Baby Tomasov

So Evan is finally starting to get a little chunky. As you can see in some of the pictures, he is getting a little chubby in the face, arms, hands, and legs. It’s about time he starts to put a little meat on his bones! He is eating about 24-28 ounces a day now, which is down from the 36 that he was doing about a month ago. However, he also has cereal both in the morning and at night and he has vegetables for lunch and dinner. So far he likes sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, and green beans. I am going to try the peas mixed with carrots to see if he likes them better mixed with something. If not, then I am giving up on the peas! He is also going to start on some fruit this week, since he has been doing great with the veggies.

Evan really likes to make “raspberries” with his mouth. This is adorable most of the time. However, he has discovered that his favorite time to make rasperries is as soon as mommy puts veggies in his mouth. Therefore, I have been covered in veggies on more than one occasion. I have joked about wearing a rain poncho while I feed him! Matt thought this was the funniest thing, until he got to feed Evan the veggies and see what it was like! There’s a reason why he doesnt get fruit or veggies before I go to work!

So Evan’s latest game is covering himself up and knocking over his toys. He was “hiding” under his monkey mat the other day, and today he decided to hide under his space gym. He was kicking and squirming and having a good old time!

I had Evan sitting in the corner of the couch holding this bear, but he toppled over and ended up on his tummy, so I got this one instead.

Matt thought I was crazy when he saw me taking these pictures, but they made us both laugh.

We took a few pictures of Evan for Valentine’s day. He missed his party at school on Friday because we had so much snow, so he got his first Valentine today from mommy and daddy. Of course, he started to chew on it right away, but thats okay. :-)

Evan is 5 months old today! He is dressed in his football outfit and is all ready for the Superbowl tonight! He was happy as a clam this morning when I was taking his picture!

We have discovered that Evan is really not a big fan of peas (he takes after his mommy there!). He spits them out at me and makes the funniest face when I try to give them to him. We are going to try one more time today, but if he doesnt eat them its on to carrots!
