-Merry Christmas-

Evan has a fourth tooth coming in on the top and is having a bit of a hard time with it. He got a fever yesterday so David had to stay in the room with him while the whole secret santa thing happened. Evan still hasn’t opened his presents but I can’t wait for him to see his buzz lightyear (thank you Shae and Gavin!)
Evan’s still a little run down today but had to take some Christmas photos anyways of my first Christmas with him. He was a little fussy and by the time David and I got to smooching him he started crying, as you can see.

-Happenings-

Evan has 3 teeth now, all on the top. And he started crawling yesterday. It’s summer here so I can finally dress him in onesies and have his chubby thighs sticking out.
David came back this week just in time for Christmas. He thinks I spoiled Evan so he’s trying to toughen him up again and turn him into a little “sparten.” He was teething and was sick for a week so got really whiny during that time. He’s doing allot better now. While David was gone I let Evan sleep in the bed with me and now he refuses to sleep in his crib. David was up for a bit last night trying to put him back to sleep in his crib but when it was my turn to take over I just put him in our bed and went to sleep. It’s going to be a weening process for sure to get him to sleep in his crib but sleep is very precious for me so I’m not sure how it’s going to work.
Anyways, took these pics this afternoon, doesn’t he look too cute?

Evan has a tooth! It just cut through so you can’t really see it but it’s there. It’s on the top of his mouth, a little to the side. I’ll take a picture of it once it starts to show.
He waved at me the other day. I got him to do it all afternoon but he hasn’t done it since. And he says “da.” Probably doens’t know what it means but he’s starting to say those one syllable sounds.
And he’s right about to crawl. He gets on all fours and then scoots back. Yesterday I was putting baby Einstein on for him so I put him on the bed and turned around for a second and he dove off and fell on the floor. Poor guy was all traumatised but he slept really well! Anyways, I’ve learned my lesson and can’t leave him on the bed anymore.
He’s starting to get attatched to me. Before he would see me and get excited but he would never cry for me. Now he’s starting to. He’s terribly cuddly. He gives me hugs and cuddles with me at night. He likes to play with my hand as he falls to sleep.
