Family Update

Hello Everyone! I know it has been awhile since I have sent pictures so I

thought no day better than today. :)

 

Everything here is going well, just getting a list prepared for all of the

final preparations for Aaron's return. I think I am a bit more excited than

Evan, but I think it is because he doesn't really know what a homecoming is

just yet. I think he will be happy to have another set of hands to snuggle

him because he is definitely going through a phase where he wants to be held

always! It is a little tiring, but I am trying to come to a happy medium

between the two of us! His little tooth has been threatening to come out

for weeks now. He is constantly trying his best to stuff his two huge hands

into his mouth.

 

Evan has been doing pretty good sleeping in his own bed. Usually around

2:30am he begins to play a game of "I spit it you get it" in reguards to the

pacifier, he usually requires attention every 20 minutes or so until around

5ish when he sleeps like a dream until 7. I've tried the "cry it out"

method once and belive me, it is much easier to put the paci back in and go

back to bed. :) Other than this little snag, he is on a great schedule

through the day and is so cute. He loves to play with his toys, especially

the ones that light up and play music. He also loves it when I sing him

songs, right now Where is Thumbkin is his favorite. He is also extremely

ticklish and laughs whenever I change his clothes or rub his tummy.

 

He is definitely a little mover, while he doesn't really roll over much he

sure does scoot around like crazy. He loves to have books read to him,

right now his favorites are Good Night Moon, That's Not My Pirate and How I

Became a Pirate (he really is his fathers son!). The only way he will

listen to books though is if the TV is off. I think watching TV is his

favorite past time. Thank goodness for Baby Einstein!

 

He is such a big boy! He is so long that when I put him over my shoulder to

burp him, he is on his knees! He has also graduated another diaper size and

is now wearing Cruisers...I guess that is a warning that more movement is

inevitable :)

 

I will send more updates soon. The pictures will get better when I have

another photographer.

 

We love and miss you!

Wick and Evan
