Beach Portriats Spetember '09

Steven took these three photos of Evan lastnight on the beach. I look at him in these photos and I can't believe how much older he looks. He is looking little like a baby these days and more like a kid. I went to exercise lastnight and then out for dinner with a friend. E got to hang out with Daddy. When I arrived back home, I looked at my little boy's face and it surprised me how much his face had changed in those three hours I had been gone.

The other funny story behind these images is that Evan had worn this blue hoodie to the beach. When I arrived home I noticed it was wet and asked to take it off of him. He cried and did not want it off. Steven told me that he too had tried to take it off but Evan protested and asked that the hoodie stay on!

"Boo Boo"

Evan has become very aware when he has an "owie" or a "boo boo". He makes sure that both Dada and Mama know what has happened and where it has happened. Tonight I was clipping E's nails and one of his nails started to bleed. (I felt HORRIBLE!) He didn't cry and it didn't even seem to phase him. He was silent for a moment and then held up his thumb and said, "Boo Boo". I placed his first band-aid on his thumb and he would just look at it and hold that thumb up in the air the rest of the night. I watched him playing with his toys and he never used that hand. He jsut held it to protect it. Now that we have hit the band-aid phase I need to pick up some fun ones for us to use. Poor little guy.

King of The World

Bulldozer the Book

Lastnight I was not feeling well. I had a pretty bad cold. Evan is just getting over it and I was just getting it. Evan wanted his Mommy's attention and I was barely moving. We were laying down reading books. Evan would run from my room to his and pick out a new book each time we needed one. Towards the end, I was feeling really tired and I said to him, "Evan why don't you read the next story to Mommy?". He picked up his "Bulldozer" book and started to read it. He pointed to the trucks and made crashing truck noises and called them by name, "Ahhhhhh TRUCK".....AHHHHHH TRUCK!!" Then he pointed to the smoke stack of the bulldozer and made that cute noise that only Evan can make, "Puff".

Delight and Joy

Water

Yesterday we went to our favorite park to play around on the splash pad. E was all ready with his cups in hand. We arrived to find the water going but within minutes it all shut off. Evan understood all of the conversation going on around him and knew he needed to find a button that would turn back on the water. He found this plate that said "Water" and was trying to push it to make the water come back on. It never did and poor E didn't get his water fix for the day.
