He's so smart!

Since it was such a pretty day today, we went outside to play for a little while. We have an area in the front yard where the the grass ends and there is a border of stone, and then some rock right up next to the house. Well, while we were playing outside, Evan discovered that there were some rocks that were out of place. He then spent the next ten minutes or so moving each rock that was in the grass (one by one, mind you) back over to be with it's other rock buddies. He was really having fun with it! I was impressed that he recognized that they were not where they should be. Smart guy!

Flowers!

No, we have not been lucky enough to have an early spring. But, we did go to the Garden and Home Show. It was a little different than I thought it would be, but was still fun to see some flowers!! Evan enjoyed sniffing them!

My Valentine...

Bass Pro Shop

We took Evan to Bass Pro last weekend to look at all the "animals". He had fun and really liked looking at the big fish tank.

However, Casey and Evan were almost eaten by a bear!! Just kidding.
And Evan found a 4-Wheeler that he really liked.

Eating...and Reading

At breakfast lately, Evan is like this little old man who reads the paper (well...he reads a book) and eats his food. He's pretty interested - and really cute!

Family

Casey's brother and his family came out for a visit at the end of January. It was really fun to see them! We miss you guys!

Attempted Kisses...

I always try to get Benny to give me kisses, which he never does because he hates it when you are face to face. So, I told Evan to try...and this is as close as he got!

Since Benny wouldn't give any kisses, Evan decided to check out his ear instead. :)

My Little "Sponge"

Lately, I feel like Evan is saying more and understanding more every day! He is saying new words all the time, and seems to be able to understand more things when I talk to him. He really is a sponge! A crazy 2-year old girl at Walmart came up to our cart and was talking about bubbles. Sure enough, as soon as we left he started saying "bubble". He's been learning how to give kisses too! I always tell Benny to give me a kiss and stick my face in his face (he HATES looking eye to eye) and when Evan hears me say that, he makes kissey noises. He even made his kissey noises in the car the other day when a line in a song said, "When you kiss me...". He also likes to mimic me when I get frustrated and made a "uggh" noise. He really is too funny and so smart! He's always "chatting", and loves to do things to make you laugh. I can't wait until he is really talking so I can hear what goes on in that sweet little head of his!

*Some other words that Evan is saying..."go; no, no; ma ma; daddy; Daisy; Benny; apple; puppy; cool; uh oh; knee; baby; nose; and I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now. He also makes some good noises...he can "woof", grunt, make mouse noises, moo, and he loves to "sing"!
