Happy New Year!

Evan, now 14 months, ended 2009 enjoying more snow, visiting Santa at Daddy's office, and eating a 5 course Christmas dinner (check out the video of him eating red velvet cake below)!

Snow!

Evan's First "Taste" of Snow!

Ella, Ted, & Megan Visit

We just got back from a week long trip to Everett, WA. We stayed with our friends Ted & Megan, and their amazing daughter Ella 16 months. Evan and Ella got along wonderfully and Evan picked up on Ella's talking by giving us what we think are his first words Dog ("Du") and Cat ("At") which he repeated incessantly when playing with a stuffed dog and chasing their cat around the house. Amazingly it did not rain the whole week so we were able take in some beautiful scenery and play outdoors. Here are too many photos because it was too difficult to choose! They are all so precious!

Evan is very gracefully climbing stairs and going up and down ramps at the playgound! This video was taken at the PS26 playground where mommy went to elementary school.
