Miss Alea came to visit...

...straight from Tropical Storm Faye! You know when The Weather Channel comes to your town, it's time to leave. That's exactly what Alea did! Alea and Evan cuddled up for Evan's bottle of the day. The doctor said to phase them out by fifteen months, so we're down to about five ounces in one bottle a day. It's about the only time of day Evan's cuddly, so nobody really minds that he's using a bottle when it's their turn to hold him.

Let my people go.

So Evan loves it when my dad comes to town. Dad recently had knee surgery and he uses a cane. Evan takes the cane and walks around with it like he's Moses. Dad even made a little cane for Evan. Evan's excited, because now he has 2 when Pa-pa is here.

Hungry Kid

If we ever leave the pantry open, in Evan goes. We were mysteriously missing several lids to our storage containers so we had to put the trash can in there because somebody was throwing things away. Because of this, it's easier to climb up and see what's for snack, which is what the dag-gone Houdini did on Thursday after school.

You'd think this was posed....

...but it wasn't. Evan fell asleep in the car last night on the way home from Grandma Mary's. He loves his Cubbies ball (and hat) and will often play with it in the car. (We leave the bat at home.)

Havin' a snack with Dad

Evan is a busy, busy little guy - that's the main reason there aren't too many pictures these days. By the time I get the camera and take a picture, he's off to something else. We've gotten a lot of, "Wow, he sure is busy," lately. He will, from time to time, chill on Mike or me...especially if there's food. Here he is having some crackers with Dad after school today.

Evan likes ketchup!

Evan likes ketchup. Here he is having some baby food hot dogs (called turkey sticks - oh so appetizing) with his ketchup. :-)

Evan's New Ride

Evan has acquired a car from one of Mike's old students. He loves rollin' in his new ride. He even has a new bumper sticker. :-) Grammie was his "engine" the other day and she pushed him around the house.

Crew Cut

After paying too much for a bad haircut at a new place a couple of weeks ago, I decided it's clipper time. I sat Evan in his high chair and turned on the Wiggles and off I went. He got 1/4 inch all the way around. I think it's adorable.

Oh yeah, this picture makes him look TOTALLY INNOCENT of anything doesn't it. ;-)

May the Force Be with You.

We found Evan a STAR WARS t-shirt. It's just cool.

Give him some books, balls and shoes...

(Auntie is blowing up his pool full of balls while Evan supervises).
...and Evan is a content kid.

You know those babies...

...that get a mouth full of teeth and it surprises their parents because they didn't even realize their kid was teething? Yeah, Evan is SO not one of those. Evan has 8 front teeth and 3ish molars, and Mike and I have felt (and are still feeling) the pain of every single one. Here is a picture in a not-so-good moment. I had to snap it because so many people don't believe sweet little Evan has a grumpy side. I blame the molars. :-)
