Feeding Our Fish?

For some reason the other morning Evan wanted some goldfish to snack on....it was right after breakfast, but I let him have a few.
I went in the kitchen to get a glass of juice for myself and I come back and sit down. Evan turns to me and says, "Feed Fish", pointing to our fishtank.
I said, "No, Evan...you and Daddy feed the fish when he comes home from work". (He does it every night with Daddy)
Evan then says and points at the tank, "Goldfish".
I look at our fishtank....there are goldfish crackers floating in it!!!!
I couldn't help but laugh!!!!!!!!!

BUT....does this mean the fish cannibals now?!?!?!? LOL!!

Welcome to _________'s Room!!!!


 
So.....here it is. As I mentioned before, the room is bright green with a white trim.
The theme is Monkey/Jungle.
This is the changing table area. As you can see it's all stocked and ready to go!
Here is the crib.
All ready...just need baby!
The dresser and glider.
 The baby's clothes are all washed and in the drawers!
I am replacing the cushion's fabric on the glider. It will be a dark brown when I am finished.
Inside the closet, the clothes are all washed and hung too.
The top shelf is filled with diapers that I have been stocking up on.
As you can see we are all ready for the baby!
All we need is the baby and a name!
We haven't totally decided on the name yet, but don't get too excited...
we're not going to tell!

The Baby's Room!

**As promised, I will post the pictures of the newly decorated baby's room later this afternoon**

Keep your eyes peeled...

Striping in the Backseat?


Today Evan and I decided to venture out in the "frozen tundra" that we call Rochester to run a few errands.
Evan LOVES to wear his hat, coat and boots when we go out...lucky for me! BUT when he gets in the car, it's a different story. He usually will take off his hat, boots and sometimes even his socks! I guessing to make himself a little more comfortable?
Well, during our errands today....he got a "little too comfy" and decided to take a nap.

I didn't mind at all, I parked somewhere and read a book :)

Toddler Bed (Night #2)


Evan had another GREAT night in his toddler bed!
He went to bed with no problems and slept through the whole night.
Dave and I can't believe how good Evan is doing with this huge change. We are very grateful for such an easy transition :)
We are very proud of him...he's such a big boy!!!

YES!!!!!!!! A Successful Night Sleep!




First night of Evan in his toddler bed was a total SUCCESS!!!
He stayed in his bed the whole night, didn't fall out and didn't wake up until 8AM!
After he fell asleep, Dave and I quietly went in his room to take this picture and see "our big boy" in his new bed.

*Sorry that the picture isn't the best, but I wasn't about to use the flash and risk waking him up :)

"Memory Lane" Monday




One of my favorite pictures of Evan!!!

He wasn't even a day old in this picture.

Looking at this picture really makes it hard to believe that he's going to be 2 soon!

Evan's NEW BIG BOY BED!



Today is the day that our little baby isn't a baby anymore....
No More Crib!
Daddy put his toddler bed together this morning and we moved the crib into the new baby's room.
We also got Evan a new sheet set with Cars and Trucks on them. He picked it out all by himself!

Wish us luck for a good night's sleep tonight!

Like Father, Like Son



My two favorite men in my life enjoying what they like best.....THE COMPUTER!
Evan defiantly gets his love for technology from his daddy.

A New Way to Shop at Wegmans!



One of Evan's favorite places to go now is Wegmans. I know what you're thinking....it's because of the cookie...NOPE!
He enjoys seeing how many items can fit in the front of the cart with him!!
As you can see in the picture, at this point in our shopping he has 2 bags of gold fish, chewy granola bars and frozen ravioli.
Did I mention those are some of his favorite things.

(Fruit) Snack Break


Evan and I spent most of the afternoon in the Baby's room. We set up the dresser, changing table and cleaned out the closet. We also washed 3 loads of baby clothes and still have 2 more loads to go!! I will post new pictures of the room on Thursday. Evan was a big help and took a much deserved snack break in his camping chair when we finished!

The room is a bright green color with a white trim and the carpet is a light colored berber.
The room's "theme" is going to be Monkey/Jungle.
I plan on getting in there today to start decorating!!!

THANKS to Grandpa, Uncle Russ and Daddy!

What NOT to WEAR!


Last night after Evan's Bath, I let Evan pick out the pajamas that he wanted to wear.
Well....this is what we ended up with...2 DIFFERENT Elmo pajamas on at once.
Should I be worried?!?!?

Little Buddies


Evan and I have been spending alot of time with our friends, Jen and Gavin lately. I'm not sure if they are sick of us yet, but we all have a lot of fun together!!!
Jen and I take turns watching the kiddos every week, so that we can each take an hour or two to run errands "kid-less". It's a win-win for everyone because our boys have fun playing together and "us moms" can actually walk into a store and think about what we need to get :)
Thanks Jen and Gavin!

ABC... EASY AS 123



Believe it or Not, but Evan knows all the letters in the alphabet and his numbers 1-10!
He has been so interested in learning the letters that he does his "letter puzzle" at least 10 times a day.
We are so proud of him....but maybe some of it is our great parenting skills :)

"Going In" the Closet


Yesterday was the day that the Baby's carpet FINALLY went in the room! I wanted Evan and I to not be in the way, so we packed up and spent a few hours at Jen and Gavin's House. Jen and I scrapbooked and the boys played.
Evan was getting pretty tired since he got up early that morning. So, for some reason he decided to open up their coat closet and lay down and rest for a few minutes.

Bouncing It Out!


Today we went to Bounce-It-Out in Pittsford!
 We haven't been there in 4 months or so and the last time we were there Evan wasn't liking it too much. Well to our surprise he LOVED it there today! He went in the bounce houses all by himself and did the slides too.
I'm so glad he likes it there now...I just booked his Birthday Party there for next month!!

Out with the OLD in with the NEW (Year)!



Happy New Year!
How did we spend the first day of 2010? We took down the Christmas decorations and cleaned. Evan helped by vacuuming.
 I love having the Christmas decorations up, but honestly I was getting a little sick of looking at them. Now with the tree gone....there's more space in the living room for playdates and horsing around with Daddy.
