Evan TURNED 15 Months!

Well, it is no suprise that I am behind once again! Evan turned 15 months on the 9th of July, and with that come a doctor's appointment and oh so yucky shots! I have to say we really like our Pediatrician and the staff!

Anyhow, I know you are anxiously awaiting to see how much our little sweetie has grown. Here goes:

Weight: 24.1 lbs (40%)
Height: 31 1/2" (58%)

So, this means our little man had a growth spurt, which he needed!

He still does not say much, we call him a boy with very few words. He comprehends what you are saying and knows what he wants. He is in love with airplanes just like Daddy! I think it is safe to say he is David remade! 15 months brought on walking for Evan, which is great because in June he would walk a couple steps then just sit down. He knew exactly what he was doing, little booger! He is very much the kid who goes for the easy route. He knows he can do something, but then just goes for the faster route.

He loves food & water! When he has either of these two, he just lights up and it is like you have just put fresh batteries in him. He loves to put on a show, especially when the dinner is spaghetti! So, it is safe to safe any noodle meal would be his favorite!

It is so sweet when I pick him up from his childcare room at church they always tell me how he was the easiest kiddo and how sweet he is. As a mama that just warms my heart!! He is truly a sweet and funny little boy, we are beyond blessed!

Trip To Iowa...FINALLY!

After over a year, I finally got brave and took a trip back to Iowa by myself with both kiddos! I have to tell you I was in tears more than once in the Chicago airport and just about gave up! I was reminded that I am not super woman and it is a lot of work traveling alone with two little ones. I am glad I made the trip and that the kiddos had an opportunity to spend time with their grandmas and grandpas! Enjoy some pics from our trip, they are in order backwards!

Summer Pool Fun!

We have great friends down here in Texas and we are so blessed that! Both the Lee's and Solstad's live in the same housing edition and they have a really nice community pool. So, we have been thankful to get the opportunity to swim with them a handful of times this summer, which helps us get out of the house in this crazy heat!! A few weeks ago we had Mason over for the night, which Drew just LOVED, and we went to the pool! Talk about a great kid, Mason was so wonderful and patient with Drew. My boys just love him and his brother Garrett!! I can only pray my boys grow up to be like them!! Enjoy some fun photos from our trip to the pool!!

WALKING BOY... Kind of!

Okay, Evan has been walking here and there since I returned from my trip to Iowa, which was the middle of June. In the last week he has learned to stand up on his own, and has what we call (I know not good) an intoxicated walk! Who doesn't love watching a little one learn to walk. Just like everything else, Evan walks when he feels like it then when he is done, he just sits down and crawls the rest of the way! He is so easy going, JUST LIKE HIS DADDY! Enjoy these videos!
