Evan at 16 Months Old

Evan went to his 15 month check up when he was 16 months old. He is doing so great. He is still small on the weight scale - still under 17 pounds, but he has grown about 3 inches. So he still gets to ride facing backwards in the car for now. He is on the 5% curve for weight and the 50 - 75% curve for height.

He eats all the time, but is burning off all of his calories. Evan is a boy on the move all the time now. He crawls, stands, cruises, and dances all day long. He is down to about one nap a day and loves eating all kinds of foods. We are working on the sippy cup, but still takes a bottle a lot of the time. He keeps us all on our toes (and knees)!

Ellijay GA

A few weekends ago, we went to Ellijay, GA to enjoy the mountain air and to just get away. It was nice to go to the apple barn and get some fried pies and peaches. They always have great food. Evan also got to visit with some cousins. He was the center of attention.

He also got a new t-shirt from his cousins. He liked it.

Florida Trip

Vince and I had a great trip to Florida this year. We took off over a week in the middle of June to go all over Florida. We had a very busy, but fun time, and put lots of miles on the car. Evan was a such a good little trooper. He enjoys the car rides and sleeps a lot. Here are the highlights of our trip. One of our stops was at Universal Studios - we went there two different days. The first day we went with my cousin DeLeigh and her two kids, Andy and Jaeleine. The next time we went alone. Evan enjoyed the characters and he especially loved the Barney show. We should have just stayed there and let him watch it over and over for two days.

We also went to St. Pete to see the Dali Museum and to Clearwater to see the aquarium and beach.

The last weekend we were in Florida, we stayed at my great Aunt Wilma's new house in St. Augustine, Florida.  Her husband has built a beautiful new beach house that we enjoyed for several days.
We had several other cousins come over to visit us while we were there.

 

It was a fabulous trip and I only wish we had several more weeks to spend in Florida.
