Spring tiiime....the only ringy ding tiiime.

Spring is on its way! I'm looking forward to being able to take Evan out for walks in the nicer weather. The big snowbank in our driveway finally melted and I was able to pry out our Christmas tree. We had put it out on trash night in early January and in the middle of the night both the snowplow and the little sidewalk plow came through and buried it in snow. Then everything froze and it was buried under a couple feet of snow & ice. That just melted within the last week. Ugh. I like snow but I am ready for Spring!

Evan is a little learning sponge. Yesterday Dan taught him where his nose it. If you say "nose" to him he puts his finger on his nose. So cute!
He is also a little human hoover when it comes to food. He loves to eat whatever we are eating and really packs it away. He ate a grilled cheese and a half for dinner last night along with an apple. The day before he ate a good helping of my mom's veggie lasagna (yum!).

I leave you with a picture. I gave Ev a roll of (brand new) toilet paper to play with the other day. He loves how soft and squishy it is and that it goes on seemingly forever. As he crawled away this is what I noticed. The baby equivalent of having toilet paper stuck to your shoe :D

Evan the Ham, and Invite Only

Evan is such a little ham these days. He picks up on so much and delights in making us laugh. He has the most contagious giggle! He loves to initiate games of hide and seek (really just a little more advanced version of peek-a-boo) and he enjoys feeding us bits of his food. He is showing less and less interest in his pablum and more interest in "big boy" food (i.e. whatever we are eating). He also likes to eat soft Macintosh apples. They are a soft apple so he holds on to it and gnaws at it and we don't need to worry that he might bite off a large, hard chunk. He also has figured out how to flip his pacifier right side up if it ends up in his mouth upside down.

Dan has been working quite a bit these last few days, something about some problems with a big client and their servers. Or something like that. I don't understand 95% of what he does so that is my approximation of what is happening :) In any case, he has been going full steam ahead all weekend (he managed to get a 2 hour nap from 1 to 3 am this morning) and he will be taking some days off when this is done (hopefully in the next few days). Evan and I miss him!

I am going to be making this blog invite-only soon so if you read it please click on the 'follow' button on the right side of the blog. That way I'll know who reads it and will be able to put you on the list, so to speak :)
If you are already a follower then no further action is required :)

Here are a few pictures of him eating his apples and sitting in the rocking chair like a big boy, and just being a happy boy in general. He loves to sit in it by himself and rock.
