Great Start to 2011

We celebrated Evan's 2nd birthday last weekend at Gymboree. What an amazing day! I loved celebrating my son's birthday with so many of our family and friends. Evan is a very loved little boy! A friend of mine is photographer and took some pictures at the birthday party. I can't wait to see them. I will post some of them soon!

Celebrating the little things...

We are so excited that Evan is starting to work on some of his fine motor skills. He started to put his pacifier in his mouth this week! Dan and I are so proud of our little guy. Check out the video we took to show Aunt Rachel. We miss her like crazy now that she is back in Jax!




Evan has also learned to move around in his walker at my parents. He was going forward, backwards, and even turning corners!! Go Evan Go :)



Dan and I took Evan to his very first concert today! We went to see Jack Hartmann. Dan insists Evan's first concert was the Ludacris concert we went to while I was pregnant... umm I think I will stick with Jack Hartmann for the baby book ;) Jack Hartmann sings children's songs. Evan was introduced to his music by his early interventionist. He was so cute at the concert. He loved watching Jack Hartmann sing and watching the kids dance around. His favorite songs were Alligator Chomp and 5 Little Fish.

Dan and Evan enjoying the show.

On a separate note... I am looking forward to starting 12 Weeks to Better Photos (http://sites.google.com/site/biowbiow002/twopeas_12week) I have been wanting to do this for some time. Being able to capture photographs of my son is such a passion of mine. I like to think of how grateful I will be when I am older to have these pictures of my boy. I want to remember every sweet stage he goes through. Taking pictures of toddlers is quite a challenge! Evan does not sit still and patiently wait for me to get the perfect lighting and camera settings. I currently take a lot of pictures, but I want to increase the quality of these pictures and make them better. So I am not going to put if off any longer. I am going to start these 12 weeks lessons. Every week I will post the weekly assignment on my blog to hopefully keep myself accountable. Anyone who wants to join me let me know!

So I will end with this cute picture of Evan I took while he was busy watching his Baby Signing Time DVD :)
