Evan weighs 26 lbs now. He'll get measured tomorrow and more shots. He
usually does fine though, maybe a little sleepy afterwards.
He had a little accident on Sunday. Will was visiting and Evan was
walking along the coffe table in between him and Ray. He fell and
starting crying. Will picked him up and handed him to me. I hugged him
while he cried on my shoulder. He settled down a little and I pulled
him away from my shoulder. When I did we saw he had a bloody mouth. It
was coming out of both sides if his mouth. We figured he must have bit
his tounge. We cleaned him up and the blood stopped pretty quick. We
didn't see anything on his tongue so I said he might have bumped the
tooth coming in. I had the pediatrician take a look and she said
everything looked okay. Although he was cranky this afternoon after
his nap and I saw a little blood around his new tooth. It was gone
when I looked a little later. I don't know if it was because of the
other day or if it was from it moving down. I swear it was bigger
after the nap than before he went down.
Evan's birthday was good. Not too eventful. I sang to him at
breakfast. He looked at me like I was a little crazy. I gave him a
blueberry donut since it was his b-day. He seemed to enjoy it. My mom
and Ray's mom sang to him in the morning. And Ray sang to him and
played with him a little before he left for work. Ev and I spent the
rest of the day cleaning and grocery shopping. Ray came home and he
and Ev played and split another donut. Then I made him a cheese
quesedilla for dinner. Aunt Lindsay and cousin Piper sang to him
during dinner. He played a little and then went to bed. Dan and Sarah texted. Aunt Katie and
uncle Will called to wish him a happy birthday before we went to bed.

Tonight around seven I was sitting on the floor and Evan crawled over
and got in my lap and started cuddling up and doing his snuggling
routine like when we are trying to put him down for the night. It was
so sweet that I had a hard time getting up and changing him into
jammies so he could sleep in his bed. I'm also cuddle deprived because
he's been pushing away when we rock him for the couple of minutes
before we put him in his crib. So we get like thirty seconds before
he squirms so much we have to give up. I told Ray Evan must be making
up for the two weeks of pushing. (I know this is a really good thing.
He's indepent when it comes to going to sleep. However, as a mommy of
a 1 yr old, I can say that he's growing up too fast. What will it be
like when he's five.)
Also one other thing that has occurred while trying to write this
post, Ray, Evan, and I are booked for our first family vacation! Ray
is the best man in Dan's wedding this summer in California. We are
taking the train to Flagstaff, Arizona. We're spending a couple of
nights while seeing the Grand Canyon. Then we're driving the rest of
the way to the wedding. We'll head back on the train. Now I know what
you're thinking. It is the longest possible way to get to California.
However, we decided it was the best way for Ray (he's slightly afraid
to fly) and Evan (he doesn't want to sit in a car seat or on
someone's lap for hours). We're hoping this way is the least
stressful. Although we've never traveled with a 1 year old for more
than a couple of hours before. Wish us luck. We might need it.
