Any day now we are going to have a baby on the move. Evan has been getting closer and closer to crawling for quite a while now but I just know it won’t be long now. He reaches and rocks to get on to his hands and knees. He’s so close…and then we are in trouble!! Photo slideshow from the...

Many people only spend time with their family if it is absolutely necessary. Not us! We are lucky enough to actually enjoy being with our family, especially our cousins. Tonight we spent the night with Uncle Dan and the boys (Auntie was out) and Amy, Keaney and Kingston. What a fun time! Can’t wait to watch these five kids grow...

On January 11th, Connor Cenotti turned one. Today we helped him celebrate! It was a fun time with lots of little kids running around. Evan had a great time playing with the balloons and it was great to see some friends that we hadn’t seen in a while. Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been...

Evan generally has his dinner before we do but then he has a little more at the table while we eat dinner. He is very eager to try all that we are eating including baked haddock with a white wine caper sauce. Pretty exotic taste for a baby!

Um, guess not! If you want to see him in action, check out the video. (Warning: Some of...

The Pats were in the playoffs and what better excuse than that to get together with some friends, many of whom we hadn’t seen in quite a while. While the game didn’t turn out quite the way we wanted it to, we still had a great time. Luckily, between hosting the party and taking care of Evan, I didn’t really...

Lots of tummy time is tough... I think I need a break... So I'll rest here on this nice soft...book?? So silly!

Just having some lunch Daddy thinks my mustache is funny

Evan’s favorite pastimes these days are: standing, bouncing and eating. While he can’t quite stand unsupported, he does a great job leaning and if he is lightly supported. If he is leaning against the couch, his play table, or us, Evan can stand quite well for a decent amount of time. When he is not standing, he quite often bounces...

When Evan was born with a full head of hair, I was shocked! I was bald when I was born and remained that way until I was about two. And both Bruce and I were blond as kids so I just assumed that Evan would be bald and then blond. Since he was born, Evan’s hair has changed quite a...
