Yay Evan!

I finally got a couple good crawling videos... The first one is one of the first times he crawled. He loves crawling towards the Wii Fitness board :)



The second video is one I took later that week.



Evan has not been sick in such a long time, but our luck ran out this week and Evan caught a cold. When Evan gets sick he REALLY gets sick and he does not bounce back quickly. He has been very clingy and winy but we are hoping the medicine starts working soon and he can be back to his happy self soon! Even though he is under the weather he continues to amaze us. Today he stood in his crib for the first time!! Dan saw him this morning and he did it again for me this afternoon :) I can't believe all the new things he is doing in just 2 weeks. Dan ran and got the camera so I could get a picture of him standing up... the picture is not the best since he is sick and screaming for us to come get him. Not exactly the way I envisioned the first picture of him standing but... I will take what I can :) Poor little guy did not understand why we were so happy and snapping pictures. He just wanted OUT of his crib!!


Practicing trying to standing... :)


Update on baby proofing: Evan tried to pull himself up on one of our bar stools and knocked it over... scared me to death! Thank goodness he was not hurt. So for now, the bar stools are going in the garage.

Moving and Grooving

Here are a few pictures of Evan having fun
exploring and playing around the house!

Exciting New Milestones!

These last few weeks Evan has became our curious little monkey AND has started to crawl. Dan and I are beaming with pride and excitement! Evan is exploring our house and touching everything he can get his hands on... baby proofing, here we come! When Evan started to crawl I was so hesitant to say he was crawling out loud because I did not want to jinx it. But his physical therapist witnessed it herself last Friday and gave us the go ahead to say he is officially crawling!! The first toy he crawled to was his play drum that my friend Margaret got for him. I love how he now has the freedom to go where he wants to go. It is fun to see what he is interested in. The other day he made his way down the hall and headed straight for the bathroom. Another favorite place to explore is our bedroom.

He is also starting to show the signs of wanting to pull up on things like the coffee table, toy box, and window seals.



We have been spending a lot of time outside letting Evan play at his water table.



I have not been successful at getting a video of Evan crawling... he does not crawl for long stretches yet. Hopefully I can catch him in the act soon :)
