Evan's Getting Big

Evan is doing rather well with sleeping habits. He has started to sleep through the night. Maren puts him to bed with a special self made routine of feeding, humming and rocking. He rarely cries when he goes to bed around 8-8:30pm. However a few times I have gotten up around 5am to check on him and he is just playing, having a good time playing and chopping down on his fingers. Sometime I seriously wonder what is going through his head. About the same time he discovered that his fingers are so darn yummy, he also decided that he doesn’t like the pacifier as much. He can hardly keep it in for more than 30 seconds before he spits it out and locks in the fingers. We tried to keep his fingers from his mouth for a little while, but then decided that he is going to do what he is going to do. Just like Heavenly Father tries to help us. If we are persistent, then he will let us do what we want even if it is not the best thing for us. Evan doesn’t really care what fingers are in his mouth. Usually it is his right hand pointer, and middle finger, but I have seen him try and get four fingers in at the same time.

In other exciting news! Evan learned to move his arm out of the way, so now he is rolling over. Maren and I were both there during lunch time to see it. We had left him on a blanket in our living room to go into the kitchen and eat. After about two minutes I came back into the living room and he was on his stomach. I asked Maren, “Did you roll him to his stomach when you left”? She said no, so we set up the camera, and he did it again. He seriously wouldn’t stop rolling over all day.
However the fun would come to an end and he had enough one night. His crying woke us up and I went into his room to see what was the matter. He had rolled to his stomach and started to drool. Apparently he doesn’t like his head in a puddle of drool and wanted let us know. Speaking of drool, it comes more often then a poopy diaper and with warning. Half the day he looks like he has been working up a sweat underneath his chin.

Ultrasound

So on September 25th Maren had a ultrasound to check out the size and health of the baby. We where really excited and also wanted to know if it was a boy or a girl. Lets just say that the technician wanted to keep our attention so for about 20 minutes she didn't tell us if it is a boy or girl. However she thought our baby was being just so darn cute that she gave us several pictures. All here for you.

So to begin for those of you that don't know. The white area on the ultrasound is denser material describe to me as where bones are growing. And where you see black there is fluid.




This picture is a profile shot with the Evan facing up.



This is a profile shot of him facing down.




This is Evan's face and arm looking straight at us! It almost looks scary!



This is another shot of his face but with his hand. Its a good shot of his mouth and chin. He is so cute!




This is a shot of his foot. You can't really tell but his feet where kind of crossed.
