He crawls now!

Just a short example of Evan crawling. He was more interested in the drawers and books than in demonstrating his spectacular crawling skills... He's made so much progress! He started out inchworm crawling, and has moved on to traditional crawling. He's also started pulling himself up and standing. I find him either sitting or standing in his crib when I get him in the morning or after naps now!

Two babies!

We got to watch Timothy on Tuesday for a few hours, and Parker absolutely LOVED having his cousin over. He was really sweet with him, and helpful too! He kept telling me, extremely excitedly, that we had "two babies!" He kept trying to share toys, and trying to make "baby Timmy" smile. I didn't manage to capture Timothy's sweet smile though...

Reading buddies

Evan has devoloped a new love and appreciation for books, which coincides perfectly with Parker's new love of reading! These are some pictures of Parker "reading" to Evan. They both enjoyed it. I especially love it when they're cuddling. These boys most definately love each other!

Crib pals

So, Parker absolutely LOVES to climb in the crib with Evan. I actually have to make sure that I get to Evan when we wakes up before Parker does. Now that we've lowered the crib, it's even easier for Parker to get in there, but harder for Evan to get out...

Parker v Carpet

Parker's unfortunate...incident... involving his forehead and the carpet during a temper tantrum :( But, the bandaid made everything "all bellah!"

So, Thomas has gone off to North Dakota for another summer to be the amazing contractor that he is, to build grain bins, aiding farmers in desperate need of storage, and to help change the lives of everyone he meets! Really, he's just going to build bins, and earn money. Although, I'm sure that he will still be a wonderful influence on those around him!

Evan

Here are some beautiful pictures that my sister-in-law, Katrina, took of Evan at my nephew Isaac's 8th birthday. She's amazing! And, Evan's a cutie!
