Really wanting to climb the steps!We have been having so much fun that I haven't even had time to update the blog! Actually, we have been gone quite a bit and when we're home we have just been too busy. The summer is going by quicker than I would like, but we are having a great time!
I can't believe how much Evan has changed, even in the last month. He is now crawling like crazy and can get into things before we realize it. His favorite things are cords (especially lamp cords and my phone charger cord), remotes, phones, registers, the dog's water dish, and anything else that he really shouldn't get into. Child proofing has begun!
He has started to pull himself up and is working really hard to figure out how to get up the steps. (See the picture below) He likes to throw things and then crawl after them...we think he is learning from the dog! We have noticed that he is mostly using his left hand to throw, so maybe he'll be a great left-hander like his mom, Uncle Matt, and Grandpa Marv! He loves to eat Cheerios, crackers, cereal, bananas, squash, and pretty much anything else we give him. He has 2 teeth on the bottom and his top 2 just came in!
We went and stayed with Theresa, Isaac, & Lily last Thursday while their dad was on a mission trip. My friend Carrie was also there and we had a great time. We played in the sandbox, with bubbles, in the swing, and with Isaac and Lily's fun toys. The kids took a bath together, which was very entertaining...three kids in a tub is wild! On Friday we went to Eau Claire and got together with my college roommate Brenda, who I hadn't in a long time. She lives in Colorado Springs and has two beautiful children that they adopted from Guatemala. It was so fun to meet them and to have them meet Evan. Hopefully we'll see them again soon! We went to a little neighborhood parade and a train ride on the 4th, and had some good family time during the weekend. On Tuesday my mom, Evan, and I headed to Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells. My cousin Kirsten works there, so we went to visit her and spend the day in the water. Evan loved the water and we took turns watching Evan and going on the wider slides. It was a great day and Evan was very silly and giggly on the way home! We spent some time with Great Grandpa Dewitz and then headed home on Wednesday. On Friday we headed to Burnsville to my friend Jane's house for a play date. There were four 2 year olds, three babes, 5 mommies, and 1 soon to be mommy. The kids had a great time and seemed to really enjoy playing together.
This weekend Aaron's parents came to visit and brought our 2 nieces with. We went to the MN Zoo, played video games, swam in Evan's pool, and had a great time hanging out. Grandma and Grandpa Pasche brought Evan a potty chair, complete with a TP holder and a magazine/book holder. We won't need it for awhile, but with his own toilet paper and some good reading material, training should be a cinch!
We have more fun things planned in the weeks to come and are really enjoying summer with our sweet little boy!
