Visit with Erin and Melinda

Drew's cousin, Melinda and her daughter Erin came over about a week ago and spent the afternoon with us... We had lots of fun... Drew and I decided we have some baby-proofing of our house to do before Evan is mobile... They're into everything at Erin's age!!! Isn't she such a cutie?? I can't wait until Evan is old enough to interact with her!

Hanging out with Grandpa Brad

I just had to post this picture of Evan hanging out on the couch with Grandpa Brad.... Are they relaxed or what?

First Stroller Ride

My mom and sister and I took Evan on his first stroller ride last week. He's been on several of them since then! He loves them just about as much as he loves the car rides- they always put him to sleep!

It's Hat Time!

I just love putting Evan's little hat on him.. I'm not sure how much he loves it, but mommy sure does!!

Evan's Tree

For Evan's one month birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Ream got him a little tree to plant in our backyard... We're supposed to take his picture with it on every birthday so we can watch him grow with it... Here he is at 5 weeks old.... It's about the same size as he is....

Weight Check- He's a Big Boy!

Well, Tuesday Evan went to the doctor for a weight check.... He'll be 4 weeks old on Saturday and he's already 10 pounds, 11 ounces!! He's a little piggy!! Needless to say, we're not at all worried about Evan eating enough.... He's going to be a big boy! I just love squeezing his chubby little cheeks....

In other news, Evan is a very content baby with the exception of the late evening.. He always tends to be fussy until we can get him to stay asleep in his crib... We've tried everything to get him to sleep better from about 8:00 pm until about midnight, but he just doesn't seem to have the difference between days and nights figured out yet... Our doctor says it will just kind of happen on its own and we need to be patient, but we're definitely open to suggestions if anyone has any... Here's some new pictures to tide you all over..... I know, I know.. I've not been very good about updating this blog on a regular basis- I'll try to do better!!Thanks Will and Chris for the cool IU outfit!!

Evan's First Bath!

This past Sunday, Evan had his first bath.... He loved it! He's had another one since and it's so much fun... He just smiles and watches us while we pour water over his little body :)

Meeting more family...

Drew's brother and his family came last weekend to meet baby Evan... We had lots of fun seeing them again and Evan can't wait until he gets a little older so he can play with his cousins Ty and Hailey.... Ty has decided that he's going to teach Evan to fish someday :) Hopefully Evan can make the trek to Chicago to see them again soon!!
