Evan is half way to his first birthday!

- Evan is 19 pounds and 27.5 inches.

- He loves rolling over. He has discovered that it's a good way to go places, and has managed to reach the dog beds (about 4-5 feet away from where I set him on the floor) in less that 30 seconds, twice. He's a master roller!

- He still loves standing, and has ventured a few steps while we support him. He still lacks all the coordination for it, but he's intrigued by the walking thing.

- When I lay him on his buppy pillow as if it was a couch (with his rump in the whole), he manages to sit up by himself. He loves doing it and feels very proud of himself, he gives me a big "I did it!" smile!

- He LOVES pulling my hair. And faces, he loves pulling on faces, or any skin, really. And he reaches out for anything and everything. It doesn't matter if things are out of reach, he will launch himself towards them hoping to land close enough. And of course, everything goes into his mouth.

- He can sit on his own, but he has trouble staying there. There's always something more interesting over there, and as I said before he's not afraid to launch himself in any direction.

- He no longer sleeps on his back, he rolls around all over his crib and mostly prefers sleeping on his side, but also enjoys sleeping on his chest. Needless to say, crib is going down one level.

- He loves his exersaucer! Mostly, he loves "tasting" it all, from the dragonfly to the arch that holds the monkeys. He also understands that if he touches the chameleon, it'll play a tune. He's very deliberate about it, he touches it when the tune is over so it plays again.

- He's a jumper. He loooooves jumping up and down. As soon as you hold him to stand, he'll start jumping in excitement.

- He has decided to doesn't like the bottle anymore. He used to take it just fine, but now nothing but mom will do. Oh well, it's not like I go many places without him anyway...

-He's still a very happy boy, and gets attention everywhere we go. He's that cute.
