Evan will be 15 months old tomorrow! One of my resolutions this year was to update his blog more often, but I'm not off to a very good start! I'm going to try updating on Sunday nights...we'll see how it goes!
We had a wonderful Christmas with family. We went to Alexandria on the 23rd and were supposed to spend Christmas Eve with Aaron's family. Due to the weather, we ended up doing an early lunch and heading to Eau Claire in the afternoon. We stopped at our house quick to pick up a few things and then got to Eau Claire in the evening. We spent Christmas Day with my family and had a nice time relaxing and playing with Evan's new toys. Last year Evan was only 2 months old, so it was fun to watch him open presents and play with his toys. He seemed to have more fun playing with the boxes and bows and loved being the center of attention!
We went on a sleigh ride with my mom's side of the family, which was great fun! Evan was bundled up and thought that the horses were very cool. We even stopped for a bonfire, hot chocolate, and smores in the woods!
Evan is on the move and getting into something different everytime we turn around. He loves playing in the kitchen cupboards and chasing Maddux around. He thinks it's funny to grab Maddux's fur, which makes the dog growl. We're trying to teach him to be nice to Maddux, but it hasn't seemed to work yet. The poor dog puts up with it, but I think he's happy when Evan goes to bed at night and he doesn't have to worry about him!
It is fun to see how much he is learning. When we say it is time to brush his teeth or take a bath, he runs into the bathroom. He does a good job of letting us brush his teeth, but likes to do it himself too. He has been saying more words, including "hi", "baby", "mama", "dada", "pup pup", "kitty", "Hannah" (sounds like "anna"), "pretty" (sounds more like "itty"), "ba ba" (his word for any drink), and lots of other sounds that we can't quite make out.
This past weekend we were in Alexandria having Christmas with Aaron's family. We got together with his aunts, uncles, and cousins which was fun. Evan had a great time playing with everyone, especially Hailey and Maddy. They played outside with him on Sunday and pulled him around in his new Christmas sled. He loved being outside and cried when it was time to come back in!
Hannah (my brother's fiance) is staying with us for a few months while she does her internship at Children's Hospital. She is here on Tues, Wed, and Thursday nights. It has been fun having her here and will be really nice to have her here when Aaron is working his long nights!
Enjoy the new pics of our little guy!

Seriously?!? 15 months!! He is certainly an active little boy. Way to go Evan! Keep your Mommy and Daddy (and Maddux!) on their toes!
