10 MONTHS OLD

The official picture with his alligator! Can you tell we feed the kid? ;)











playing 'trash can'. do you want to play too? lol.




end of day one at our yard sale, evan's napping in our garage on his 10month old b-day! ;)





our first yard sale EVER! whoo hoo!





It's only been a month since my last report yet I find myself saying AGAIN, 'Where has the time gone!?" Yikes. This baby is a manic. There is a comparison Evan's Great Aunt Barbara (the one in Tennessee, he has one in California too) made this weekend. She lovingly said he's like holding a 'Wild Cat"! LOL! It's SO true, he's feral! He does not stop moving or jumping which we love but reality is, he definitely keeps on our toes because of his activity. :) We hope you enjoy the newest pictures and details of Evan's current goings on...


Weighs about 22-23 pounds by now

29inches tall as of 9month check up

Usually gets an 8oz bottle 3-4 times a day but lately really only wants one 3 times a day

Also eats a lot of table food but honestly with both of us working, I haven't focused on this as well as I could. Had homemade Pizza today for the first time and loved it.

Naps usually twice a day

Goes to sleep at night easier and faster if loosely swaddled but can go to sleep without

Sleeps from 8pmish-830amish

Wakes up smiling, standing in his crib and jumping

Loves playing in his room by himself

Favorite toys: Daddy's guitar, Plastic shapes blocks and box, necklace teether, WALKER, squirt toys in bath tub and diaper bag (thanks for letting me steal your idea for in the diaper bag Vivian!), Trash can, Bedroom door and Dog/Cats water bowl...

Things Evan gets in trouble for: playing in the dog/cats water!!!! ;) and pulling cd's off the shelves

Clicks his tongue to entertain himself

Starting to sort of cuddle? lol.

Crawls on his knees almost exclusively (as opposed to 'scooting' on his belly) to get around

See's no obstacles and pulls up on anything in his way, just mows through it. ;)

Likes books and being read to

Very 'attached' right now, will cry when we leave the room

Daddy says Evan is a "Mama's Boy" but that's cause he's jealous I'm better at this than him. lol tee hee


Things to look forward to coming up: In October we'll be going to see Evan's birth mommie Courtney (who also goes by Brooke)! We are totally looking forward to this, it's the most exciting of all the fun things they have coming up. Our friends the Smith's will be going with us during their visit from Texas. We are going to Gulf Shores again with Michael's Parents and Brother's family. My parents may visit this fall and last but not least, we are planning to have a California Christmas, whoo hoo! I think Evan will finally get to meet my sister Carlyn and we'll get to be with the whole family before my youngest brother Isaac goes on his 2 year mission for our church (he doesn't have his call yet but will in the next couple months). We can't wait to see how big his cousins, his age have gotten. Hopefully Evan will surely be walking by then and they can all clobber each other. LOL.
