Best 99 Cents I Ever Spent

As we get closer to Mommy's return I'm looking for new ways to keep the little guy distracted from her absence. Auntie Toby was able to come over and watch the little guy so I could run a few errands. I found a $.99 beachball. I got the idea from our friends the Bommarito's, who have one for their boy Alvin. Holy cow, Evan loves it. not sure if it's just something new, but I think beachballs might be all the rage with 10 month olds. See below...

Small Milestones...

We tend to notice the little milestones with Evan, and it's a lot of fun. Like the first time he ate solid food, put his foot in his mouth or laughed at peek-a-boo. Today he started "sharing." It's not a huge deal but it's something new. I had to try it a bunch of times with a few different toys to see if it was for real. He seems to be pretty consistent with it.

So here's a VIDEO I took to show everybody.

Daddy & Son Weekend

Mommy is spending her first weekend away from Evan. She is in Washington DC for a conference. This will be mommy's longest time away from the little guy, and that leaves Daddy in charge. We're going to have a fun weekend. We plan on visiting cousin Grayson, Uncle Danny and Aunt Rachel, and maybe we'll have Aunt Toby over on Sunday. It'll be lots of fun, but I think we'll both be ready for Mommy to come home Sunday evening.

"Wait a second... she's where???"

Evan the Packer Backer

Evan has had a great week. He's really come out of his shell at daycare. He has been trying lots of new foods and he's starting to embrace the idea of crawling... maybe. He's been super-excited to see the Packers in the NFC Championship on Sunday. We hope he can sleep tonight!!!

Go Pack Go!

Evan continues to show signs that he's feeling better every day!  He had a playdate with his cousin Grayson today and then tried to stay awake to cheer on the Packers with their victory.  Since the game didn't start until 7:00 though, he didn't even make it out of the first quarter. 


Playing with cousin Grayson.

Evan has started actually trying to move to get to things.  He can get onto his hands and 1 knee but can't seem to figure out how to get the other knee under him.  


Having fun with daddy in the basement before the big game.

"I caught it...what am I supposed to do now?"

Feeling Better...

Evan is finally getting back to his old self, laughing, talking and playing more. He's starting to feel much better. He's been improving at daycare as well. It was unfortunate that he started his new daycare and got sick shortly after. But he had a great day there today and we're thinking he's starting to be more comfortable with the atmosphere.

Here's a VIDEO of Evan on Sunday, playing with some of his favorite cups.

Below are some photos of the little guy playing with some new books he got for Christmas...

Evan's First Cold

Our little guy had a good run, almost 9 months without getting sick. He started getting hoarse and coughing last Wednesday and was touch and go over the weekend. Then this week he started getting a little worse and we took him to the pediatrician's office Wednesday night. They told us he had RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and an ear infection. Not too serious for him at his age, but he needs to stay home the rest of the week, which means Mommy or Daddy needs to stay home the rest of the week. And he got a "Nebulizer" (photo below) and anti-biotics... FUN!!!

Here's Evan's new Nebulizer. It's just a respirator that creates a misted medication
to help clear up his lungs. The Panda shaped pump is kind of genius... he thinks it's
hilarious and it helps ease him, since he hates when people mess with his face.


This was taken Thursday around midday... not feeling great

Thursday afternoon... feeling a bit better!

Tuzynski Family Christmas

The Zimmermann's hosted the "Turzynski" side of the family Christmas on Saturday. Evan got to spend the afternoon playing with his cousin Grayson and opening gifts from the family. It was a good time, and the Zimmermann's made some awesome lasagna for dinner. Evan got a bunch more Christmas gifts. We had lots of fun and I think Evan really enjoyed his first christmas with both families (Stalder & Turzynski).

Happy New Year!

2010 was a very crazy year, in fact the entire 2000-2010 decade was pretty eventful for our little Family. Mommy and Daddy met in 2004, bought a house in 2007 and got married in 2008. This has been an awesome decade and here's to the next one.

Even the little guy is excited for the next decade... here's a VIDEO.
