A few weeks ago, I would have told you that I had Evan all figured out. I knew his daily routine, how often and how much to feed him, when he was happiest and when he was out of sorts (and why). Now, the kid's all over the place! I'm not sure what, when or where to expect things these days. This previously "easy" baby is throwing new challenges our way, keeping Jason & I on our toes. Don't get me wrong, Evan is for the most part still a very happy and easy-going baby. He smiles and laughs a lot, he can entertain and play by himself for a long time, and he is still so sociable with people. At the same time, he's fighting naps, gets impatient in his high chair, can be a real bear in the late afternoon, and will not stop pushing the buttons on the TV and DVD player! Ah, the fun of it all!
Here are some new pics of our dear sweet child. The Grandparents Terreri visited a couple of weeks ago-- I'll have those available to post later this week.
"Who, me?"
will stop at nothing to get the buttons!
(My mom thought she would trick me by blocking them with my toy box, ha!)
Playing with filters-- so you can see just how blue Evan's eyes are (eye color is not enhanced!).
After a visit to Stride-Rite-- are you kidding me they sell infant sandals (not even a full shoe!) for $42??-- Evan and I wound up at Old Navy and found a pair of cute, flexible (and cheap) sneakers. So much work for such little feet! And for the record, no, he is not yet walking. I'm guessing we have a week or so before the first official steps. 
Today marks the first day of "Ironman, Part Deux" training for Jason. Jason will again race the Ironman, this time in Panama City, FL on November 3. This time around, he has a training partner! Thanks to our nifty convertable jogging stroller, Jason can run and bike with Evan in tow. Evan has already spent plenty of time in the jogger when we trained for half & full marathon. It became our routine to take Evan out on a Sunday 10-mile run.
Recently, Evan rekindled his love for the swing. Unfortunately, this swing doesn't fit in our living room, but it does still put Evan to sleep. After 20 minutes at the park, he is more than ready for an afternoon nap! 
Last weekend, Evan's great grandparents stopped in for a visit. Jason grilled an amazing lunch for us and we enjoyed the sunny but chilly weather.
Here are the pics I promised in the post below. We had a wonderful visit with Grandpa & Grandma Terreri and Evan really enjoyed their company (and showing off for the camera).

Life in our house these days is... unpredictable! From the moment Evan started pulling up, he hasn't stopped, and is now able to reach the ledge of many things that were once considered "out of bounds." Shortly after this picture (above) was taken, Evan pulled himself up far enough to lift his feet off the ground!
Evan's no angel, but if you could see the rolls on his chubby little thighs, he does look a little like Cupid. Here are some Valentine's Day pictures. No, the red outfit wasn't staged (I actually forgot what day it was when I dressed him this morning), but the pictures are. And, being the cheeky little monkey that he is, Evan was more than willing to pose.
