Mmmm....Chewy Chips Ahoy!

We now have visual proof that Evan will eat a cookie....Chewy Chips Ahoy to be exact. He's particular about the cookie though; he only eats it as far down as he is holding it...so he leaves little cookie nibs behind.

Up until now, we couldn't get him to eat the typical bad things kids eat (cookies, candy, etc...). We just need to keep putting calories in him however we can.

Playing in the Pool

We had a pool put in this year...as you can see...it's HUGE! Max thinks it's his big drinking bowl! Evan wasn't too thrilled with it.

Jail and Bail

The March of Dimes Jail and Bail went as well as expected today. We picked Evan up right before lunchtime/nap time and were ready for the worse. As soon as I get pics from the event organizers, I'll post them. Evan had fun running around the restaurant with another little boy (who was 4 months younger than him, but a lot bigger than he was). Evan started to poop out about 1pm; so we took him back to daycare to let him "sleep it off".

The vids aren't very good since Evan was antsy

Training in Bisbee

In a previous post I think I mentioned how Evan and I are usually in Bisbee every weekend "training" for the annual Bisbee 1000 Stairclimb in October. Evan has been doing great in the backpack and manages to find a comfy position to sleep in during the walk! My co-worker Terri has been joining us and these are some pics she took with her camera phone.

Is this kid too cool or what?!

Last Check-up with the Pulm

Today Evan had a check-up with his pulmonologist, Dr. Brown. It's great that Dr. Brown comes down to Sierra Vista now. Of course, Evan was sounding crispy thanks to one of his daycare buds having croup the week prior. We weren't expecting a huge weight gain (and we were right)...20 pounds 14 ounces (and that was him fully dressed). He measured at 30.5 inches, so I think that's a .25 inch gain in height from his 2-year old check up in July.

Despite Evan sounding horrible, Dr. Brown doesn't need to see him anyone! He wants us to continue giving him the albuterol treatments every so often when he's sounding bad.

Checking Out My Favorite Shows

Evan has been fascinated by the Playhouse Disney page on the computer. He can't quite work the mouse, but understands how to click. His current favorite TV show webpages to view are "Handy Manny", "My Friends Tigger and Pooh", and "Little Einsteins".
