Evan is six months old and as the pictures can attest he is picking all up kinds of new skills. Evan enjoys grabbing the spoon when he's being fed. The trouble is he tries to either jab the spoon into his mouth or chew on it. Thank goodness for the rubber coating on the flat part of the spoon. Evan has been introduced to the sippy cup with water which he is so so about. He has even started trying to grab the bottle to feed himself. Evan can't quite handle the full bottles yet, but it doesn't stop him from trying. Most nights when I get up for the O-dawn:thirty feeding Evan has rolled himself from his back to his belly, and I've given up turning him over. Now he gets changed, fed, back to bed on his back, and by the time I get up early to study Evan has long since rolled over onto his belly again. Evan smiles now when Karen or I go into to get him up in the morning. This morning he smiled real big when I went into get him up, and then he smiled really big when Karen got up. Today was a nice change because of Good Friday. I didn't have to work today, but I got up early to study anyway. Because I didn't have to work I was able to give Karen a little break, and fed Evan breakfast this morning. Evan is recovering from a double ear infection so he's getting amoxicilan in his cereal in the morning. Nothing like pink cereal to get your day started, but Evan takes it well so it's not a real big deal. Just three more days of the antibiotic, and hopefully Evan will only have to worry about teething. Sorry to report there are no teeth yet, but his bottom row look so close we hope they'll break through any day now.
