Playing in his new sandbox
Being silly at Grandma & Grandpa's houseEvan is 18 months old today and I can't believe that our little baby is now such a big boy! He is always on the go and doing something to entertain us daily. He is smart, funny, sweet, and VERY busy! He has his 18 month appointment next week and I'm anxious to see how much he weighs and how tall he is. He seems like such a boy to me!
Every morning on the way to school we have to look for buses and trucks. He'll keep saying "bus" or "truck" until I acknowledge it and then he'll want "more". My dad found a little school bus for him at Farm and Fleet, which he thinks is very cool. Grandpa Stan drives a school bus, so maybe we'll get to see it the next time we're in Alexandria!
Evan is defininately very social. He loves to say "hi" to everyone he sees and smiles at everyone. Whenever we go somewhere, he makes sure to get the attention of the people around us. He especially loves to follow other kids around when we go to the park. The other day we were at the park and he kept trying to get the attention of another girl that was there. She kind of ignored him and was doing her own thing, but that didn't seem to bother him. He just kept smiling and saying "hi". Such a friendly little guy!
He loves to go to the park, ride in his wagon, play with water, climb onto everything, and play with his toys. He is at a very fun age right now and thinks that almost everything we do is fun and exciting. Hopefully he won't grow out of that anytime soon! We have been spending a lot of time outside and have been going to various parks. He seems to have no fear and thinks nothing of going down the big slides or climbing up high onto the playground equipment. Makes mommy and daddy a little nervous sometimes, but I guess we'd better get used to that!
We are VERY excited that tax season is done and that we actually get to see Aaron! We get home around the same time, so we're able to hang out and do things before Evan goes to bed. We spent last weekend just hanging out at home, playing outside, and doing some fun things as a family.
I have been wanting a bigger vehicle for awhile, so we decided to trade my car in for a Hyundai Santa Fe. We were really happy with the dealership where I bought my car, so we decided to go back there. They had a play area with a little kitchen, trucks, dolls, etc...Evan was giddy about it! He was having so much fun, that he was very sad when it was time to leave. He "helped" me clean out my car on Sunday and now he wants to play in the car everyday. We got my Santa Fe on Monday, so he thinks it is very cool to "drive" mommy's new car!
Evan continues to talk more everyday and is very inquisitive. He loves to check things out and notices everything! He loves to laugh and is VERY ticklish. We are having so much fun with him and love him more everyday. We are even getting used to his "toothless grin"! I hardly even notice anymore...who would have thought?!
