Spring in Cali

Nothin' quite like the beach in spring.  Here's Evan almost 9 months old now in Malibu...crawling all over, just about ready to walk, talks up a storm with "mama, dada, and gaga", loves "adult" food over boring baby food :), loves to be outside, and loves to be around people. When I think of the word J-O-Y, I think of Evan! 

Catching up

I know it's been months since I've posted, so I thought I would put up some current photos of Evan and our family of 3. Our little boy is 4 months old now...don't know where the time goes...and is the happiest and most precious thing ever! I'm not kidding when I say happiest...he is always smiling, loves to laugh, loves to be around people and has quite a voice when he talks! He is such a joy to us and we love our "family life."

Thanksgiving day on a walk in Redlands with Alla who joined us for the holiday

He'll have to get used to this :)

Rolling over now!

Playing at the park with Daddy...who is such an intentional dad! I love how Jared is with Evan-he is so helpful and loves to take him Saturday mornings for 'mad dates.'

Such a big boy now!

E*V*A*N

All I can say is we love him a little more everyday! So glad to have this adorable little guy in our lives! Here's our photo shoot from this weekend. :)

f*a*m*i*l*y

New Normal

Life has forever changed and we are enjoying our new normal. Evan is so much fun and such an entertainment for us! He is a happy baby, starting to sleep better at night, loves time with his daddy and seems to enjoy being outside. Jared and I are starting to get a rhythm down and it's fun when the 3 of us have time together.

2 weeks old

He likes the swing

Grandpa Glenn gave Evan this outfit since he's a Cali baby and will hopefully one day surf with his dad!

I love him!

Asleep on Auntie Alla's chest

He's had lots of time with Grandpa and Grammie Pike while they've been here. My mom can't get enough of him. :)

First big outing to the beach. We spent a couple hours at Crystal Cove the 3 of us and it was a success. This baby has to learn to be mobile early to join Jared and I on all our adventures!
