EVAN is WALKING!

So ... I know you guys were expecting First Birthday pictures, but we have something better.

EVAN WALKING!

(VIDEO)

I decided this evening that we would practice. I stood him up just to see how long he could balance for and if that little boy didn't walk all the way to the rocking chair! He was so excited and that was all we did the rest of the evening.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday our miracle baby Evan,

Happy Birthday to you!

One Day Old, 9 Pounds 3 ounces, Calm Before The Storm.

365 Days Old, 25 pounds, The Storm.

We love you to pieces and can't wait for what's to come!

Santa Take Two!

Well, our first experience with Santa wasn't good, but this one was great! He took the time to let Evan ease into the situation and what do you know? Before long, they were giving five and talking about Evan's favorite ... puppies!

Of course no smiles for the camera.

Buna!

We made a surprise visit to Buna this past weekend to visit Evan's Great Ma and Great Aunt Janet. We had a great day and can't wait to go back!

This was brought out for Evan to try and nap, but Bear called it first. As you can tell, Evan didn't mind.

Evan had the best time playing with this little tricycle.

Snow Day!

What a lucky boy Evan is! I was 13 before I saw snow!

Well, we didn't get as much as everyone else, but we got enough to get the camera out ...

And what do you do on snow days?!? Play fun games with Grammie!

That's it?

Evan's First Trip to Visit Bass Pro & Santa!

We stopped off at a park to take a break from the car.

We made it!

Hello, fishy.

Evan loved the trains in Santa's Wonderland.

However, he did NOT like Santa. This is the best picture I have with him and Santa in the same shot.

~Christmas Pictures~

Joel and Nichole took some Christmas pics for us and these were a handful of our fabulous results ...

He quickly proved this shirt true!

I think he needs more toys for his birthday, don't you?
