Drooly Monster

Ok, maybe just one more....

One more before we head out of town...

I let Evan loose in our closet & bathroom this evening and just followed him around with the camera.
This was when I came around the corner and busted him chewing on Brian's shoelaces.
Pearl always has to be in the mix when the camera is involved. She is truly a member of the Peterson family in that regard. Her face in this one just says, "Oooh, get me, get me!"
Now chewing on Daddy's pants tag.
Now the phone. Pearl got in there and licked his ear when he wasn't paying attention. I think there was some oatmeal and cottage cheese back there. Smart girl.


It is an extra special treat when he turns the phone on and the buttons make noise. He thinks it is talking to him and he laughs and talks back!
His new thing is to crawl through the bottom of his exersaucer like it is part of an obstacle course. He doesn't bother going around. Pearl was trying to entice him into some tug o war.
We are off to SC tomorrow until Sunday. I hope everyone has a great Turkey Day. We certainly have SO MUCH to be thankful for this year!

Bath Time

Evan and I were having normal old splishy splashy bath time until Brian got home. Evan was so happy to see Daddy that he tried to climb out of the tub!




Random outside pics

I received a not-so-subtle email today telling me that I needed to get my act together in the blogging department. Geez, now I know how celebrities feel when they disappear from the public eye for too long, your public gets angry!
In the interest of keeping our fans happy, Evan and I went outside for a quick photo session before bath time. He had already been working on his teething ring for awhile when we started, hence the red face. I am not slapping my kid around, I swear! That won't start until at least high school.

Playgroup

We had playgroup at our house today. This is Evan warming up by playing tug o war with Pearl. Evan & Blair
Brody

Evan giving Brody the "what a precious little thing" cheek pinch.
Do you know how to read?
Nah, do you?
Nah. We should just chew on this instead.

A Good Saturday

In the words of Ice Cube, "today was a good day."

We read our new book from Aunt Sara.
It was good.
We shared an ice cream sammich with Daddy.
And we hung upside down so Mommy could check out my top teeth. Not that she doesn't feel them first hand on a daily basis. Jaws.

Mmm, ice cream.

Friday Afternoon

Brian surprised us and came home early today so we were able to get in some good family time playing on the bed before Evan crashed for the night at 5:30!!



I feel like Evan should be wearing a big gold chain in this one!

'Tis the Season!

The holidays are here and I can't believe that we are almost upon Evan's first Christmas! Brian and I are so thankful for all of our friends and family who continue to celebrate Evan by sending their well wishes as well as lovely presents for the little man.
That being said, for Christmas & Evan's rapidly approaching first birthday, he will only be accepting hugs. Brian and I are requesting that if you had planned to give Evan a gift, you instead make a donation to a children's charity in his honor. This child has more stuff than we know what do to with so it seems only right that during the holidays, we share some of our blessings with those less fortunate.
Please feel free to donate to the children's charity of your choice but I would like to suggest the Books For Kids Foundation. http://www.booksforkidsfoundation.org/about.htm

** Brian and I are still accepting lavish & expensive gifts ;)

Bundling up

It has finally started to cool down in AZ! And by that I mean it is in the 70's today. But it was chilly enough this morning that Evan had to bundle up for our walk.
