Evan Matching

So today during Evan's nap I laminated some shapes in different colors and sizes so we could work on his shapes, colors, matching, sizes, sorting, etc. When he woke up from his nap we played with them. We started with matching first. And the very first time he got it. I was shocked!! We had never done anything like this before!! So we immediately did it again and this time I got it on video. I just can't believe how quickly they are learning at this age!!

Valentines Day

Ryan's parents were in town last weekend so Ryan and I got to enjoy a nice Valentines night out. Sunday morning the boys made heart shape pancakes. It was adorable watching Evan and Grandpa Bob in their matching plaid pj bottoms and navy shirts.

Last week Evan played with Play Doh for the first time. He was very excited and got the hang of it right away. I was shocked I figured there would be a lot of him trying to eat it, but there wasn't at all.

The other day Evan took all the lids out of the bottom of the stove drawer and then got inside and then proceed to put all the lids in there with him. He has a really mischeivious look on his face in the photo's.. not sure if you will be able to tell though.

That's My Boy!

Well Evan may look just like his father but he is definitely my son. He loves to clean, eat, put shoes on, and play with my makeup. Ryan has said several times he is worried about Ev's love for cleaning products and makeup :) Attached is a video of Evan helping me clean, he loves to get out the dry mop and clean under the couch for me. He sees me do this almost daily because the dust bunnies are so noticeable on our dark floors. Yesterday he dropped his cup of milk from his high chair and it spilled. I got a rag out and cleaned the floor. When he was done eating he went into the pantry got a rag and started cleaning the floor around his high chair. Then proceed to clean the windows. A few days ago I was putting on Evan's shoes and coat so we could go run errands. He ran to the back door and started hitting it to let me know he was ready. I told him "hold on mommy has to get her shoes on" he then ran into my closet and brought me a pair of boats and he was saying "shoe". Ev has been loving his food the last few days, I think he is going thru a little growing spurt. He was real upset the other day and I couldn't figure out what he wanted. So I said " Ev show me what you want" he ran into the kitchen and started hitting the frig door and then was reaching for the handle. He wanted another stick of cheese because I guess the stick of cheese and 2 graham crackers he had 10mins before that wasn't filling enough.

I have been slacking!, but I am back!

I feel like I haven't updated in forever! Lets see whats been going on..
Well we have gotten lots of snow. It snowed a few weeks ago and we got to go outside and play in it. Evan loved it!! Of course we don't have appropriate snow gear so we couldn't stay out too long, I think it was in the teens or twenty's that day. It snowed again about 8inches last weekend, but Ev was sick with another ear infection, so he didn't get to go out and play in it for a few days, when he did he just likes to walk out in the street and stomp on the snow puddles and eat icecycles.
