Big Weekend

Wow! Evan had such a big weekend. Lots of firsts. We started by turning Evan's crib into a "big boy bed."  He hasn't quite figured out that there's not much keeping him in his room or from playing with his toys in the middle of the night, but we're not in a hurry to tell him this.  When he woke up the first morning, he called out for mommy and daddy and then told us he wanted to come in our room. Too cute.
On Saturday morning Evan went for his first bike ride in his new bike seat.  He liked it so much that he fell asleep on his second ride.  The seat must be comfortable!
We hit the beach for the first time this summer too. Of course Evan loved it.  Then, after all these fun events, we capped off the weekend with one final "first."  Yes, Evan threw up for the first time (other than baby spit up) this weekend.  He'd had too much fun swimming and gulping up kiddy pool water at a friend's house, and then choked a bit on a chip during dinner which led to a wicked throw up scene. All over mommy.  It was awesome.  A bath (and shower for mommy) later, and we were all good.  He's sleeping soundly now in his "new" bed.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

New Bed!

He's working on mastering his dismount.

Looking a little worried.
 
He settled in and enjoyed the ride.

Another Sleep Over

Cousin Grayson was able to come over this weekend and spend the night. The kiddos are really starting to enjoy the sleep overs. So much so in fact, that they had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. They were up before 5am Saturday morning! Evan made up for it with a monster afternoon nap.

Here's a video of the two at dinner... 

They both really like the "Freight Train" book

Playing together in the morning

The 5am wake up call is starting to hit the boys...

Sunday morning, we built Evan a Duplo Garage... he had couple of his cars in it and said they were sleeping.

Springtime fun

Evan is loving the spring weather we've been having.  He has grown so much and is getting into everything!  A run-in with a bee last weekend has left him a little leery of flying insects.  He told me last night that they were all going to fly away.  And then he eyed anything with wings very cautiously for a while, until he figured out how fun it is to help mommy plant in the garden!  And suddenly everything must be done, "by myself."  We think he'll be mowing the lawn by himself by the end of June:)

Our "little dude" wearing a new pair of shoes... he's about
to meltdown - not crazy about new footwear.

Gorgeous weather this weekend.. we took the Matchbox cars outside

He's saying "Here Daddy," and giving me a car
to drive around with him.

And we got to eat dinner outside too.

Evan helped Mommy out in the garden.

Not afraid to get his hands dirty.

 
Helping water the new plants
Such a good little helper...

Singing and Being Silly

It's crazy how fast he's growing up!   Evan continues to surprise us every day, with new little funny things he'll say or do.  On the way home from a sleep over with his cousin Grayson, Evan said, "somebody tooted in Grayson's room."  I laughed of course (potty humor is funny, right?) and then asked him, "who tooted in Grayson's room?"  Evan's reply was honest and quick: "Evan tooted in Grayson's room."  Then he burst out laughing.
He's also begun singing more.  Could it be because his mama is always singing???

Evan singing "You Are My Sunshine" with Mommy... adorable.

We're still doing this...
