Bag Man

Evan has learned a lot from Mommy; most recently, the value of a good bag. He's taken to carrying bags around the house whenever he can. He digs diaper bags out of the closet, work bags from the office, and lunch bags from the pantry. Here he's carrying a Pooh diaper bag around the house, and his favorite, a custom-made AUCD diaper bag from one of my colleagues. They're just his size, and so much fun!

Animal Sounds Update

Here's a better video of Evan's animal sounds repertoire; in the original animal sounds post Evan refused to do all his sounds at once, so we pieced them together. Today he was a much better performer! Duck has always been his favorite, in fact that was pretty much his first word, but he's excellent at the rest now. He can spot a cow a mile away and has been known to moo in the backseat of the car when we pass a farm...it must be his Wisconsin blood.

Bedtime Update

Remember Evan's great bed time routine? He's added some new tricks! There are better (read: sloppier) kisses for us all, and even a great kiss for Ernie. Here's a minute of his kisses for everyone. We sure do love this little man!

Chores

Evan is busy growing up and being a good helper. He loves to feed Ernie, even if his aim isn't that good, and he helped take out the garbage today. He was more than happy to carry the trash bag to the back door. It sure makes chores more fun when you have a happy little helper. Thanks, Evan!

Pfft!

It's true - be careful what you teach a kiddo! Mike was teasing me at dinner, so I stuck my tongue out at him and made raspberry sounds. Evan thought it was hilarious, and immediately tried it himself. He was spitting like a pro in seconds. Not 15 minutes later, he used it appropriately too... He was standing in a chair, so I asked him to sit - after all, chairs are for sitting! He turned, looked me square in the eye, and blew a big "Pffft!" How do we un-teach this one??

Body Parts

Evan's been working hard at school. Not only does he know the sounds animals make, but he can identify a lot of body parts! He'll be singing Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes in no time.

Animals

What does a cow say? How about a fish? A cat? And a duck? Evan knows them all!
