some kind of kid...

lots to post but between feeding, entertaining, pumping, and putting evan to sleep most of what free time i have is spent catching up with paul who has been out of commission for a week now... can i just say that evan is a two-person job and i'm exhausted

but our little one is growing up so fast... sometimes i don't notice until someone else holds him or i see a picture of him, which reminds me of seeing a picture of him last week taken when he was probably only a couple months old and i didn't recognize him! (yikes! what's wrong with me?) in my defense, he's always looked like paul to me and in the picture he looked like a caucasian baby!? either that or the picture of him seared onto my brain of his first few months is of him wailing... he cried A LOT

hmm... anyway, the point of this post is to give an update on us... well, probably evan mostly... he's the one with changing every day... we are just in for the ride...

• evan is now eating solids... YAY! i've been waiting for this since his birth... but he can now eat cereal, bananas, avocado, sweet potato, prunes (yeah, not too much of this), and he hates pears... this week he'll have carrots and squash... so exciting! except for the fact that sometimes these foods give him bad gas or tummy aches at night or diarrhea (thanks prunes)
• obsessions:  paul = his new laptop ... me = coconut green tea, brownies, ice cream, processed sugar, ebay ... evan = his toes, jumperoo, flipping (even on his changing pad), trying to sit up, making new sounds (with consonants), old mcdonald (the song), his penis
• sleep:  paul = all night  me = 5 hrs and here and there unless evan stirs  evan = mostly all night except around 4am when i try to feed him... yes, he sleeps with me and i love it (don't judge)
• new tricks:  paul = nothing me = eating all sorts of horrible things and still fitting my skinny jeans evan = jumping on his jumperoo and manipulating things with his fingers (toys, balls, teethers, books)
• aspirations:  paul = business deals, baylor football domination  me = cooking mushroom lasagna and all sorts of other things, drinking caffeine evan = putting his hands in his diaper when i am trying to change him, grabbing stuff off of the table, getting out of his bumbo 

and here's some fun pics we took during evan's first football game

and then we got bored because he wouldn't give us a good smile...
