Little monkey had his 6 month appointment today. Here are his stats:
18 lbs. 4 oz. (75th percentile)
28 1/4 in. tall (95th percentile - big surprise!)
He is getting so big! He did well with his shots. He cried for about 3 seconds, and then I gave him his keys that light up, and all was well with the world again. Poor guy was really tired tonight though, so he went to bed early.
Still having trouble loading pictures.... :(

Dear Evan...
Dear Evan,
I cannot believe that you are six months old already! Wow, how time has flown. I remember when Daddy and I used to go in your room and look into the empty crib and talk about what it would be like when you were here. We would daydream about what it was going to be like to have a baby and all the things we couldn't wait to do with you. We would take turns sitting in the glider in your room every single night letting our imaginations run wild with visions of what life would be like with you here. We really had no idea how you would change our life. I never knew it would be even better than I could ever imagine. I never knew that my life WOULD change, and it would be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never knew I could love like this. You have changed me forever, and I am so grateful that God chose me to be your mommy. Happy half birthday, my sweet little one.
Love,
Mommy

It's almost here!
Summer is coming, and it is so close! I have 8 more days of school until my title officially changes to FULL TIME MOMMY (at least for a few weeks)! Evan has been having a lot of firsts lately, and it has made me look forward to summer even more!
On June 5, we went to Sea Isle City, NJ for the day. We go every summer, and we were so excited about taking Evan there. Our two year wedding anniversary was on June 7, so we decided to do a day trip as our gift to each other. After Evan woke up, we loaded up and headed out. We stopped in Ocean City, NJ and walked along the boardwalk. It was soooooo hot! We ended up going into each of the arcades, jewelry stores and candy stores just to get into the air conditioning! Evan seemed to enjoy it, and he napped for awhile as we strolled the boardwalk. After OC, we headed down to Sea Isle. We drove to the beach house that Stan's Aunt Dawn and Uncle Bob rent for the summer, and I fed Evan while we waited for them to get there. We decided to take a stroll down and check out the beach while we waited. Evan got to put his feet in the sand for the first time. He was pretty indifferent. :) A gully had formed, so we put his tiny little feet in there. The water was pretty warm because it was shallow, and the tide was out, so there wasn't any new water filling it up. He happily stood there for awhile, and then we decided to take him out to the ocean water. It was really cold, and he screamed! He was not a fan AT ALL. If we even bent over with him in our arms he screamed because he thought we were putting him back in the water. Poor guy! After our visit with Dawn, Bob and Marie, we kept heading south to Cape May for dinner at The Lobster House (yum!). After that, we were on the road again. Evan slept the whole way home (since it was his bedtime). NJ loved Evan. We must have had about 10-12 people tell us what a good baby he was. Of course, I totally agree! He makes Stan and I look good! :) It was a great first trip to NJ for Ev, and a wonderful anniversary weekend for Stan and I.
While we're on the topic of water, I bought an inflatable pool for Evan today. Again, he wasn't a big fan of the cool water (Even though Stan filled it with warm water from the kitchen). He fussed a little bit, but he sat there for awhile. I felt like I was torturing him, so I eventually took him out.
He is teething, but he doesn't have any teeth yet. He is chewing on everything he can get into his mouth and drooling like crazy. Solids are going well. He still hates bananas even though I try every few days. He still loves his oatmeal, and he likes the rice cereal too. In addition to the sweet potatoes, we have done applesauce, pears, carrots and green beans. He's liked all of those so far, but his favorite is applesauce! He has continued to be an awesome sleeper. He usually sleeps from 6:30pm until 6:30am, and he is so happy all the time. I can't believe that he will be 6 months old this week! His 6 mo appointment is 6/25. I can't wait to see how big he is. He is wearing 9 mo clothes, but he can fit into the 12 mo one pieces (he wears 12 mo footie jammies).
Well, it is 10:15, so that means I'm late for bed! :) I'll post pictures soon!
