Happy 18 Months, Evan!

We love you so much, Little E!

Vocabulary explosion

Evan's vocabulary is starting to explode! Our little man is starting to say more and more words everyday. Such a smart little guy :)

Today, we were eating ice cream outside, and a little bird was under our table. He pointed to it, and said something close to sounding like "bird"...so cute!

Some recent new words:
*eyes
*nose
*mouth
*bird
*shoes
*choo choo
*night-night
*car
*banana (nana)

Slacking off...

...with blogging. It's been busy around here...school, work, chasing around an active toddler, and listing our house for sale. I promise to catch up soon :)

Evan's vocabulary

What he's saying now (not including animal sounds)...

mama
dada/daddy
Katie
sit
more
keys
uh oh (too funny...he'll say it when he drops something)
golf ball (anything golf-related)
hi
shake, shake, shake (when we shake up his nighttime bottle)

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting. And there are lots of things he says in phrases/sentences, but we have no idea of what he's saying!

My cool lil' dude :)

Two years ago today...

I found out I was pregnant with Evan! What a happy day! But...Nate didn't find out until the next morning. It didn't seem like the type of news to share over the phone while he was at work...I wanted to tell him in person :)

Two surgeries this week

Evan's eye surgery is this Friday morning...for his clogged tear duct. I learned he will be under general anesthesia which will require him to be intubated during the short procedure. I can't wait until this is all over! I just want his poor little eye repaired.

Our older dog Katie will be having surgery tomorrow morning. A couple months ago she started to limp...it would come and go. We thought it might be related to arthritis. You would never know it really bothered her as she sprints after squirrels in our back yard. She pays the price though, as she limps around our house. X-rays determined she has a torn ACL in her right rear leg.

Keep our little Evan and our furbaby Katie in your prayers...
