The Nelsons

We have been incredibly busy the last week or so, and a storm is rolling in so I'll have to make this brief (and no time to upload photos, sorry!) I'll try to update with pictures again this weekend.

Evan has officially said his first word! "Num-num" - meaning "I'm hungry. I want some food, please!" He has, of course, been babbling "mama" and "dada" and such for the past few months, but this time he definitely meant it! It was even accompanied by a hand-gesture. We have been trying to teach him signing, since babies catch on quicker, and he seems to get so frustrated when he thinks you don't know what he is trying to say. Unfortunately, he understands our signs, but doesn't feel the need to use them to communicate with us. It will be so much easier when he can finally talk!

Oh, and he can "walk" from one place to the next, provided they are only a foot or so apart.

So - that's all for now. I will update more later. For now I'm going to unplug the ole' 'puter and ride out the storm.
