Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This year we celebrated at my Mom and Dad's house. Pictured below is my mother's beautiful table display. The food was delicious and the company superb. In attendance were my parents, Grandma, and my brother and his new bride Debra.

Here is our family portrait on the big day with our little Turkey, the Evester! :)

He had a great time and sported his festive bib! He especially wanted to wish everyone a wonderful holiday!!!

Another play date...this time with a girl

Evan and I had the pleasure of having another play date with my good friend Elizabeth and her adorable seven month old daughter Mabel on November 5. We had so much fun and got some really cute pictures. The kids were just so sweet together. Thanks for visiting Elizabeth and Mabel! We love you guys!

Three Months Old

Evan is three months old and such a little munchkin. Here are his latest developments:

*He drools a lot now and enjoys making bubbles.
*He also spits up a lot too, however, he has been doing this for awhile now, I just keep forgetting to note this. :)
*He is grabbing things, especially his blankets and burp cloths. He loves to chew on them. He enjoys clutching on to his toys too, but is still more interested in the blankets and burp cloths or his own hands.
*Evan also is very strong and will hold your finger with quite a grip. Another one of his favorite things to do while grabbing your fingers is pull himself up to do a sit-up. He wants to do this over and over. Such a little muscle man.
*Standing is also one of his favorite pastimes he is a big fan of this and attempts to be balanced during the process. We always like to say to him that he is surfing or dancing as he puts his hands out and tries to accomplish this task.
*Cooing and Ooing is another daily activity for Evan. He talks to us all the time and is just so precious. We can't get enough of his little sounds. We think he even kind of giggles. The best is when he echoes you making the same noises. He is such a smartie (at least we think so). :)
*His latest trick is to put his lips together and make the buzz sound. He gets such a kick out this activity.
*Bath time continues to be a great experience for our little guy he now loves to kick his feet. We were bathing him on the counter in the kitchen, but had to recently move him to the bathtub as he was making a mess with his little kicks.
*He is also really trying his hardest to turn over. He almost has it, but I think he will get stuck when he lands on his tummy. Baby steps!

Evan continues to be a gem and gets bigger every day. Here are some of the latest pictures for your viewing enjoyment. We love you little buddy!

Evan is 12 weeks old today! Happy Birthday little man. He wanted to say hi to everyone. Gotta love those blue eyes.

Hanging with family

Evan has had so much fun hanging with family while being in Sacramento. Here are some pictures of his recent visits. Below he got to see Grandma Knight and Aunt Alison.

He got to wish Uncle Rhett a Happy Birthday on October 18th! Aunt Debra joined in on the good times too.

Grandma Thompson and Evan having a blast hanging out together. Here they are posing pretty in their matching brown outfits.

Pops also got to enjoy the little guy at the Olive Garden the other night. Yummy fun!

And lastly, Grandpa Thompson and Evan having some great bonding time today. They took a quick break for me to get this lovely picture on Evan's 12 week birthday.

Evan loves all of his family and looks forward to more quality time to come...thanks everyone for the memories (from Evan). :)
