Nine months ago today, I looked like this! Today, I look like this! As you can see, a lot has change in a relatively short amount of time. Bruce and I continue to be amazed by Evan every day and hope that our amazement never ends! He is one special boy who is loved by so many people, especially his...

To celebrate the Super Bowl, we went to Tim and Chris’s annual Super Bowl party. This year it was a little different than past years as there were almost an equal number of guys and girls there. This is very unusual for most WPI parties. Evan enjoyed the party and especially being passed from one girlfriend to the next. I...

A little game we like to play. Can't find Evan Peek-a-Boo! Here I am!

Last night, we put Evan to bed like this... And found him at 6 am like this... This was the first time he had completely turned himself around while sleeping. Silly little boy!(Photos have been reenacted)

Tonight as I was finishing up feeding Evan, I needed to check on our dinner in the oven. While I did, I left Evan’s spoon on his high-chair tray. It took him a few seconds to decide if he should touch it or not but when he decided it was OK, he was so excited about it. He was proud...

You may remember this post from November 19th. The other day Evan was playing on the floor over by my closet again and he was talking up a storm. I looked over and here is what I saw…Evan’s little friend was back! Watch until the end…it’s so cute! He loves his little friend!

Evan has become quite enthralled with his tongue lately. He loves to blow raspberries (especially while eating yogurt), stick it out, click it…you name it and if it involves moving your tongue, Evan is doing it! Mommy with her silly goofball (notice the tongue) My tongue is fun!

Today we went to visit Emily for lunch. Before going to lunch, we met at her house so that Evan could “test-drive” some of the toys she and Jason have for their little girl who will be joining this world any day now. It was also a good chance for Wally (who was camera shy) and Gus (Em and Jay’s...

You may have noticed that Evan is in his PJ’s in many of the pictures posted lately. Some days it is just too cold to go out and so we stay in PJ’s all day! They are warm and cozy and what is better than that on a cold winter day. Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service...

I am afraid that today was the first of many days to come where Evan bumps his head, face, knee, etc. He was kneeling on the floor today trying to reach for a magazine on the table when he hit his cheek on the table. I knew right away it would leave a bruise. Poor little guy! He seemed fine...
