Evan is 8 months old. Wow time flies! Last night, Brian and I realized that one year ago yesterday we were rushing to the emergency room for the first of many pregnancy scares. What a long scary few months it was! I am so so so happy that God had plans for Evan that was completely against what the doctors were telling us. If only I had known then...
Evan is obviously a growing, healthy baby. I don't know how much he weighs but he is wearing 12-18 month clothes. He now had 2 teeth. He is finally crawling on his hands and knees rather than dragging his legs behind him. He pulls up to stand. He is starting to push things around but mostly by walking on his knees. He will finally eat most anything and he will drink from a sippy cup.
Our biggest challenge with Evan is that he is still a terrible sleeper. He goes to sleep on his own very easily. In fact, I noticed this morning in church that it is actually very difficult to get him to sleep by rocking him. Our problem is that he doesn't stay asleep. He usually wakes up at least twice a night. Sometimes he will go right back to sleep but other times he will cry for up to an hour. I have stopped nursing him when he wakes up which makes him pretty angry.
How does this work when your kids share a room? We have a palate on our bedroom floor for the nights Evan wakes Luc up...which is most nights. It works though.
So here is this super handsome sweet baby boy...
Gotta love those eyes!
