15 months old


My little E-man is now 15 months old! He's growing so fast and is getting so big. He really thinks he's bigger than he actually is... maybe about three and a half. Shhhh.... don't tell Evan.

Evan has been a lot of fun lately. He went through a super fussy stage where I think he suffered from a combination of alternating teeth and earaches. It was rough on all of us. He threw plenty of tantrums (I know this stage is far from over) and cried a lot.

He's back to his happy-go-lucky self again, and I'm glad for that!

Lately he's been really jabbering a lot. He'll carry on a nonsense conversation with whoever will listen to him. He just jabbers on and on. I love it and think it is the cutest thing. He's really quiet in the car and I attribute that to being Ryan's MOST talkative time of the day. I think he mostly is just listening to Ryan and I converse.

He's a climber just like Ryan was too. He gets onto things that are too high to be up on and has fallen more times than I'd like to admit.

He's also quite the daredevil. I told you he thinks he's big. He tries to do things that he's too little for and ends up getting hurt usually. At least he's having fun for a while before he falls down, trips, or skins his knee or nose!

Evan is building up his own little vocabulary. He can say quite a few words now. He says:
ma- milk
ma- more
bye
hi
ball
dog
duck
no
stop
don't
mama
ey- Ry

He doesn't sign very much but he has learned a few.

eat
more
please


Anyway, we just love the little guy and life with Evan is more complete than ever.



Most of these photos were from Colin's camera. He uploaded them to his facebook but I haven't really done a whole lot of pictures on facebook. I guess I just like to post my pictures here as we do things and add the journal along with it.

Evan helping me wrap a gift.





Evan being a total stinker and making a mess of his food. I LOVE this picture!





Evan climbing around in our front yard. I think this was the day he got the scrape on his nose.






Me and Evan hanging out on Easter Sunday.

If you're savvy you'll have noticed the video bar on the side was updated a few days ago with this video of Evan jabbering. We have our own YouTube channel and you can subscribe to it somehow I think. Anyway, I added the video bar to the site and it automatically updates with the 4 most recent videos from our YouTube channel. Back in April I uploaded (to YouTube) just about every video I have taken on my camera- if you'd like to see some oldies but goodies. Enjoy!

What a doll! I think it is so crazy that with your two little boys you have one that looks just like momma and one just like daddy...what are the odds? They are both adorable!

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high but we got some amazing deals.  After we had

Baby Evan Makes his Arrival

Image
The nurses from Alta View called me yesterday to let me know that my c-section was scheduled for 7:30am, and that we needed to be at the hospital by 6:00am. So much for sleeping in! Grandma and Grandpa took Ryan last night so that we wouldn't have to drop him off before the crack of dawn. We arrived at the hospital this morning at 6:00 as directed and got all admitted. At about 7:00 they let us know that we were being bumped because of an emergency c-section that they needed to do ahead of us. At around 8:00 they took us back to the operating room. The anesthesiologist came in and did his thing. Colin was great to help me through the whole surgery process. Our baby boy was born at 8:26 am. He weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. He has dark hair but not tons of it and it's probably curly, I would guess. His name is Evan Miles Dean. We are both doing well and there will be more pictures to come! me- last day of pregnancy Jen waiting to go into surgery Colin wa

This is Ryan and I painting letters for baby Evan. So, I guess we've made up our mind on the first name. I have a funny story to tell about Ryan. Yesterday he was playing with his little match-box cars on the table. He decided it would be fun to drive them through some "powder". So, he dumped out as much pepper as he could get out of the shaker and began driving the little truck through it. Later on he put the truck in his mouth. He quickly found out that it didn't taste so good. He kept rubbing his tongue on the couch, his blanket, and his shirt, trying to get the taste to go away. It was just too funny. I gave him some juice and that didn't work either so we eventually washed his hands and brushed his teeth to help him get rid of the pepper taste. Well, I survived my long week at work. Parent-Teacher conferences went well and I only didn't see two parents. I didn't get yelled at and my sugars stayed normal throughout the conferencing. I am so relieved
