Hey you, yes you, please comment :)

I know that so many of you read this blog regularly (like you Brian), but no one, except my friend Aditi ever comments (thank you Aditi). I know, you have to create a google account, but that only takes a few seconds and would mean SO much to me! please, please, please??? i know, i'm begging, but i would LOVE comments.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

I think that your favorite part of the day, besides bath time, is when you eat bananas. You are so big, you feed them to yourself. I wasn't so crazy about this at first, but you insist and you are pretty stubborn and won't let me feed them to you. Sometimes a whole banana is not enough, you are still hungry for more after you finish. We are sure to keep plenty of bananas in the house for you! We just tried oranges yesterday and you loved them. Those should be easy to come by with all the orange groves in our backyard ;)!

Looking like a little boy

Lately, you've really been looking like a little boy. You have become such a handsome little guy, although you were always a cute baby too! You have grown quite a bit in the last month. You weigh about 23 1/2 pounds (2 pounds more then a month ago!) and have grown about an inch. You've gained more weight in the last month then you did from 6-12 months! Here are some recent pictures with Dad. Watching you today, walking could be very soon....

Swinging

Evan loves his new outdoor toy, the castle slide & swing. Gotta love Florida in January!

Some pics of the house

We are working on blinds and curtains, but here are some pics of the family room and kitchen. Also of Evan's favorite toy-the stairs!

Sea World

Yesterday Evan and I took advantage of living in Orlando in January, we went to Sea World. We had the best time. Evan LOVED the animals, especially all the birds. Who knew there were so many birds at Sea World? We saw the sea lion and otter show and the Dolphin and Bird Show. The Dolphin show was amazing, we both loved it, I enjoyed the acrobatics, Evan couldn't get enough of the gorgeous birds. The park was empty and we were really able to enjoy ourselves, we could get up close to everything, even dolphins. We will definitely be heading back soon.

Merry Christmas (there are 12 days of Christmas, right?)

Merry Christmas to all!

Evan and Avery celebrating their first Christmas together


We had a wonderful Christmas in Maryland and were able to celebrate with all of Joe's family as well as Bryan, Laura and the Pillor clan. It was so nice being able to spend time with everyone before our big move. Evan had a great time playing with his cousins, Nani, Pop, aunts, uncles, etc. and although he doesn't quite get the present thing, he sure said WOW a lot! We hope that you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas and that 2008 is treating you well so far. I promise to put up some pictures of our new house soon. Still unpacking and getting things settled...
