Mya's Birthday Party

Today was Mya's 1st birthday party at Joey's house. Crazy to think it's been a year since Mya was born (she's come so far)! Joey has a swing set in the backyard and Evan was liking the car swing.



I snapped this vid of Mya "digging in" to her birthday cake:

Evan's A Medal Winner!!

Evan was overjoyed to be pulled out of bed early to run the Thunder Mountain 5K/10K with Mom (NOT)! He was mister grumpy until the race was over. We ran the 5k in 36 minutes (and I think we were bypassed by the winners of the 10k, but that's o.k.). The course was uphill (a lot), so I think we did fine considering.

After the race, they held a "Diaper Dash" for all kids under 5. Evan was the third place winner (out of 3 kids). He did great considering the other 2 kids had him on height by like a foot.






This is a pic of my co-workers who also ran/walked the race:

Door Open...Door Closed

Evan has this peculiar thing that doors cannot stay open. We've already experienced a few smashed-finger incidents; but he's getting smarter about moving his fingers out of the way.

Finally Seeing A Good Weight Gain

It was time for Evan's monthly Synagis shot today. The upside to it is that we get a weight check on him. Today he weighed 18 pounds 11 ounces, which is is 1 pound 5 ounce gain in one month. He still has a long way to go to get caught up on weight, but he's getting closer to that 20 pound milestone. The nurse told us he only has one more Synagis shot for this season at the end of April.

Dr. Hassan (the gastroenterologist) is keeping Evan on the Prevacid a bit longer. He wants us to wean him off of it (day on/day off) for 30 more doses (so 2 months longer). It will be nice not having to ambush Evan every morning to dump the granules into his mouth (he's getting good at anticipating it).

Easter Egg Hunt Part 2

Evan had a more successful egg hunt at our neighbor's house today. Evan joined in the fun with Tina and Robert's grandkids (of course Evan was the smallest/youngest guy there)! He and Ethan had some time to hunt before the older kids came out. He needed some coaxing, but finally figured out what he was supposed to do.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter egg hunt day! We had two events to choose from, the city egg hunt or the post egg hunt at the PX. My friend Sunny suggested we go to the one on post since it's smaller and they hide gift cards in the eggs. Evan "found" one egg and Sunny snuck two into his basket (despite another parent telling Sunny the hunt was just for the kids...whatever...the boy isn't even 2 give him a break)!!



Here is a vid of Evan "finding" his egg:

Follow the Bouncing Ball

Evan was having a good time with this little plastic ball that looked like a basketball (it had a Florida Gator on it)...until Max got it.
