First Mother's Day

Yesterday I celebrated my first Mother's Day as a mommy! It was wonderful! It started with a delivery of flowers from Evan (I am sure Daddy had a little hand in that too :) ) I got to relax and hang out with Evan while Daddy vacuummed and did some cleaning! Quite a break for mommy! Then we went to lunch at a local brick oven baked pizza joint. The pizza was yummy, but the salad was even better! Later we had a nice family walk (yes...with Wrigley too)! Finally, we make chicken kabobs for dinner and enjoyed a quiet dinner at home as a little family! :)

Daddy is doing well too! Working lots and going to school. He is taking classes to finish his Community College of the Air Force Associates Degree. He has 2 classes left to go and he will have 3 (I think) associates degrees. Don't ask me in what because I can never remember. He is hoping to continue school while we are stationed here in Albuqeurque and maybe even finish his Bachelor's Degree.

Evan is doing well and learning new things every day! He smiles more and is starting to coo when he plays with his toys. His favorite is still his playmat. He also loves listening to songs and stories and of course swinging. He has learned to like bath time and really enjoys when you pour the warm water over his head.

He's also gotten better hand eye coordination as now he can actually hit the toys hanging above him on his playmat. The first time he did that, he startled himself, but now he seems to do it with purpose. Evan does okay with tummy time, but sometimes he just doesn't want to lay on his tummy. He is getting better and better and lifting his head and shoulders off the ground. He's quite a strong little guy! He also had his 40 day blessing in the Greek Orthodox church last Sunday, May 1st. He was quiet and did great the whole time!


Today we had his weekly appointment and he is now up to 3.95 kilos, which is about 8 lbs 11 oz. They also measured his length and he is 21 inches long. He is eating between 3 and 4 ounces every 3 to 4 hours. He is pretty good at going right back to sleep after he eats at night. Hopefully he stays that way because mommy enjoys getting at least a little bit of sleep!
