Sunday Hike

We are really taking advantage of the weather and our new hiking backpack. Saturday we did the Pinnacle Peak hike and brunch with the Bergmanns and Sunday afternoon we ventured out to Cave Creek to try a new hike, Overton Trail. It was nice, aside from how it seemed more like 5 miles instead of the 1.9 it actually was. Dodging horse paddies and appeasing a whining toddler will do that....
19 weeks, almost halfway there! I honestly don't know how I could get any bigger. Long summer straight ahead!

This is to demonstrate how much Evan has grown since last summer!


Evan now likes to get in Pearl's kennel. Oddly enough, Pearl hasn't gone in it for MONTHS and now all of the sudden, she's in there all the time.
This is Evan's idea of smiling whilst eating graham crackers. Thanks for the cool Matchbox car shirt, Aunt Carol!

Officially A Girl

We had our 18 week ultrasound yesterday and in the words of the tech, "It's definitely a little girl". Here she is!

Looks like she will be joining the Olympic Cross Country Ski Team.

Brian had to throw this one in there to show it is really a girl. I am not sure if this can be consider child pornography or not so no one report us!
Everyone is asking about names and she does have a name but we are not sharing it just yet. You see, we Petersons are on the cutting edge of fashion and style (anyone who has seen my sweatpant collection knows this) and we are wary that people will steal our oh-so-chic baby girl name. Silly, I know, but I don't want to hear any complaints.
Jill J., Katie Z., Alyssa M. I am talking to you!

Friday

We went to play in the baby pool at Morgan's on Friday.

A bit thirsty.
After Morgan's, we went to Auntie Chiara's to meet baby Jemma. Born on the 10th.
"Seriously Brian, enough is enough"
She finally opened her eyes.


Evan decided if I was going to hold Chiara's baby then Chiara was going to hold him. Take that, Mama.

Two Year Stats

Evan had his two year appointment on Wednesday and he was SO good at the doctor's office. We had to wait for the NP for about 30 minutes in the exam room and he played around in his diaper and had the best time. Here are the stats:

Height: 34 1/2" - 70 percentile

Weight: 28 lbs - 50 percentile

Head: 49 1/2 cm - 50 percentile

What a big boy he has become!

Birthday Weekend Extravaganza

The whole Peterson/May clan came down for the birthday weekend.
Here Uncles Gee Gee & Boo are putting together Evan's new play tent. With 100+ balls.

Cupcake Round 2.

Evan likes to wipe his own mouth...with his shirt.
A morning walk.

The party favors. In theory, it was a good idea to tie favors to balloons. However, we did not take into account the gusting winds at the park. Most of the balloons popped!


Aunt Andie saves Evan from the misters.
Cupcake Round 3. Pretty much all Evan ate on Saturday.
Delicious.

New Elmo hat from Babi & Baba. Awesome.
Partying really makes a guy thirsty. The cupcakes probably helped.

16 weeks....and some cupcakes.Relaxing post party.
