Evan's Busy Weekend - First Snow!

I had tons of cake orders this week so Evan spent the night Thursday and Friday night at Granny & Papa Jerry's house. I stopped by there Friday after to work to check on him. He has developed cradle cap this week so we are leaving the helmet off for a few days to treat his head. With all his hair, it's hard to see it, but hopefully, it's now on the mend.

Evan helped Barbara and Jerry with their laundry.

Evan was happy eating his dinner.

Evan had all eyes for his daddy when he came home Saturday.

And look what we came home to! Snow!!

I had found a snow suit for Evan when he was just a few weeks old. I found it at a consignment sale last year. It was size 6 to 9 months, so I wasn't sure if it would still fit him or not. It fit him perfect! And he looked so cute in it.

Evan loved the snow! I think we had about 4 inches of snow. He giggled the whole time he was outside.

I'm so glad it finally snowed so Evan could experience it. He really loved it.

Evan's 1st Valentine's Day

Vince, Evan & I opened our Valentine's Day gifts last night. We gave Evan a card and a little mini Mickey Beanie Baby. He loved the card more than Mickey. We then posed him this morning with his Valentine shirt on.

Evan is our little heart breaker. He always has lots of personality on his face. Watch out girls!

Vince gave me tulips, a new bathroom sink faucet, and some home automation things for our house. I gave him a laser. We are very romantic. To top it all off, Evan spent that night at his grandparent's house while Vince & I had dinner at the Waffle House. We were all alone there, having the restaurant to ourselves. The service, food, and parking was great!

Evan at 11 Months Old

Wow has time flown! I can't believe my baby is 11 months old. He will be celebrating his first birthday next month. Evan has been learning so many things this past month. He has made some major milestones. Here are some things my baby is up to this past month:

He can pick up cereal and put it in his mouth
He can pick up yogurt bites and eat it
He can hold his sippy cup if he's leaning back (otherwise he doesn't like to tip it up to get anything out of it)
He can hold his own book & turn the pages on his own (I think he reads it too)
He babbles all the time about everything
He gets so excited when mommy or daddy get home
He can empty out the toys in his basket and toss the empty basket over his head
He rolls to get to all his toys
He is trying so hard to get up on his hands and knees but it only lasts about a second before he flattens out on his tummy
He now likes to hold things in each hand and bang them together
He can take off his shoes and socks in just a couple of seconds
He goes number 1 and 2 in the potty quite often.
He gets very excited when Mickey Mouse Clubhouse comes on TV
He still sleeps from 9pm to 7am every night
His feeding schedule is about every 3 hours or so:

Formula in bottle
2 T oatmeal cereal, Stage 2 fruit, yogurt bites, puffs, formula
2 T rice cereal, Stage 2 meat, yogurt bites, puffs, formula
2 T rice ceral, Stage 2 veggie, yogurt bites, puffs, formula
Formula in bottle

Evan really loves every food we've given him. He eats anything (just like his daddy).
He doesn't miss a beat & notices every noise, person, and toy around him.
He is starting to fuss now when I leave the room, but is still a very happy baby
He wears size 9 - 12 months
He wears size 2 diaper and size 2 shoe
He's over 16 pounds
His hair grows at least 1/4" per week

In the above picture, I had trimmed his bangs just 15 days earlier to above his eye brows so his helmet doesn't push them in his eyes. They grow fast! So in the below picture, we try to brush them to the side.
