Busy Weekend...

Lots of smiles...

Laura and Evan


Baby Macie




Since Aaron was working this weekend, Evan and I headed to Eau Claire to visit my parents. My friend Kristen was also being induced on Friday, so it was a good time to go. We visited great grandpa on Friday night and Evan had his first "giggle" while we were there! He has done it a couple of times since...very sweet! On Saturday my cousin Laura stopped over to visit. She was in town for a little while and wanted to come and see how big Evan has gotten! In the afternoon we went to the Home Show with my mom. I had Evan in the Baby Bjorn and he seemed to love it. He likes to watch what is going on around him and check things out, but I wasn't sure how he would do in it. I tried it a couple of times when he was younger and he was not amused! I think it's better now that he can face forward and see what is going on. Kristen had her baby on Saturday morning, so I was able to go and visit in the hospital while Evan stayed with grandma. It was a great weekend, but I think we wore Evan out. He slept the entire way home yesterday and took quite a few naps today.
He also ROLLED OVER for the first time today!!! Three times from back to front...our little guy is growing up!

Almost 4 months old!

Valentine photo shoot...



Our sweet little Valentine!

Enjoying his new "ducky" bath!



Baby Cole (Jane's little guy)

I can't believe that Evan will be 4 months old on Saturday! Where doe the time go?!
We went over to visit my friend Jane and baby Cole on Monday. Cole seems so tiny and he is actually a little bigger than Evan was when he was born! Is it possible that Evan was that small?
Evan had a great first Valentine's day and was a good sport with my photo shoot. I tried to get the dog in a picture too, but he wanted nothing to do with it. Aaron actually caught Maddux behind the chair eating the paper heart the next morning!
Right now Evan loves to play "so big", stand up and show off his strong legs (while being held of course), "talk" to us, put things in his mouth (especially his blankets and burp cloths), read books, play with his froggy carseat toy and any toy that lights up or plays music, take baths (he just got a new duck tub from Matt and Hannah), and play under his activity gym.
He gets more fun everyday and we are pretty crazy about him!

We love weekends!




We had a nice, relaxing weekend. We went out for dinner, did some shopping, played a lot, and hung out with Uncle Matt on Saturday morning. The weather was nice, but we'll be really glad when it's warm enough to go for a stroller ride!

Mommy Time...





It's tax season again, so Aaron is working his long hours. Evan and I have been home (with Maddux the dog) having some good bonding time! We have been playing, cuddling, and having great fun! Evan has started putting his fists in his mouth, making lots of noises (I'm sure he'll be a talker just like his mom!), and loves to try and grasp his toys. I can't believe that he will be 4 months on the 21st! He is such a joy and gets sweeter every day!
