Me and My Tongue

Evan has been fascinated with his tongue since the day he found it. He loves to show it off to anyone who will look his way.  

Shhhh

I love a good sleeping baby picture. They always look so peaceful, I just have to capture the moment.

There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby. Except maybe a smiling one...

3 Months

Evan is no longer an infant. He is a baby quickly becoming a little boy. His new trick this month was rolling over, but he's since forgotten how to do that. He rolled from his stomach to his back 6 times in two days and has not done it since. 

He is a quiet observer. He loves to know what is going on everywhere. He is rarely very upset and not much gets him too excited; a very even tempered guy. 

Lake Life

We spent the 4th of July at our friend's parents' house on Twin Lake. We enjoyed cruising around the lake and floating by the dock while Evan sat under the shade of his umbrella watching the boats go by. We ended the day with a delicious smorgasbord of smoked meats.

We hope everybody had a happy 4th!

Baptism

Yesterday, Evan was baptized at St. James Lutheran Church. The gown he wore was made by my grandma 65 years ago for my uncle. It has been worn by 10 babies in 3 generations. The church was filled with people who love Evan.

May you always know God's love

Father's Day

Evan is so blessed to have so many wonderful men in his life. We spent Father's day with our most favorite. It was a hot, but beautiful day. 

 Evan loves his dad so much. Dad always makes Evan smile, even without trying. He is helpful, caring, and patient. He is an amazing father and husband. 

Evan and Dad

Papa Brad is fun and would do anything for us. Evan can't wait to be old enough to get into trouble with Papa.

Papa Jack has the best lap for sleeping, snuggles, and reading. Evan is always so content just sitting with Papa. Papa Jack would drop everything for us. 

Evan started the day wearing a T-shirt, pants, and socks.
Many degrees later, this how he ended up. 

Evan will no doubt grow up to be a remarkable person with all these men as examples. 

And Then This Happened

I was getting a few pictures today of tummy time.

And then this happened....

So proud of himself

Next thing we know, we'll have a walker and talker.
