From the crib of Evan Spike: 15 Months old!

I've been alive for 15 months today as of 4:08PM! To celebrate, Mom and I are going to meet Dad at work for dinner. I am learning so many new things day by day, that it's hard to keep track.

2 weeks ago I discovered that rolling, crawling, walking, and running aren't the only ways to get from point a to point b. First I discovered that can walk BACKWARDS. I have discovered that this is best accomplished with a glint in my eye, a Cheshire cat grin, while hiding something in my mouth or behind my back, while shaking my head no no no. If Mom somehow misses me performing my new skill, I let out a devilish giggle. It hasn't failed yet.

Next I tried walking on my toes. This didn't get as good of a reception. Mom and Dad were quite worried that I was limping and had hurt myself. I had to endure Dad picking me up multiple times a day and subjecting me to pokes and squeezes asking me if I have an owwey here.... what about here.... what about here? ..... it got old.

I have moved on to what Mom calls "the poo walk" I bend my knees, lean forward, put my hands under my thighs, and scuttle while laughing. This makes Mom laugh, and by the way - it has nothing to do with whether or not I have a poopie diaper.

I am helping out around the house. I put my dirty clothes in the hamper, and every one's shoes in the shoe bin by the door. I have been pointing out all of the particles of dirt, leaves, old cucumbers and peas to Mom so she could clean them up. Then Mom said good job Evan - want to help Mom some more? Here use this:

I am an expert Vaccumer!!!! Now Mom isn't as upset when I throw food off my high chair cause I clean it up later with the dust buster. I love the dust buster as much as I used to love brooms.

Mom has been home allot more lately. She says it's because the baby in her belly is almost ready to come out and say hi. I have been really enjoying our special time together, even if she is incredibly tired. We have been visiting allot of my friends now too. I have spent a couple of days hanging out with Jack. Jack is such a great talker - he knows over 300 words. I have been imitating him and trying to talk more. Today I am practicing telling Mom "no no no no", while wagging my finger. I think it's hilarious.

Mom's friends Saoirse & Luke came to visit us. Osin is just 3 months older then me, but Tasice is 3.5 years old. We had fun at the beach, taking a bath, and jumping on the bed.
