The Shoes...

After Evan was born, Garrett's Grandma Faylor's sister sent him a present, which was very sweet of her considering that I have never even met her. But anyways.. in the box were the cutest shoes and the cutest suit for Evan to wear to church (pictures of the suit to come). They are so cute that I didn't want Evan to even wear them but in the card she said that he is supposed to, so I put them on him the other day... have I mentioned that they are super cute? Well.. here are some pictures.

He looks so handsome in the little suit too but I forgot to take pictures of him. I will next time though.

So, this is not the best picture but I wanted to put it on here. On Monday I went to my mom's house and made some really cute burp rags. The on in the picture in one of them. I was so excited about this one because the fabric I put on it is SO stinking cute. Well... Evan has decided that he will not put his head on my shoulder when the rag is on it. He just can't take his eyes off the robots lol. This is what he looks like every time I burp him. I can't decide if he likes them or if he is scared of them...? He's so crazy :)

5 Months!

Evan turns 5 months today! It seems like he has changed so much in this past month.. it's crazy. My new favorite thing is to take pictures of him in his bumbo because he looks so funny in it. He is getting a lot better but at first he had a really hard time holding his head up. I don't blame him.. it is quite big.

So, I didn't want to write a lot because I am not very good at writing but I wanted to tell you what happened a couple weeks ago. So I was reading the book Dumbo to Evan before bed and there is a part in it where Dumbo sneezes and it said to say "achoo", so I said it, and Evan started busting up laughing. He thought it was hilarious! It was SO funny because I wasn't even trying to make it funny or anything. I have heard that babies like that sound but we had never done it to him before and before then he didn't really laugh at anything unless we tickled him.. so it was really random.

Anyways.. here are some pictures of this last month. My baby is getting so big!

More of Evan

Evan rolled over for the first time last Sunday! I have been trying for a week now to put the video of him doing it on here as proof, but I have failed miserably. It has been very frustrating so I just gave up. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Garrett and I actually missed it the first time he did it. I put him on his stomach to do his daily tummy time but got distracted watching the Oscars, and the next thing I know, he's on his back. It was very exciting lol.

Here are just a couple new pictures of him. Nothing too exciting but I feel like his looks are changing so much so I wanted to put them on here.

What a Goof

This is what he looks like 24/7 now days. He is constantly blowing bubbles and drooling everywhere.Lately after I feed him I'll put him on my lap and he pushes off my legs until he is upside down like this. He loves it! So now we have to do it every time he eats. He would do it for hours if I would let him but it makes me a little nervous so I only let him do it for a minute.

I came down stairs the other morning and Garrett had put him in his chair with all this crap piled on top of him. He does the craziest things sometimes! Doesn't Evan looks so frightened?

It is so fun to see his personality starting to come out. Garrett and I lay in bed every night and just talk about how crazy and fun he is and how much we love him. He is such a goof ball!

Here are some recent pictures of Evan. I seriously just take pictures of him all day long and wish I could put them all on here but here are some of my favorites. He is such a cutie!

First stroller ride

Garrett dressed him in this. He looks so studly!

I love the hooded bath towels!

This is for you Tianna

Well, I promised my sister Tianna that I would start blogging so that she can keep up with Evan and how he is growing up, so here it goes. I thought I would give a little update on our family. I'll start with Garrett.

GARRETT: He just started what is going to be a very crazy semester. He is taking 19 credits! We are only in the third week of school and it is already insane. Between work, school, and homework I hardly see him. He is doing awesome though. He is usually a procrastinator as far as school goes and puts everything off until about an hour before it's due, but so far this semester has been different. I'm so proud of him. Hopefully it doesn't get too crazy and he can keep it up and stay ahead. If everything goes as planned he will be getting his AS degree here at Dixie after this semester and then his BA in English a year later.

He doesn't have a lot of free time but if he does he usually plays with Evan, watches the Jazz play, or plays Scrabble with me. He is so good at those kind of games but I am proud to say that I have beaten him once!

EVAN: I don't even know what to say about Evan other than he is the cutest little boy ever! He is so fun to hang out with. He is so smiley! He has the cutest, biggest smile. He has started laughing and I can't get enough of it. We do a lot of tummy time, which he hates, but last night he almost rolled over. He got all the way on his side but got stuck and I had to push him over. But it's a start right? He doesn't have any interest in his toys right now. I am constantly trying to force him to play with his rattle but he doesn't care about it one bit. I'll put it in his hand but he will just throw it to the side. I just keep trying though.. he's going to like it one day.

He has become a pretty good sleeper. We go through our bedtime routine of bath, eat, read, pray and sing, then I put him in his crib and he falls asleep on his own and most of the time, sleeps through the night. I'm very lucky. He is such a good boy.

He also LOVES to eat and is getting pretty chunky. We don't go back to the Dr. for another month so I'm not positive but I think he probably weighs about 13 lbs now. He is getting to be a big boy and he is so much fun to have around!

ME: Well, I'm not very exciting. I am a mom and that is about it. I have kind of started scrap booking. I decided that I wasn't going to try to make them super cute but just get the pictures on a page. I would love to make them cute because I really enjoy doing that kind of thing but I knew that wouldn't be realistic. And lets face it, Evan is not going to care what it looks like 10 years from now.

I got released as the piano player in the primary because it was impossible to do with Evan, so now I don't have a calling. I was kind of excited because I really missed going to Relief Society but I still don't really get to go. I am out in the halls pretty much all through church. Apparently Evan doesn't like church so much. He makes it through sacrament meeting pretty good but thats it. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Well that's about it for me. I'll post some pictures of Evan now because I know that's what everyone really wants to see.
