I don't have a title....

... but here are just some things that have been going on in the last week or so.
First off, crazy crib-head continues to plague poor little Evan:

Makes for a good morning laugh for the rest of us though!
In recent weeks, I've been giving Evan his meals in a bowl with a utensil (instead of just dumping it on his tray) so he can start practicing. Here he is trying, but not really succeeding at using the spoon- although he seems to get the general concept:

Not like the first time I handed Tyler a fork and he started chowing down with it like he'd been doing it his whole life. I do realize that he and Evan are very different and I mustn't use Tyler's every milestone as a standard. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that. All this is not to say that I for one second think that Evan is behind because that couldn't be further from the truth. I think it's actually that Tyler is usually a little bit ahead!

Meanwhile, Tyler's obsession with the vacuum cleaner comes to a screeching halt the moment it is turned on. It may be the only thing he's afraid of... In any case, this is the ONLY time he doesn't want to be in the same room as Daddy:

In other developments, Evan has graduated from the high chair to his very own booster seat!

[If you are wondering what they are looking at, they are watching a DVD on Mitch's laptop on the kitchen table. Probably Baby Einstein or Thomas, or Johnny and the Sprites. The DVD player that was hooked up to the TV finally died. It was the very first DVD player we ever got - I don't even remember how many years we've had it, so it didn't really owe us anything.]

This doesn't mean that Evan is completely ready for the the high chair to be put out to pasture...

I guess Tyler isn't quite ready either...

Regardless, I'm giving that thing a good cleaning and it's going in the yard sale pile! The Kingstowne semi-annual yard sale is May 16th and I'm hoping to make even more money than I did last September.

Here's some fun video of Tyler playing with Mr. Potato Head.

This is just a picture I really like of Evan looking sporty with a cell phone:

It still amazes me how much he looks like a little boy now (instead of a baby) since he got his hair cut!! Too cute.

And the shot of the week - after resisting a nap all morning on Saturday, he finally passed out on the couch.

This weekend, my mom is coming for a visit!!! I need to get video of it, but when I ask Tyler "Who's coming on Friday?" He says "Mimi!!" It's very cute. I'm hoping the weather will be nice enough for us to get outside. Who am I kidding? We'll probably spend the whole weekend at Target... :)

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Target? You can't mean that consumerism is still alive and well in America, despite the economic crisis? ha ha
Enjoy the visit from your Mom! I agree the boys looks like boys!
