Evan on the Last Day of 2009

We were listing today all of the words that Evan says now at 20 months:

Mama
Dada
Papa
Kitty
Elmo
Ernie
Num Num (that's Cookie Monster)
No
Baby
Happy
Boy
Girl
Ball
Moo
Woof
Chocolate (almost)
chicken (almost)
apple
teeth
feet
pee
poop
bye bye
hello (huh-whoa)
eat
cheese
Meatball (that refers to actual meatballs and to Snuffy on Sesame Street)
please (sometimes)
Wii (or Wheee!)

I know there's more, but that's all I can think of right now. Just something I wanted to get down on paper so I wouldn't forget. I know there are things I've forgotten about Syd as a baby that I assumed I would remember forever. I guess that's why we have scrapbookss. :-)

Just give me the gift wrap.

August Vacation

What a whirlwind! A visit to the Williams family in Maine, visiting the CT Science Center in Hartford, Kid City in Middletown, then on to Cape Cod! Throw in a sleepover, a movie night, and some mini-golf and call it a vacation!

Kittens Come Home

We brought our 2 new kittens home tonight! April is the grey and white one, and Izzy is the black and white - they're about 9 weeks old. Surprisingly, April has been the slower to warm up to us -- she was sort of the "Miss Personality" of her kitten family, but Izzy was very playful and friendly almost as soon as she got out of the carrier. April's definitely warming up today, though - she was up on my lap while I worked on the computer. She seems to respond to being "meowed" at! She's a talker, I guess!

Somehow "Ivy's" Mom knew to tape her TV when the "Better Babies" came on today! Gotta love You Tube!

Grammy's Birthday

Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary

Yesterday we met Mom and Dad for lunch in Bloomfield, then headed to Elizabeth Park for some fresh air. It was a gorgeous day, and the park was full of people! We all enjoyed watching the giant goldfish in the pond....

Evan's First Birthday Party!

Hmm....not sure what Evan enjoyed more: his first cupcake, or his balloons?!!

We had family over for pizza and cupcakes: Mommy, Daddy, Sydney, Grammy and Papa, Gramma and Grandpa, Auntie Jennifer with Jimmy and Emily, Auntie Sharon with Nick & Alyssa, UG and Scarlett, and A.D. Thanks everyone for the awesome toys and clothes!

Evan's First Birthday

Can't believe the BIG MAN is one now! We opened presents from Mom & Dad and Syd after breakfast on his birthday. Now we're all looking forward to his big family "bash" this Saturday, April 18th! And we're just as anxious to get the little guy to the Dr. to have him measured. Could he hit 30 lbs.??!!!

hi this is Syd  I am going to have a sleep over  with my cousin. I am SO excited!! YAY! 

Evan's first REAL haircut

Evan reacted remarkable well to his first encounter with a REAL hairdresser! We'd given him a quick trim at home, but he was in desperate need of some professional styling. Nicole was his hairdresser at Snip-Its in Canton, and Grammy came along to watch the fun!

Coco Key

This year, instead of the cousins exchanging presents, we got them all tickets to go to Coco Key together. All 7 cousins were there, plus Grandma, and fun was had by all!
