Baby Tomasov

Evan’s first tooth is coming in!  Yes, we took the picture while he was crying!  It was okay though, his bottle was being warmed up!

Here is our silly little leprechaun. He is such a good sport! :-) He is squishing his stuffed musical leprechaun toy that sings and says Irish phrases. Look how well he is sitting up on his own now!!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! We had lots of fun with Evan this week with all of his St. Patrick’s Day outfits and toys! We made sure to take pictures in the morning before he went to daycare, because we knew his outfits would be covered in milk and veggies by the time he came home.

I had to work late last night for parent conferences so Evan was hanging out with his daddy all evening. They went for a walk and Evan got to ride in his storller without the car seat for the first time. Matt said he loved it because he could look around at everything. He is getting to be such a big boy!

Evan went to the doctor the other day for his 6 month check-up. He weighed in at 15 lbs. 14 oz. and was 27 inches long. He is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for length. She still wasnt concerned about his weight because he did gain since his last appointment. He has been pretty picky with his eating lately. He doesnt really like his bottles anymore, even though that is what he really needs right now. There are days when he will drink 28 ounces, but other days when he will only drink 18. So we are doing the best we can and hoping he continues to gain weight. He is starting on more solids now too, which should hopefully help. He was definitely showing off for her as he was squirming all over the table, rolling all over the place, sitting up on his own, and talking to her. She was very pleased with how he is doing!

Matt and I both like monkeys (which explains our jungle and monkey themed nursery.) Therefore, Evan has tons of monkey clothes, toys, decorations, etc. So far he hasn’t complained about all of the monkeys, but he was trying to bite this monkey’s head off! :-)

It is amazing how much babies can change in the first few months. Here is a picture of Evan at 6 weeks old and then again at 6 months old.

Evan is 6 months old today! It is hard to believe how quickly these 6 months have gone by! We celebreated his “birthday” by going to Baltimore to celebrate Devaughn ad Elijah’s 1st birthday (it was actually February 27th, but their party was today). Here’s one of his 6 month pictures. I will update more and post more pictures this week because I am exhausted right now.

I took Evan swimming for the first time the other night. I was a little nervous about how he would do since the water was freezing cold! He wasn’t quite sure what to do! It was family swim night so there were about 30 other people in the pool. I think he was very overstimulated because all he did was stare around the room and look at all of the people. He didnt scream and he didnt laugh, so I really dont know if he liked it or not. We are going to try again next week and see how he does. The pictures came out a little blury for some reason, but here you go!
