Evan's 6 Month Check Up

Today I got to go with Alisson to Evan's 6 month check up. I was so touched by Alisson inviting me to go with them. I was very impressed by all of the information given to Alisson. Example: Sunscreen and types of bug repellant to use. Evan weighs 16lbs.3oz. and is 27 and a half inches long. He is tall and lean. 90th percentile for height. Evan has his 2 bottom teeth and his top teeth are starting. Evan showed off today. He laughed when the nurse touched his belly-- he is ticklish on his belly. He smiled, laughed, talked, followed the light left to right and up and down. When given the tongue depressor, Evan held on to it in his right hand and then put it in his left. The nurse practitioner said, "He just transferred it which is 7 months." I asked, He is doing fine, right? She answered, "Yes" and he is cute, too." Evan had to get three shots. I never have heard him cry so loudly and turn red. He was very upset!!!! As soon as his Mommy picked him up though, he was fine again. We are so thankful to God for Evan and his continued healthy development.

Evan is Almost 6 Months Old

I took this picture of Evan in his crib at our house. He was just fed and changed. That is why he looks so contented. EVan is wearing his Property of Mom Forever outfit that we gave to Alisson on Mother's Day. Evan is definitely a little person now. He jabbers a lot and loves to be outside. I am introducing him to the song As the Deer Panteth at the Water online.(One of my favorite songs) He sits on my lap and stares at the deer while I sing to him. It is too precious.

Evan's First Tooth

Evan was with me today for a couple of hours. He had been really drooling (which he has been doing for the past month) so I put my finger in his mouth to check if he was teething. To my surprise, I felt a front bottom tooth. When his Mommy picked him up, I asked, "Do you know what's new with Evan?" Alisson asked, "What?" I said, "Check his mouth on the bottom." She was surprised!!! Evan is growing up so fast.

Mother's Day Weekend

Hi all,
Saturday, May 9th we had Evan and J with us. Alisson, Terence and M went to a Cleveland Indians baseball game. The boys were with us from 3:30pm to 2:00am Sunday. We had a great time. Jeremy helped Pappy G make pizza. Jeremy loved the tomatoes on the pizza. Little Evan had strained carrots. Evan went to bed at 8:30pm. He coughed at 1:45am. I went in to check on him. He was wide awake and smiled at me. I changed his diaper and he happily kicked his feet. He was wide awake when Alisson picked the boys up at 2:00am. Then, on Mother's Day, Evan and all of his family came to celebrate Mother's Day with Grammie. What a special day!!!! We recalled that last Mother's Day, Alisson was having morning sickness (all day) and she did not eat much then. This year, Alisson enjoyed the filet mignon cooked on the grill. Pappy G made Evan's Great-great Aunt Marge's special hot fudge sauce for the sundaes we made for dessert. I have not gotten in the habit of carrying pictures of Evan with me, however, Terence, Alisson, M, J and Evan gave me a tiny digital picture frame to carry on my keychain. It has 92 pictures on it of the whole family. Very nice!!!!!

Evan in Motion

I captured this picture of Evan just as he was beginning to roll over. I have so much fun playing with him and of course, kissing him a lot. Evan tolerates his kissing Grammie very well.

Evan and Tummy Time

Here is Evan at our house doing "tummy time." He likes doing it now and plays with toys and looks all around.
