Evan went to his first basketball game today – I know Uncle Mike would be proud. I made sure Evan was dressed appropriately, in his little Bulls warmup outfit – of course, he was not at a Bulls game though – he was at his first Attea Flyers game. He was so wonderful the whole time – sitting patiently in my lap watching all the madness around him. The noise did not seem to bother him and he found the shinning pom-poms the cheerleaders held quite exciting. He then met 112 middle school kids, who thought he was just adorable (well the girls did). I am so proud of him!

We went on our first shopping spree this past weekend and it went over much better than the Tiffany experience. Evan is growing so quickly that we had to go out to buy some new clothes and boy we had fun. We planned the outing right after lunch, so Evan was content the whole trip. We hit Target first and bought a few really cute outfits (Bulls and Blackhawk warmups) and then went to The Child’s Place (thanks to Uncle Jon for the gift card) and we bought a bunch. So many cute little shirts and pants – Evan will be the cutest kid on the block.

Amy and I have been busy trying to capture some new photos and we finally posted them in the photos section. If you have not done so already – check out the new photos. He is smiling more and more everyday. On Saturday when I went to get him in the morning from his crib – as soon as he saw me – he got a big smile on his face…a very special moment!

We went to the doctors office today for Evan’s two month appointment and of course the doctor said he is perfect. He is now 12lb 14oz and is 24 inches long. Jen likes to say that he is two feet and almost half way to Aunt Julie’s height :). He was fabulous at the doctors and only got upset when the nurses gave him his three shots. He was crying so hard the nurse had to tell him to breathe before she injected the third shot. Funny thing – there have been times when I have cried so hard that Jen has told me to breathe – like moma like son.
Evan got over the shots pretty quick and when we got home we all took a family walk together – Jen, Triscuit, Evan and myself – the cats chose to stay home. It was beautiful out and great to get out together. He did get a little fussy around 3:30 and we gave him a little Tylenol (as the doctor suggested it) and he felt a little better – it was so sad to see him so sad. We gave him his bath, dinner and he is soundly sleeping now :).

It is hard to believe that two months have already gone by since Evan was born. Personally, I have enjoyed every minute of the last two months and am excited for many more. Evan is absolutely wonderful and a joy to spend time with – even when he starts to cry loudly when I try and watch Guiding Light (or anything else I TiVo). He is sleeping through the night, eating well, smiling, enjoying baths, and playing with his toys.
