Fall

It's been a busy month and we're clearly behind on blog entries.  So here's a set of pictures showing what we've been up to.

Evan's crawling shoes.  We retired these the day he started walking independently.  Good thing because the velcro was worn down to 1 string on the right shoe - maybe that influenced Evan's decision to walk too?  "My shoes are about to fall apart, and mom won't let me wear my new ones while I crawl, so maybe I should start walking."

Evan carrying around his two favorite library books.  He still LOVES the library - he points at it every time we drive by and goes crazy over his new books.

Showing off his new haircut and the sticker he got for not causing the hairdresser to quit her job that day. Nice job buddy!

Taking a stroll in the driveway.  Tongue out of course!

Evan really wanted to help make cookies, so since the mixer was doing most of the work, he and daddy "mixed" their own batch.

Evan patiently waiting for the cookies to finish baking.

Even though it's getting darker earlier, Evan still wants to go out to play after dinner.  Here he was making a sweet chalk drawing on the sidewalk.

A walk at dusk in the neighborhood - we figured out after this picture was taken that he was walking to the park.   He was more than disappointed when we told him it was too late.

Evan checks out the 4-foot Lil' Red that Auntie Toby lent us on game day.  He wasn't too sure about it, but warmed up to it and ended up sporting a Nebraska t-shirt for the game.  (He refused to change into a gopher t-shirt at halftime)

Evan fell asleep in the car after a rainy shopping trip last weekend.  This was one of the times we successfully transferred him from his car seat to his bed for a nap.
