Two Months!

Evan seems to be growing so fast. He spends alot of time studying new objects. He especially likes his stuffed animals, Gill (the Fisher-Price aquarium fish in his crib), our faces, mirrors, and the little animals that hang above the pack and play. Now that the weather has improved, Evan has been spending more time outside. It's so much fun to watch him look around and take it all in. He is getting better at holding his head up too. Evan has had a few more nights of sleeping for 6 to 8 hour stretches. Keep your fingers crossed that he keeps this up!
I started back to work this week. I'm only going in two or three short days per week for now. I'll be back full time in December. Meme has been watching Evan in the afternoons that I work. I dread taking him to daycare in December, but we will make the best of it.
Evan had his two month check-up yesterday. He weighs 11 pounds and 12 ounces and is 22 1/2 inches long. Unfortunately, it was also time for his first round of shots. Poor little angel. I have never seen him so upset. He didn't cry for long, but it just broke my heart. He was a little fussy yesterday, but woke up smiling this morning. Hopefully he's already feeling better.

Evan was so happy as we were getting him ready to go to the doctor. He had no clue what was in store for today.

"Yipee. I'm 8 weeks old today!""What? I'm not going to spend the day at Meme's?""What's a shot?"

Halloween

Evan was a tiger for his first Halloween. Evan wore his costume to the Country Club for lunch on Saturday. We didn't go to the carnival or trick-or-treating this year, but we had fun nonetheless. Grandpa and Aunt Rachel were in town for the weekend from South Carolina. We all enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend in Lake Village. I can't wait for Geoff's family to visit again, and next time we hope to see Amy too!

Sweet Sleeping Baby

I took these pictures one morning that Evan decided to sleep in. It is rare that I wake up before he does. I just love these pictures of my sweet, sweet, baby.
