Alex needed to get a haircut before our family pictures were taken, so we took him to Kids Kuts in Hyde Park. Jennifer did a great job and has a lot of patience :) She was especially impressed at his lack of response to the clippers! He didn't seem to mind sitting still for her, of course, he held on tight to his Glow Worm and his Binky the entire time!
We had to go back to the doctor today to make sure that Evan was back above his birth weight. I knew he had gained some weight - because he is starting to "feel" heavier, but we were shocked that he had gained a whole pound in 10 days! He is now up to 8lbs 4.8ozs, well above his birth weight! He is growing like a champ! Our next doctor's visit will be February 20th and is a special one because Alex actually gets to go too for his 18 month visit! Alex has been packing on some weight, so I am curious to see how much he has gained!
Yes - I have dreaded giving him his first bath - it took two weeks! I am a bad mommy - I know... He was okay as long as I wasn't touching him and he had to have his hands close to his mouth for security I guess! He looks just like Alex to me in these pictures, especially the ones of him crying (refer back to Alex's first bath post)!
Evan is adjusting to his new life in this noisy house and can already sleep through just about anything! Alex is getting more and more curious to touch Evan - his favorite part to touch is his little ears - given his ear fetish, this is no surprise to us! We are trying to get some pictures with Alex and his new brother, but Alex won't stand still long enough :) I will keep trying!
Because it has been so cold, we haven't got out too much - Alex was thrilled to just walk up and down the sidewalk with Tim and sit in the swing for a few minutes on Saturday! Before that we had all just been laying around in our PJ's!
We got to leave the hospital just one day after Evan was born - he was doing good, I was doing good, so why stay! I was very glad to get to sleep in my own bed again! Blood tests at 6am are no fun!

The new bed - Tim will be putting his name above the crib soon (fingers crossed)!!!
Bookshelves - soeme of these books are ours, this is a work in progress. 
In this picture you can see the new dresser and his chair.
It is still not organized enough to take pictures of the furniture! We are working on that...
Thanks to Babci for my new ride-along toy. He loves it, but anyone that heard it can vouch that it might be the most annoying, loudest toy ever! Keep em' coming! 
Thanks to Uncle Matt and Aunt Lauren for the Cleveland Indian bat and ball set!
This is Christmas Eve in Columbus - we thought for sure he would like Santa this time! Oh well, there is always next year!
Alex did not want to open his presents at Granny's!

Hard to capture good pictures of a moving target, but he did sit still for the giant lollipop!
