That's how he rolls!!

Evan has been rolling over since he was 5 weeks, but only a few people have seen it in person. It seems as though Evan has a bit of stage fright in front of people and usually only does it for Mommy or Daddy. Just so people don't think I'm making it up....here is the proof! :)

3 months...WHAT???

My sweet little one is going to be 3 months old tomorrow! I can't believe it. It felt like it was forever waiting for him to arrive, and now he's already 3 months old! He has been so much more alert this past month, and he loves to smile and laugh. He has started grabbing at his blankets, and he has been checking out his feet, so I know it's only a matter of time before he's grabbing those too.

Sleep is still going well. He has been sleeping through the night since he was 8 weeks old (7-8 hours). We started an earlier bedtime, so he goes to sleep at 8, I feed him at 10 (which he doesn't wake up for), and he gets up around 5:30 or 6. He eats and goes back to sleep until about 9. I will miss the going back to sleep once I go back to work!

We have had lots of fun this month going to baby yoga and to storytime at the library. We have also had to go into school a few times so I could work with my student for my grad school case study, and everyone there just loves him. He is usually wide eyed as I'm pushing him down the halls - so many bright things to see. My students also love seeing him because then they are the "big kids."

I am going back to work on the 29th, and I am really sad about it. I didn't think I would love staying at home as much as I do, but we have had so much fun with our mommy group and other activities! My mom will be here that first week to watch him, and then I have spring break, so he won't actually go to daycare until April 12, but it is still something I'm not looking forward to. At the end of February, Evan had his first photo shoot. Here are a few pictures from the shoot courtesy of Beth Techtmann. They are awesome! Enjoy!

We have a 2 month old!

My little boy is over 2 months old now! Time is flying, and before you know it, I will be back to work - yuck! Evan had an eventful week last week! His Grandpa and Grandma from Tennessee came to visit on February 12. Thankfully they got here after all the snow. If it would have been a day earlier, I don't think they would have made it since flights were canceled that Thursday. We had a great time, and Evan had his first visit to the Amish market.

After we dropped Grandpa and Grandma off at the airport, we headed to Uncle Paul and Aunt Tina's house so we could take Kara her birthday present. We had a nice visit with the Pecks and Nana. Evan loved watching the kids run around (until he fell asleep).

On Monday, Evan and I headed up to Milton for his first visit to PA. He slept the whole way (thank you for answered prayers!). When we got there, he got to meet his Papa for the first time, and he was all smiles! We went to my dad's for his 60th birthday that evening, and Evan got to get loved on by his great Gram, Aunt Candi, Uncle Matt, cousins Stevon and Tyler, and of course Grammy and Pappy. Cora made a delicious meal and even better desserts! YUM!

Then we were back to Mema's for the rest of our visit. We all know that a trip to Mema's isn't complete without a shopping trip, so we did that on Tuesday. I got a cute book for Evan's Easter basket, and that's all!! Yay for self control! On Tuesday night, Evan slept from 10pm until 8am - 10 hours!! Of course, I was up for an hour waiting for him to wake up around 5am. He was so good during our whole trip. He barely napped at all (too much to watch), but he wasn't fussy. He just sat in his papasan chair as happy as can be smiling away! We are so blessed to have such a good baby!

Pictures will be coming soon...little one is waking up now. :)
