22 Months Old Today!

Can you believe Evan will be 2 in 8 weeks!!?? We're getting closer to getting him caught up with his actual age. We're still struggling with getting Evan to eat like a normal toddler. We've found that he loves tomato soup, which is very odd for a kid his age. We crumble up saltine crackers into it and he'll eat almost all of it. So add that to the sweet potatoes and that is pretty much what we can get him to eat for dinner.

We won't have a weight update until his 2-year check-up in July, but we're guessing he has gained weight. Maybe he'll hit 20-pounds at 2 years (about a year late)? The one thing we've noticed is that his babbling is coming along and he is getting close to forming words. Max is still "ba" according to him, but ball is also "ba", and he can almost say "bubbles". If we ask him to go find his bottle, he'll go and find it in another room, so he's defintely understanding things much better. He's a great cleaner-upper...he'll take things we hand him and put them into the trash; he likes to close the dryer and dishwasher doors and put clothes into the washing machine. He even knows which buttons to push on the washing machine to get it to start (luckily he's too short to reach the buttons, so he can only do it with adult assistance).

This is the way Evan starts his day after his double expresso...checking his phone for text messages and voicemails from his girlies.
