly enjoying being home with Evan and am so thankful for a husband that works so hard to provide this. I am so blessed.

Evan has grown so much since my last post. He is getting quite the chubby checks. He has become more aware and alert. He is smiling more and more too! He is such a joy!

In the mean time he has had many firsts. We spent the last two weekends down in Oceanside. Evan has ridden the train twice, gone to the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, the Beach and to Cabrillo National Monument. He also met his Great Aunt Dawn from Michigan. Evan did great! He slept a lot, which was not a surprise to us. But also put up with us putting him in random places for cute pictures. I will upload pictures soon to our web album.

Evan was smiling. I was trying to capture it on video. :)

Evan's 1st Swim

Today we took Evan in the Spa for his first swim. He loved it! We thought he might because he likes to take baths. We would support his head with one hand and he would float and kick. He was totally content the entire time. :) See our picasa album for more pictures.
