Growing up so quickly!

Getting ready to get into the pool ...

He loves his boat .... relaxing with grandma!

His little shaded condo - taking a quick snooze

Laying around after a long, relaxing swim

Sitting up in his bumbo

Look at this precious face ...

Worn out after Emily's baby shower!

Bath time!

Franklin thinks he needs a bath too!!!!

Evan is 18 weeks this week! I am slowly losing track of weeks and counting months. So, he is technically 4 1/2 months! Hard to believe - especially since he went from being a small 6 lbs to a whopping 15 lbs. He has grown sooo much. Almost every time I work, I look back at the posts when we first had him and look through all of his pictures. It is amazing
how much he has changed, yet he still has the same big blue eyes, dimples, serious faces, personality traits, and more.

This summer has been here and nearly gone in a flash! We have made it to the pool a few times, however, it seems that I have to pack the whole entire house just to make that trip. Evan loves to be out and about, so we are out more than in. The last few days have been trying because we have all been sick, therefore staying in the house. He is just a little go-geter and gets bored at home - plus he loves to ride in the car!

He is going to be sitting up before we know it. He is almost there, just a couple more weeks or so. He looks like a little man when he is sitting up! We still have no teeth, but have been teething for nearly a month and a half, at least. He always has his hands (trying to get both in there) or a toy in his mouth. He is still trying very hard to hold his own bottle, but hasn't quite figured it out. In fact, he will get in a little shoving match with me. I try to hold it for him, he just pushes and pushes - the bottle then flies over his head. He is going to be quite the little independent guy when he gets older - I can just see it now! :) He rolled over 2 times in one night last week, but hasn't done it since. I am not sure if it was pure luck, or he is starting to try and figure it out. It is hard to work with him on rolling because he hates to be on his tummy for tummy time - since he sleeps on his tummy. He thinks I am trying to make him go to sleep, instead of letting him play!

After I work this weekend, Jason and I are off for 7 days together! We plan on doing some major cleaning and organizing of the house. We are going to attempt to take Evan on his first zoo trip - but it doesn't look like the weather is going to be too favorable! It will be nice to spend the week together regardless. It seems like Jason and I never really get to spend time together with Evan as a family, so I am looking forward to having this week to focus on us and do whatever we want!
