Swimming

Evan at the pool! He has decided that he loves the pool now and I'm so happy!!

Hello summer!!!

Finally!

Well, I finally did it. I got Evan's pictures taken. I have been meaning to since he was born, but just couldn't get myself to spend the money to actually do it. Some friends of mine just started their own photography business so I got them to do it. I thought they did a really good job. We decided to make it a surprise for Garrett for Father's Day, so we framed one for him as his gift. Anyways, they turned out really cute. Here are some of my favorites...

Suit Up!

Evan in his cute little suit. I love it!!

Cali trip

A couple weeks ago we took a trip to California with Garrett's family to visit their grandparents. It was a lot of fun. They live really close to San Diego so we got to go there and also to the beach. His grandparents have the coolest house. In their back yard they have rows and rows of orange and lemon trees. I should have taken a picture but trust me.. it's awesome. I totally want to live somewhere like that someday...

Evan with the grandparents!

This is us in their go cart that his grandpa rides around their back yard in.

Evan with his cousin Madden! They both looked so cute in their little hats.

The whole time we were at the beach Evan was freezing cold. He was actually turning purple! So he was wrapped up in the blanket pretty much the whole time.

When we were leaving the restaurant where we ate lunch, no joke five tourist stopped to take a picture of him like this in his stroller.

Garrett the Graduate!

The semester is finally over!! Garrett is now an Associate! He decided not to walk at graduation but I wanted to make a big deal about it so I threw him a little party.. and by little I mean it was just him, Evan, and I there.. but it was fun. He ended up getting a 3.8 GPA this semester! Awesome right?! I am so proud of him. It was a very crazy semester and it involved a lot of Mountain Dew drinking, but he got through it. Yup.. he's pretty awesome!

Best Friends

My best friend growing up just recently moved in, a couple houses down from us. It has been so much fun having her so close. When we were kids we always talked about living by each other and raising our kids together and now it is actually happening! ..even though it will only be for a short time. She has a son, Kade, that is three months older than Evan. He's such a cutie. They don't really play with each other yet but it's still fun to see them together:)

Kade pushing Evan over lol. Poor E is just trying to look cute for the camera.

BFF's

6 Months!

Evan went to his six month check up last week! I felt like such a bad mom because the doctor said he had two ear infections, one in each ear, and I had no idea. I felt terrible, but other than that everything was great. Here is what's new with him:

*he weighs 17.4 lbs which surprisingly only put him in the 50% percentile

*he's 26.3 inches long

*his head is 17.6 inches around (79%)

*the doctor is a little worried about his flat head but he has until he's 3 before they will give him a helmet (which is his dad's biggest fear)

*he can sit up by himself

*he has already learned how to fake laugh.. don't ask where he learned it

*he hates pears and green beans

*he loves drinking water

*he is a really good sleeper (I hope I didn't just jinx it)

*no teeth yet

*he is very ticklish everywhere but especially under his armpits and his thighs

*he loves playing in his Jumperoo

*he loves it when I sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider song to him

*he has gone swimming a couple times but doesn't know exactly how he feels about it yet

*he still spits up a little but it has gotten a lot better since I have started giving him probiotics

*and he is completely adorable
