Well...when I made the decision to be a stay at home mom...I knew I would love it and I knew it would be very rewarding to get to spend so much time with Evan and on family things...BUT, let me tell you...I really thought I would have more free time! AH! Evan is constantly on the go! From the time he wakes up until the time he naps...WE PLAY! We go for walks, play in the playroom, go swimming, and are all over the house! He is starting to pay more attention to TV, but only in like 10 min increments...usually when I can sneak in a quick mom chore but other than that, he is a CRAZY man!
So...that paragraph was pretty much going to lead up to my big excuse for abandoning our family blog...I just haven't had time! When he naps is when I clean, organize, and well...sometimes take a little snooze. But, it has been so wonderful to get that time to get all the household stuff done because Christian and I truly have our evenings and weekends duty free! IT IS AWESOME! And I love that I am able to get it done so that when he gets home from a long day at work...he can just relax and hang with Evan (even though I do ask him to do a few things...trash, bath, etc :) ).
So since returning from our vacation, we have just been hanging out in the pool and relaxing!
Alright...onto the pics! Here is Evan watching his new dancing tool set! (Thanks Grandnan!)
Breakfast at the park! Those who know ANYTHING about our summers know that 8 am in the summer is the ONLY time cool enough to enjoy the park!
Eating his fruit bar. Evan is incredibly fussy about breakfast food...fruit bars and toaster struddels are really the only thing he will take in the morning! Well...that and LOTS of fruit!
Mims joined us!
Chomping on a banana!
And...fascination with EVERYTHING Toy Story! Evan LOVES Toy Story...even though he will only watch a few minutes of it...He will see a TV (yes even at other people's house) and say "Watch Buzz". He can pick out the characters ANYWHERE! We will be in the grocery store and he will say "BUZZ!!!!!" and point...I literally have to search around and see what he has found! Bandaid boxes, bread, cakes, cookies, blankets, BUZZ IS EVERYWHERE right now! He has the BUZZ jammies but here he is in his Woody ones. When we put the Buzz ones on he looked in the mirror pointed at himself and goes "BUZZZZ!!!!" hahaha too funny!
And...still all about MOMMY! Whatever mommy has...Evan wants! Now, I have never worn all these together, but I guess he is fashion forward. hahaha
Closet hide and seek! "WHERE'S EVAN???!!!" He loves to hide!!!! and well...as sneaky as he may try to be...he is always in the same spot. Christian's part of the closet! He is thrilled when you find him!
My son is incredibly good at getting doors open and this was his latest find! He starting beating the dogs with it!!!! POOR BELLA! She just stood there and took it!
LOVES the camera! Though, when I use my SLR, there is a mini flash that goes off before I take a pic and sometimes he squints! Sitting on Bella...
A few minutes later...he actually stood ON TOP of her! POOR dog
More squinting...
Doing the HOT DOG dance...(Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
How verbal Evan is continues to impress me daily! I know moms understand everything there child is trying to ask for...I just think it is so neat how much he is talking! Such a big boy! When finding out I was pregnant, I was pretty nervous about having TWO babies but, honestly, I think it is going to be totally fine! Exhausting...but I am not as worried as I was. He does so much that we ask him to do! Will go get diapers, clothes to wear (rarely do they match, but hey...on a rough day...who cares), tell us what snacks he wants, sit at his little table to eat, bring us toys to play with, tell us when he needs a night night...he is 18 months and has changed SO much in the last couple of months!
Pregnancy update: 17 weeks...we find out next Friday what we are having! WOOHOO! I start my shots Wednesday...hope it's just a little pinch (inside joke with my mom...she always told me shots were like a little pinch). The belly is definitely growing will have to post a pic later this week!

That is so funny that Evan is into Toy Story cuz Cam is TOO. Everything is Buzz. Every character is Buzz. He has only watched the first one for about 20 min. but LOVED it. My stepdad thought it was really cute so now his nickname is BUZZ instead of Grandpa Rick. Haha. Its funny how early they get into those things. I bet 17 weeks has gone by fast when there is another one running around. Can't wait to hear if you are having a boy or a girl.
so glad you can stay home now! and also very glad that you are loving it! it can be exhausting, but you already know that. it is very fun and rewarding too! can't wait to find out what you are having! so you must be due the end of december?
