Evan is 6 months!

Evan is 6 months old today. Some days its seems like it was only a month since he was born, going by so fast. Other days, I want to speed ahead and see all the amazing things he'll be doing soon. Here is some Evan 6 month facts:


Likes: Cookie Monster, drink containers, playing on his tummy, Peek-a-boo, Patty cake, going for walks in the stroller, spitting/blowing raspberries.
Dislikes: When Daddy picks on him, Sweet Potato baby food, sleeping without his blanket, falling over when he is sitting, sleeping through the night (unfortunately for me)
Other feats: 28 inches long, no scale but I'm sure he's pushin' 20 lbs. Has 2 bottom teeth, 1 top tooth and another on the way! Army crawls. Can stay sitting up but can't push up from laying to sitting.

We got his pictures taken at Sears this week. Sadly, they don't come in until Sept 9th, but just in case you didn't know how freaking cute this kid is, here are some sneak peaks:



Yeah, that is my adorable baby. I cant wait to get the bigger/better ones!

I am so happy that Evan is part of our family and feel so glad I was able to be a stay at home mommy for 6 months. He is such a good baby and I love spending my days and nights with him. Sadly I have to return to work soon but hopefully he won't have to be in daycare too much since I'll only be part time.

In other news, Jake started school this week. We had a slight hiccup getting financial aid approved due to some old grades from when he was in concurrent enrollment in high school. But thankfully we appealed it and got approved! He is taking 3 classes this semester on top of working full time. I know this will be hard for him to fit work, school, and homework but am so proud that he's made the decision so he can get a good career to support his family. :)
Until next time... :)
