Hi There -
Wow..it's been forever since I have posted anything to this blog. Life sure has become a whirlwind :). I cannot believe that Evan "Little E", "Buddha Boy", "Goober", or "Pippy" as we affectionately call him is 7 months old. This little boy has too many nicknames. But with his cuteness..we just can't stop coming up with them! He is such a happy baby overall. Even the ladies at daycare have made numerous comments to me about how happy/smiley he is. The only time we really see his tears is when he is sleepy, hungry, or lately just plain frustrated with being unable to reach his prized toy.
He LOVES to be in his jumperoo bouncing around or cruising around the kitchen in his walker. He isn't a fan of "tummy" time still. I often wonder if he will skip the crawling all together and go straight to walking. He can sit very well on his own now and loves to play with anything that has a mirror. He also loves his play remote that says "sunshine today, cloudy tomorrow". He also loves the "Baby Animals" song that Jon found on youtube on the ipad - and his favorite book at the moment is "Where is Babies Belly Button" --- Thank you Megan Flaherty!!
He has started to babble a lot lately and blow raspberries.It's amazing how loud he can be! He is still not a big fan of the bottle, but he does pretty well with his solids. He will eat most anything if it's mixed with Banana! He isn't a big fan of the green veggies yet..hopefully that will come in time! The first 5 months were very tough sleep wise - but ever since then he is normally a good sleeper..knock on wood. He is definitely our 6 AM alarm clock though! No need to set that anymore :).
We are still waiting the arrival of his first teeth...My bet is that they will be arriving within the next month.
He has changed our lives in more ways than I ever could have imagined. No one can really prepare you for the joys and challenges of motherhood. We sure wouldn't trade him for the world. He is our blue eyed, blonde haired polish boy!
I'm hoping to update this blog more often - now that I am starting to feel a little bit like my old self. It's something I'd love for Evan to look back on when he is older.
Here is to next time!
Live.Love.Laugh
Sara, Jon, and Evan
