HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It is amazing how much Evan has "grown up" the past two weeks. He is sitting up by himself (most of the time,) content to play by himself for 10 minutes or so, and his hand/eye coordination has improved by leaps and bounds. He finally realizes that he can make those five little pink sausages attached to his arm do things for him! And his favorite thing to grab? His toes! (And mommy's hair...I made the mistake of letting him "ride around" on my shoulders Saturday night and he hung on with two huge fist fulls of my hair - ouch!)
**************************************
His brain seems to have matured about three months in the last week. You can visually "see" him thinking and contemplating things, unlike before. It makes me a little bit sad, because he is definitely out of his "newborn" stage and into the "baby" phase now. He's growing up so fast! Every time I turn around he is doing something new. Its hard to keep up with it all. If I learned that fast I would be able to calculate parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations by midnight! (I don't even know what those are...I just know they are hard and would take lots of learnin' to figure out.)

Here's Evan playing on the floor...he was sitting up, but was trying to look at me behind him and fell over.


He loves the teddy bear that his Great-Grandma Nelson gave him for Christmas!
