Evan is looking very mischievous here. He's trying to be energetic and cute while at the same time battling sleepiness and possible hunger. But also trying to be cool, calm & collected for Auntie Kristen & Uncle Joe who are trying to get him to walk to them by enticing him with his bottle.

immunity bubble burst!

I don't remember the last time I was sick, it was definitely before I got pregnant.  I think pregnancy comes with a magical immunity bubble.  I remember people around me were sick, but I just never got anything.  Well that's all come to a crashing halt.  Last Friday Evan and I went to an kids exhibit at the zoo and there were more toddlers there than I've ever seen, ever.  And like clockwork we both came down with colds 3 days later.  But it was super fun there, but I don't think it was worth it.  Evan has had a fever and his nose has been running like a faucet.  He can't breath through his nose especially at night and it's so sad!  And that means that he's waking up at night so neither of us get our much needed rest.  :(

2 fun milestones

Evan is getting pretty good at climbing stairs...he can climb all the way to the second floor!  And Evan loves to turn the pages of his cardboard books while we read.  He almost can't wait until I finish reading the page to turn it.  Actually I'm pretty sure that he doesn't get the connection between reading and the actual book itself, funny.  Here's a picture at my parents house on New Year's Day.  It's Evan's first time wearing jeans, he looks so old!
