My Uncle Kelby Rocks! He sent me this rockin' bib for Christmas.Here I am opening presents at my Great Aunt and Uncle Keyports for Christmas this past Saturday. I had a lot of fun with my cousin Jaxson. He's almost exactly one year older than me.
Here's Cousin Jaxon again - isn't he a cutie?Yay! Naked time! I love naked time! Its my second favorite thing next to eating. (I peed on mom about 30 seconds after this picture was taken. Luckily, it all got on mom and not on the couch.)

Yummy - butterfly.

I'm so happy!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you to all of our friends and family for making this a special Christmas for our little Evan. We have many more Christmases to come - and next year when Evan knows what "Christmas" is it will be even more fun!

Evan's encounter with the talking Santa at Great-Grandma Nelson's house. He wasn't quite sure what to think of him...

No! Don't eat the bow! It's probably made in China -

we don't want you to get lead poisoning.

Evan checking our Grandma Irvin's new snowglobe.

(It doesn't actually glow - the camera refracted the light.)
Ah-HA! Momma caught Evan red-handed trying to take a swig of Grandpa's beer!
Daddy was making Evan laugh - after five months of almost no pictures of Evan laughing or smiling we got about 15 in a row of him laughing his head off at his Daddy. It was so cute!
Evan, if your hungry Mommy has food -

you don't have to eat your socks.

HOORAY!

Our "Comments" are

finally turned on!

After eight million (eight million and one, actually) emails to the Blogger staff they finally got it to work. Its a Christmas miracle!

I just can't get enough of this kid!

Here's a great picture that Jeremy took of Evan in his new Exersaucer. He loves it!

And here he is giving Mom one of his "special kisses" that he just learned how to do. Sometimes he actually kisses you with a "smack" and other times he just licks your face. This was a wet one.

Taking a snooze next to dad on the couch. Mom thinks its cute how I cross my feet when I sleep.
Mom gave Dad a haircut! Here's Dad "before..."

And here's Dad "after!"

I got an Exersaucer today! Since I'm such an active little guy mom and dad thought it would be fun to get me a activity station like I have at Grandma and Grandpa Irvin's. I loved it! I had so much fun today that I wore myself out and slept all afternoon. Yum, plastic trees are tasty.

Me and my saucer.

Bath Time!

"Rubber Ducky, you're the one,

You make bath time so much fun!"

Smiling at Daddy.

Let's get serious for a minute - I need my hair washed.

I smeared rice cereal in it and now it's sticky. Help me!

Splash!

Mmmm...delicious. I love having duck for dinner.

Congratulations

to Erica and Alex

on the birth of their new

beautiful baby girl, Elsie!

~Elizabeth Erica "Elsie" Falconer ~

was born on December 10th, 2007

She weighed in at 7lbs, 5 oz and was 19.5 inches long

Isn't this the cutest picture you have ever seen!? She so adorable she already has her first gig as a baby model!

Congratulations to the happy family -

I can't wait to come and see her!

Its another Monday night and we have big news...

Evan slept from 11:45pm to 4am last night! That's the most consecutive sleep mom has gotten in three months! She was really excited today. We'll see how tonight goes. Hopefully it wasn't just a "fluke," but we're not holding our breath.

Evan all suited up to go to Grandma's. Yep - we live in Minnesota.

Will someone please tell Evan that he's only 4 1/2 months old? These are 12 month old size pj's. Insane. I can't believe how big he is!

"Oooh - shiny things on a prickly green thing - I wanna touch it!"

Its a Winter Wonderland outside! Break out the shovels...

23 Days 'till Christmas! It's exciting that this will be Evan's first Christmas, although he won't quite be old enough to enjoy it yet. Next year should be loads of fun...I already have toys picked out for his stocking (no, I haven't bought them yet, I'm not that neurotic.) I think he might just get a savings bond this year, and maybe a "first Christmas" ornament...and some cute pj's. The cute pj's are more for mommy - half the fun of having a little baby is getting to buy cute little outfits! Thanks to some generous friends and relatives that already have little ones of their own we haven't had to buy many outfits for him, so its always fun to pick something special out.

p.s. Nobody better make fun of Jeremy for getting his picture taken with a Santa hat. He was mad enough that I made him take a break from football Sunday to get a family picture taken, let alone that I made him wear the hat.

Oh, and I just happened to catch Jonas singing Christmas Carols in time to snap a photo:

"FA-LA-LA-LA-LA, LA-LA-LA-LA!"
