Evan - 3 months

Evan is getting bigger by the day. At three months, Evan:

• Has started to drool. I don't remember Adam's drooling starting quite this early, but we definitely have another drooler on our hands.
• Cries and cries in his crib at night. I've been bringing him into bed with me just to get some sleep, but he has a gassy tummy throughout the entire night. He also eats around 2:30 and 5:30.
• Loves bathtime!
• Has lost most of his hair, with the exception of a ring in the back.
• Has found his hands and loves to suck on them. Also really starting to grip toys.
• Is getting stronger and stronger. He can roll from his back to his side and loves to sit/stand in our laps.
• Flashes us the biggest smiles and loves to cuddle.

Now for a few new pictures...

I love this picture because both Adam and Aaron sleep with their hands like this too!

When Evan is on the floor, big brother Adam is always right there talking to him and giving him lots of love. Adam climbs into the crib with Evan too and Evan lights up with delight every time.

Evan's Baptism

Evan had a private Baptism following Mass. He did so well - he didn't fuss during mass or even when the water was poured on his head. We had a nice celebration with our families afterwards back at our house.

Happy Thanksgiving

We are thankful for the most wonderful family and friends. Here are a few pictures from both of our Thanksgiving celebrations.

*Adam also helped to make some special birthday treats, which is what you see all over his face:)

First Snowfall

Adam was so excited to go outside and play in the fresh snow! He was even more excited when our neighbors came over to play too. This is the snowman they built (with the help of the dads). He drank hot chocolate when he came inside and asked to go out again and play in it on Sunday. He was loving it which is why I couldn't help but laugh when Sunday night he told me he was sad because he missed the grass.

Soaking up the sun

These nice days are numbered, so we were sure to get outside and soak up every minute of sunshine we could!
