Wedding Weekend

Wishing we had more time to write but it seems that life is getting faster and faster and time for even small tasks is at such a premium. But nonetheless, we are doing great. Despite the fact that last week Evan had his first ER visit!! He caught a very common virus for little kids-hand foot and mouth. And with HFM comes a fever first, followed by little bumps that turn to blisters. Evan's fever reached 103.8 on Thursday night and we took him to the ER. It was quite an adventure but he handled it like a champ. Once his Baby Tylenol kicked in, he was laughing even in the room at midnight! He ended up being 85% or so by Friday and we left for Columbus for our cousins wedding. He was an absolute cutey for the wedding and the weekend and his case of HFM ended up being a very mild case.

He is doing so well. He is full-on crawling everywhere and pulling himself up to see what he can get into. He has even taught himself to climb the stairs already!!! Quite amazing I think. He's a great little eater and is always so happy. We are enjoying him more and more everyday!!!

Here are some pics from the weekend!

9 months and counting!!!!

Everyone told us it would fly by, and they were right! In what seems about 2 months, Evan is all of a sudden 9 month old! It's amazing how much he has grown up in the last month as well. He would rather stand at his play tables and on us rather than sit, he is eating entire chicken legs in one sitting, he is full on splashing and loving bathtime and more than anything.....he is on the move! About two weeks ago he started army crawling and within a day or two, he figured out he could get anywhere he wanted in no time flat. He has even started opening and closing doors when he can get his little, chubby fingers on the bottom of the door. Life is going by very very quickly for us and him!

We are close to crawling on the knees we think, and we are trying new foods and new adventures all the time. He loves swinging at the park, taking rides in his wagon and floating in his floaty at the pool with the big kids! I'm sure there are more adventures just around the corner as well. Mommy and Daddy are doing great too. Everyone is sleeping better and we are really settling into a nice routine at the house. Mommy and Evan have a blast during the weeks together while Daddy is away working. Dinner time and bath time are "can't miss" when Daddy gets home and weekends are just awesome all day family affairs!

Anyone who knows Evan knows that he is just the happiest darn baby ever. He laughs and smiles all day long and is such a good, good baby. We are having so much fun with him and really trying to soak up as much time with him this first year as we can. Time is flying by, but we are enjoying the ride immensely!

Cheers,

Josh
