No Pants and Food

Apples and a diaper. This just struck me funny the other day, so I snapped a couple of pictures.

Little People

Evan LOVES the Fisher Price Little People. He has the bus, the garage and then barn. I actually witnessed Evan staying in one place for an extended period of time - when he plays with Little People. (I will be looking for more Little People at garage sales next weekend.) ;-)

Cute

I thought this picture was cute.

Oreos and Ketchup

Evan dips anything as seen here with an Oreo and ketchup. Yech.

2 Year Pics

He's all boy these days. He only wanted to play with the football. :-)

Vacuums are cool.

Evan loves vacuums. He loves Miss Melba's new vacuum (he even helped her put it together). He loves our vacuum. He holds the cord while we sweep, turns it on for us, and even wants to unplug it (sometimes he does if I'm not fast enough). I had to sweep up the Fruit Loops he spilled (see below) the other day and didn't put the vacuum away. Evan was ok with that.

Clearance Balloon

Taking Evan out in public is usually so easy to do. Kroger has become an issue though. He no longer wants to sit in the cart facing me; he wants to ride in carts with the cars (those things are a pain). When he rides in the cars, he yells unless you keep moving and then will wiggle himself out of the safety belt and refuse to go back in. The crazy part is that at any other store, he's fine (he's not aware of other cool shopping carts yet). The other day I bribed my child to sit in the front. We went to floral and bought a discounted Mother's Day balloon (I think it was Wednesday or so). $1.49 well spent.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Evan can best be described in two words: curious and busy. Mike's baseball team got to play at Victory Field (the Triple A Ball Club's home field - downtown Indianapolis) on Friday night. Evan and I climbed up to the suite level, walked out to the outfield, checked every bathroom stall in one of the restrooms, leaned against the dug-out ceiling. You name it, we explored it on Friday night. Evan had pink cheeks (because sitting still is not something he does) and Mommy's legs hurt (because flip-flops were not an appropriate shoe to wear when following an almost 2-year-old for two hours). Thank God for Grandma Mary and Auntie. Evan chilled for about 10 minutes with Grandma Mary to give me a break, and then Auntie and Papa took Evan home (so I could watch the rest of the game).

There's merit in having kids when you're young. I work all day and then I work all night until Evan goes to bed. I'm tired. :-)

You think I'd learn...

...not to do stuff while Evan is awake. I had to move the cereal to a lower shelf the other day because we made pancakes for dinner and the griddle is what the cereal boxes sit on. Evan found the cereal and managed to pour what was left on the floor. He loved it when I was vacuuming though; he put the Fruit Loops right up to the hose.

Baseball with Daddy

Mike and Evan went in the backyard and played with the tee. Evan was NOT interested in having his Dad's help.

Papa, here's your straw!

New Jammies

Mimi and Papa bought Evan some new jammies. I told my mom I'd post pictures of him on the blog so she could see how they fit. He looks big! I can hardly believe he's going to be two next month. :-)

Sunglasses

I gave Evan a pair of my old sunglasses to play with. Auntie got a picture of him while she was in the back seat with him on the way up to Fort Wayne on Saturday.

Loungin'

Here are some pics of Evan hanging out.

That choking sound....

Evan was gnawing on his fingers one day because his 2 year molars are trying to come in. He shoved his fingers back too far and gagged himself. He decided it would be fun to replicate the sound (much like when he would grind his teeth or give us a high-pitched shriek) without actually gagging himself. Mike and I would tell him not to do it, but then he would do it more. I finally decided to ask him to stop and then ignore it. It went away for me, but not for Mike (Mike HATES that sound, and Evan knows it). We were at the food court at the mall the other night and Evan started his sound. Mike and I were talking and Evan says, "Dad!" Mike and I continued our conversation and then Evan said, "Dad!" again. Mike said, "Yes, Evan?" That's when Evan decided to give him his choking sound. It was hilarious. I've uploaded a short video of Evan yelling for his dad (who was upstairs) and making the sound to get his attention.

Mickey Mouse

Not only do we love Cars and Elmo, we love the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Here are some pictures of Evan in his new Mickeywear. Notice the sweatshirt has different bottoms - that's because he wouldn't let us take it off of him for bed. He fought and it wasn't worth it to us, so we just put shorts on him.

Pizza

Here's a messy (shocking) Evan on Friday night eating pizza. In the picture where you can see his toenails, you can see the cut he gave himself the other night when he dropped a can of green beans on his big toe. Yowch. That was not a fun night.
