The Varcoe 5: I think we have a sleeper!

I think we have a sleeper!

Evan is doing something new everyday and I can't keep up with him. He had his four month shots and he weighed 17lbs 9oz (90% in weight) and was 25.75" tall (75% in height). He is getting so tall and big! We hope he continues to grow nice and tall - baseball here we come!

With all this excitement it means he got to try rice cereal and you guessed it - he LOVED it. Barely a drop came back out. He loved eating and grabbing for the spoon.

And the big news is he slept through the night consistently for a few nights now! We have been trying to keep him up later so he sleeps longer and it is working! I don't remember what it is like to have 8 solid hours of sleep. The shots have thrown him off a little bit, but still sleeping great.

He also swam/sat in his pool. He loved it! Sat for 45 minutes just splashing around with measuring spoons, rubber ducky and a rattle. I thought he was going to shrivel up into a raisin.

Evan rat tail - 1980 is back!

The hat is a little small and didn't last long.

He also has started to notice Lou and Fiona. He will just start cracking up and we look and it is Lou walking by or sitting on the couch. He just loves his kitties.

Lou is keeping his exersaucer safe.

He finger painted for the first time at school too. He is a budding artist already. He loves his exersaucer at school, so we went and bought him one and he loves it. Already threw up twice on it because he was jumping like a maniac.

Watching Baby Einstein in his new Baby Einstein exersaucer. Needless to say he was mesmerized.

He got to meet his buddy Drew for the first time. If you remember a while back I posted that all my roommates from Wartburg were due this year - Drew is Lindy's little boy. He was born in January, Evan April, Jack (Rachel's son in June) and Myles (Amy's son in July). Yep all boys - next summer will be lots of fun and running around!

Evan, Drew and Kaylee - hands to yourself kids!
