Tummy time

Up until now tummy time caused much crying and unhappiness. Now we're starting to get a few minutes of smiley time before the crying starts. Evan is also turning over. At first turning over ended up as tummy time and you already know the result of that. He finally figured out how to get his other arm out from under him so turning over is fun.

Cereal tastes yummy

Evan had his first taste of cereal and really liked it. It only took a few bites for him to get used to the new taste and texture but he figured out what to do in no time.

Good thing my toys are soft

We're at the "put everything in my mouth" stage, hands (sometimes both at once), toys, big people's fingers, his bib. There's so much to discover

A day at Arlington Park

We spent the morning at Arlington Park and this link has more pictures and will explain why we were there. Click on photos, then the Live at Arlington Park section and check out the last page of photos.

4 months old and a clean bill of health

Today was Evan's 4 month check up. He's officially 15 lbs., 9 oz and 25 inches long with a head circumference of 17 inches. That keeps him at the 50th percentile, he's so consistent. He also got another round of shots and of course cried afterwards but since it was nap time, all was well very quickly.

2 aunts, 2 uncles and 1 cousin

It was the coming together of both sides of the family, all to see Evan. Reid and Suzie came all the way from the Land of 10,000 Lakes to spend the weekend getting to know their newest nephew. Warren, Chelle, and Erik came over for dinner. As you can see, cousin Erik is getting an early start on teaching Evan the art of the high five. So much to learn!

I like my high chair

Evan took to his high chair very well as you can see, it's like a chaise lounge for him. The tray keeps his toys from immediately falling to the floor. Soon he'll be eating in this chair, hard to believe.
