mama...mama...mama....

Evan can say MAMA. He says it over and over all day long.

I love it. Derek is jealous!

I know what you're thinking....he is too young to really know what he is saying and it is only baby talk. BUT last Thursday morning when I peaked into his crib to get him up in the morning, he looked right at me, smiled and yelled, "MAMA MAMA MAMA." 

What do you think?

In other Evan news:

 

• Evan can hold his own bottle and actually prefers it to others holding it for him. It is so cute how he wraps his little fingers around the end of the bottle instead of the middle. 

• Evan takes his binky in and out all by himself. Usually it ends up back in his mouth up-side-down, but I'm starting to think he likes it like that because he never changes it. I would like this trick even more if he could master putting it in the middle of the night and make it so Derek and I don't have to get up and do it for him.

• Evan went swimming for the first time last week. He didn't really love it, but he also didn't hate it. He looked super cute in his new striped skeleton pirate swim trunks with all his rolls hanging out. I dunked him under the water a couple times to get him used to it. I remember my dad doing the same thing to Abby when she was the same age and she SCREAMED and SCREAMED. Evan was the exact opposite. It didn't even phase him.

Looking at him now...I'm wondering if he is going to end up in "slims" too. I remember Syd being about his size one minute and the next, she'd shot up like a bean plant and was skinny as the bean pole! He's adorable. You've been so blessed with portable adorable kids.
