Milwaukee Brewers

While in Wisconsin, we made a trip to Miller Park to see Daddy's favorite baseball team: the Brewers. Evan was decked out in his gear: a "my first Brewer's tee" shirt and spiffy tennie-runners. We had excellent seats behind home plate, and Evan the little socialite made good friends with the people in the row behind us.

The game was a good one, though it didn't end the way we hoped. Evan learned the rules of baseball from daddy, and cheered loudly for his favorite players. He didn't quite understand why Manny was being booed, but joined in the noise with gusto. He saw the Sausage Race, and got a photo with Mommy's favorite: the #4 Hot Dog. He tried valiantly to stay awake for the whole game, but finally fell asleep after the 7th inning stretch.

We think he really likes baseball!

At the Airport

The Pariseau family went home to Wisconsin for a summer vacation. We visited family and saw the sights of South Eastern Wisconsin. To get there, Evan went on his second trip in an airplane. We did have transfers this time, but he still did great on all the legs! Some people on the plane said they didn't even know a baby was on board. Evan did make friends with the people sitting in the row behind us, but he mostly slept on all the flights.

Still no flight wings though. Do they still exist?

Ernie Dog

Evan and Ernie are bonding more and more. Each definitely knows the other is there, and they often sneak over to investigate what's the other is doing. It's a challenge to keep them interested in their separate toys! As the relationship grows, they'll soon ll be chasing each other around the yard.

Big Boy Car Seat

Evan graduated from infant seat to a true car seat recently. He simply outgrew the baby seat... he's too tall! Plus, him in the seat was getting way too heavy for us to carry. Now Evan has big boy seats installed in both mommy's and daddy's cars. It's a fun new adventure!

Happy 4th of July!

It's Evan's first 4th of July! He was all decked out in a star covered shirt and shorts, happily showing his red, white, and blue. The weather was great today, and we had a nice picnic lunch and played outside. He got to see his first fireworks tonight - playing with sparklers in the backyard with mommy and daddy! Ernie was a little scared, but Evan took it all in. All the fun today made him a very tired boy!

A Toy Hurricane

Playing with just one toy at a time isn't enough for this little man. No, his favorite activity is to pull every item within his sight, toy or not, off the shelf or out of the bucket and sit happily in the mess, looking at his colorful little kingdom. It's the bestest way ever to spend a lazy weekend morning, that's for sure. Hmm - which item to chew on next?

Stand Up!

Looking back at previous posts, we can easily see the progression of Evan getting bigger and stronger. In the beginning all his photos were laying down. Then we moved to laying on the stomach. Then sitting in the chair while he got taller and taller. Then he was crawling. Now he won't sit still in the chair long enough for a photo, and would much much rather stand up. Needless to say, it's nearly impossible for him to stay in any one place long enough to get a good shot, but one thing's for sure - this little man is growing up!
