Happy Halloween!

Evan wore his Tigger costume from Grandma Becker. We went to the mall and walked around so he could look at all the other kids dressed up. Everyone kept saying how cute he was and he was the only one wearing a Tigger costume.

Guess what?!?!?!

We just found out earlier this evening that we are pregnant AGAIN! We are so excited and can't wait for Evan to have a little brother or sister.

First word...

Evan said "Da-Da" last week when we were in Dallas visiting my family. Jason was in Ohio for work, so I had Evan say it over the phone for him. It's so cute to hear him talking! He mumbles a whole bunch of other "words" but says "da-da" all the time. In the car, when he's eating, when he wakes up from a nap I can hear him through the monitor saying it over and over.

He pulls himself up on furniture and walks along it. He's knocked his face quite a few times but nothing seems to stop him. Upstairs at my mom's there are 3 steps from my brothers room to my sisters and sure enough he was climbing up them! He can stand by himself sometimes. It's funny to watch him try and balance. We've been trying 3rd foods and he's doing really well.

And the best thing of all...he gives kisses!! If you say "kisses" while your holding him, he pauses and leans forward. It's so sweet and he will grab my neck and kiss my chin. He is such a sweet little boy!

He's always happy

8 months old!

Evan turned 8 months old this past Sunday. I can't believe in less than 4 months my lil' baby will be a year old! He has quite the personality. He's goofy, happy, determined, stubborn and loud. He makes this growling sound all the time and it's so loud. I guarantee every person in a store can hear him! He smiles the whole time he does it, it's hysterical. He has 2 teeth and crawls everywhere. He pulls himself up onto furniture and sometimes even lets go! He'll end up standing by himself for a few seconds and then falls down. He is a daredevil!! He is a very friendly baby, and reaches out to everyone. He loves to give people hugs and sometimes even gives kisses (which are so slobbery but cute haha).
