Brynn counts!

I'm so proud of the little booger...learning all sorts of new things!

10 months

Time needs to slow down a little bit!  How are we so close to the little man's 1st birthday???  Evan is such a happy little guy!  Whenever we are out and people stop to talk to him, he always flashes them a smile or two!  Such a little charmer.

We won't have another official weight on him until his 1 year appointment, but our best guess is about 20 1/2 to 21 pounds.  Such a big guy, in comparison to Brynn at least.  He still only has two teeth and we can't see any on the horizon.  Still eating 4 bottles and solids 3 times a day, although, he seems to have stopped liking baby food.  Can't say I blame him!  So we have been on real food in tiny pieces and he seems to like it much better!

He is a pretty good sleeper {:::feverishly knocking on wood:::} and takes two naps a day!  And he is still doing the army crawl...not sure if he is ever going to legitimately crawl.  He does get up on his knees every so often, but when he wants to move he flops back on his belly and drags himself along!  It is actually pretty funny to watch!  He is also pulling up on everything...we have to watch him like a hawk!  He seems to forget that he can't quite stand on his own or walk yet!

Evan has added "touchdown" to his repertoire of tricks along with the occasional "high-five"!  He says "uh oh" now even if he did it on purpose and of course he still loves giving us slobbery kisses.  He really enjoys wagon rides {maybe because he can see more of what's going on around him} and his sister!  She cracks him up on a daily basis...if only I was as funny as Brynn!  :)

Park Fun!

One day last week the weather was kind of gloomy and we decided it might be a good day to go to the park.  We figured it would be pretty empty because of the weather and we were right!  We had the place to ourselves.

 Sliding with Daddy!

 Swinging is fun

 Taking her bear for a ride

 So serious!

 Going down the big slide...such a big girl!

Little Miss Shopper

We needed a few items at the grocery store the other day and we decided to let Brynn use one of the little mini shopping carts!  She had a blast pushing it around the store, loading the items in, and saying "Hi" to everyone we passed.  She even helped and had fun unloading everything onto the conveyor belt to pay.  Once I told her it was time to put the cart away, though, was another story.  I mean knock-down-drag-out tantrum where she turns into a limp noodle and when I pick her up she kicks off her shoes; all the while screaming at the top of her lungs like there is a little bug in her dress pinching her!  Good times...we might wait awhile before we re-visit the mini shopping cart.

Mother's Day 2011

I am very blessed to have two beautiful children that call me Mommy {well, one of them doesn't quite yet...but you know what I mean} and get to celebrate a day just for me!  I had a wonderful day with my family and couldn't have asked for anything more!  I am so appreciate of my Mom, Scott's Mom, our grandmas, aunts, and all the other Moms out there who helped shape Scott and my life into what it is today.  Without all your help and guidance throughout the way I wouldn't be the Mom that I am to Brynn and Evan.  Thanks again and hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Tooth 16

Brynn got tooth number 16, her bottom left canine, today.  Didn't seem to bother her and now we just have to deal with her 2 year molars.  I'm hoping they aren't too painful for her!
