8 month pics, the sweetest boy EVER, and HELP WANTED!

Today, Evan is 8 months old! Morning didn't start off so great with him being sent home from school sick. Took him to the doctor and he is just fine. His teachers were concerned about his bugger color but the doc told me that you can pretty much get any color out here in the desert! haha! So, he is perfectly healthy and doing just fine! With him mimicking Christian and I's cough...I was CONVINCED he was just faking! haha! Anyways...this chunker weighed in at a whooping 22 pounds 5 oz and 28.5 inches long! Growing like a weed and I guess a bush (wide) haha! Honestly though, most people have said that he has really leaned out with all his moving! What can I say...this boy just LOVES to eat...Guess that is the ONE thing he got from his mama!

SO BUMMED! I took the cutest pics of him this morning before school and they are GONE! AH!!! But..these are pretty cute too! His Jammies say "Mane Man" haha...gotta love baby Gap! Also...these are 12-18 months! YIKES!

He LOVES his glowworm (see video below)

All ready for bed! Daddy's old blankie, his giraffe and a big SMILE?!

Riding his pony!

EVERY mommy's DREAM...a sweet little boy!

Also...WE NEED YOUR HELP! Halloween is quickly approaching and I just CANT make a costume decision for this little guy! Below are some options we thought were cute...and of course if you have another idea...PLEASE SHARE!!!! My mother is quite the seamstress and can whip something up if needed :) As I was telling Grandnan earlier...I am just sooo nervous to make the wrong choice, being his first Halloween and all..HAHA!

Boot Scoot Boogie!

Woohoo! I can upload pics again! Actually didn't find my cord (Grandnan-we think it MIGHT be at your house) but I connected it through my printer :)

Things have been going well! Feel like the days and weeks are just FLYING by! My baby is going to be 8 months old tomorrow! AH!!! It's crazy! I will post a handsome little pic of him dressed up tomorrow before school! His teachers ALWAYS comment on his cute clothes and shoes. His Grandma's sure do keep him well stocked in the fashion department! And Aunt Bethany...thanks for introducing us to Pedi Peds! CUTEST SHOES EVER!!! And they fit his chubby little foot :)

And...here is a bunch of pics!

Out to dinner one night on our vacation...Just love that he is reading a book!

Chomping on some watermelon! HE LOVES THE BABY SAFE FEEDER!

Playing with his music table in his playpen!

A little lover!

Pancakes...LOVES THESE!

A little carseat fit! Cries if he sees mom!

Cousin Lexi!

In the pool with dad!

The finished backyard! YEA!!!!

STICKS HIS WHOLE FACE IN!

If he is in the high chair, poops is by his side...hoping to get a bite! He feeds the puppies...it is hilarious!!!!

A video of Evan Scooting about...wondering if he is going to crawl on all 4's...he is already trying to pull up on tables, excersaucer, couch...And the magazines, video games, DVD's are being hidden and cabinets baby proofed THIS weekend! :) This boy is into EVERYTHING!!!!

A note to my Grandnan...

Dear Grandnan,

My very absent-minded mommy has temporarily misplaced the camera cord! As soon as she locates it, pictures will be posted right away! Miss you and love you...

Evan

A Few pics from Grandnan's Camera!

FIRST TIME on a SWING! Loved it...cried when it was time to get off...so gave him a few more minutes! Daddy will be installing one of these ASAP! FIRST SUNBURN :( Very mild...EVEN with SUNSCREEN 55!!!!
FIRST time to meet MARLEY!!! The poor thing just wasn't feel well and he was just so into her bows, pigtails, giving her kisses, her toys, etc :)
FIRST...well...no he has been in a craddle but not a LONGERBURGER craddle:) Some people ask..."Is he always happy?" Answer: "Not when he is hungry, tired, or has to get out of the bath!" But other than that...YEP...happy!

FIRST Time to see SAND!

FIRST time to see the ocean! Loved when the tide would come and splash him!

FIRST time to visit Grandnan's/Granddad's beach house! TOO FUN!

FIRST time to eat SAND! haha! Totally faceplanted!

We leave tomorrow evening :( BUT, still more FIRSTS (oh yes...there is more) to COME!!!

Family Beach Pics

We are at the beach! Today we are going down to Williamsburg..and had such a blast here this weekend! Evan had a TON of firsts!!! Will post more pics later! Here are some of our family pics at the beach...

A little humid...my hair went POOF!!!!

Cousins! Could they be any more different??? EXCEPT...they sound sooo much alike...very similar voices!

We decided Evan has Grandnan's eyes...

MORE TO COME!
