Evan eating bananas

5 month update- Evan weights 17lbs 3oz and is 27inches long. We started him back on rice cereal and added bananas for the first time yesterday ( see attached video on it!). Evan is sooo close to sleeping through the nite. For about the last week he has been waking up between 4 or 5am for a feeding then falls back to sleep until 6 or 7ish. So if we could just get him to go for 1 or 2 more hours mommy would know what a full nights sleep feels like! He is slowing starting to develop longer naps and takes at least 2 naps a day that are at least 1 hour long. He has had a cough and runny nose for the last few days but no fever, from what I have heard it may be because of teething. He has been a emotional roller coaster the last few weeks ( baby pms) I was worried that he was getting spoiled already :(, if he didn't get what he wanted he would scream then once he got it he would be giggling again, but thankfully what I read in this book, that follows babies development for the first year, they are going through a phase where they don't know how to deal with all of their emotions and they will mellow back out in a few weeks. Evan is sitting up really well, but not quite on his own, I think its only a matter of a few more weeks. His favorite things to do right now are sit in his high chair and play with kitchen gadgets and of course watch Baby Einstein. Its been really warm lately and Evan has got to wear shorts, he has the cutest cangles in the world!!! I will try and get a pic and post later. We are meeting Ryan's family in Florida in a few weeks so I am sure I will get lots of great leg shots then :)

Evan's Family Reunion

Well there is sooo much to update so I thought I would do good old fashion bullet point to make sure I remembered everything and don't bore my readers!

-Evan met his cousins Madeline and Jackson and his Aunt Rachel and Uncle Matt for the first time this week when they came into town from California to visit. His Aunty Sarah, Uncle Jason, and cousin Elise also visited from Ohio which Evan already met back in February.

-Evan ate rice cereal for the first time and got his first bad diaper rash because of it :(, so we are back to a strictly liquid diet
- After a lot of coercing Evan got another hair cut, and his baby locks are all gone :( and now he looks like his his ready to leave for the army with his buzz cut :(

-Evan went to his first zoo this weekend when we visited the Wild Wilderness Drive Thru Safari.

-Evan and his cousins all got their pictures taken together.

-If Evan can see it he wants to grab it and put it in his mouth. Before Evan was really only attracted to his toys, but now he wants my mascara, my menu, my cup, basically he wants it all and he wants it in his mouth!

- I know this sounds weird to some people but after Evan got his hair cut he found his hair, he rubs on his head all the time now.

-Well as mentioned in a lot of my blogs Evan hasn't been the best napper, 30 minutes naps is all we were getting. The last few weeks majority of his first nap of the day is lasting over 1.5hrs!
