Poor Evan

Since Saturday we've been fighting a bad diaper rash. I ended up calling his Doctor's office to see if there was anything I could do that I didn't know about because Evan has been miserable during changes. The nurse insisted that I bring him in. This was good because I wanted to know how much he weighs and his measurements because he's been on the small side and he seemed to grow a lot since his last visit on August 11th.

Last visit stats
Weight: 15.52 in the 0.57 %tile
Length: 28.25 inches in the 50.29 %tile
Head: 17.6 inches in the 32.1 %tile

Today's Visit
Weight: 17.35 in the 2.06 %tile
Length: 29.4 inches in the 63.75 %tile
Head: 18 inches in the 45.8 %tile

I was right! I'm so happy! Two pounds in a month is good for him and his bum is on the road to a recovery.

Those Pearly Whites!

After Evan has been teething for what it seemed like since he turned 3 months, I noticed today that he finally cut a tooth! He is a biter so maybe it was a good thing that he was toothless for a while.

This is how he's taking it so far.


Sorry our camera is pretty old so you can't see it but it's there! He wont hold still long enough for me to really take a good look at it and he always has his hand on or in his mouth.


He's such a silly little boy! We are both grateful that he's not a monster when it comes to teething.

Elmo's World

I've always loved Sesame Street growing up but I don't know when it's on so Evan can see it. Do they even air it still? Anyways, Amy and I walked to Blockbuster this morning because there is a new release I've been wanting to watch. I decided to get Evan a movie while I was there so it can entertain him while I get work done. There wasn't any Sesame Street movies but Elmo's World is close enough. I think it's a cute show but I love hearing Evan laugh even more. I think it's safe to get Evan a dog when the time comes because he loves them. Anything that makes a dog noise he laughs at. So here's to more cute laughing from Evan.



P.S Evan walks from side to side in his little play pin without holding onto the edges so it wont be long before he's walking. Today I'm seeing more signs of him standing on his own.

The Quest

The Quest to Perfection and BYU is on it's way especially if they play the rest of the season like they did today. The game was perfection and our season tickets were worth every penny just to see that game alone! We just couldn't believe how well our defense and offense were doing. Congratulations to Max Hall for a splendid performance and for tieing the school record with seven touchdown passes!

In your face ESPN for talking down to our COUGS! Show some repect!


Before the game we bought our Quest shirts. I really wanted Evan to have one but all they had was a Childs Small. I got it anyways. He looks cute in it.

He is saying, "Go Cougs!"


After the amazing shutout


And Matt and I at the game. Evan was having fun with Grandma Felt


P.S
Utes have been haveing a great season as well but we are die hard Cougar fans.

Laughing

It's a couple of days late but Evan turned 10 Months Tuesday. Just 2 more months and we have a 1 year old!

Evan has been laughing for a long time now but I don't think I ever recorded it for you guys to hear. I think it's so cute. He really likes our phones. Actually, I take that back. He LOVES them! We have two hand sets and one of them you can't hear out of it because he drooled all over the ear piece. He was trying to get the phone but to salvage the one that works, I took it away and he started laughing. I just kept doing it and than decided to get it on video. He was a little distracted by the camera but there are still some good laughs.

Rubber Duckie You're the One!

Evan you make bath time lots of FUN!

Evan's First BYU Game

On August 30th was Evan's first BYU game. There aren't any pictures during the game because we were too excited. It was also hot so I was a little busy keeping him cool. At one point I had to go below to get him to nap because it happened to be a longer game than usual because of all the injuries. A lot of mothers and their babies were doing the same thing because it was just too hot. Evan survived and had a great time. He was so cute sporting his new BYU hat and shirt. Here are two pictures of him before the game.




BYU started off the season with a victory and today they won against Washington away from home. It was an amazing game. As much as I love being in the stadium, it was nice to be indoors where it was air conditioned. GO COUGERS!!!

Always Keep the Bathroom Door Closed

Or you will get this...


I guess it's better that he flushes the toilet than having him pulling all the toilet paper off the spinner.

Evan is just getting so fast! I was working in the Living Room and I see him leave through the kitchen. He was gone less than a minute and all of a sudden I hear the toilet flushing. It actually scared me at first because I really didn't know what it was. When I realized it was the toilet I went to go get him. I set him back down in the Living Room and I saw him wonder back through the kitchen. He did it again so I had to get a picture :). When he was down again, he made a b-line to the bathroom and started laughing so I followed him and closed the door. He knows how to keep his mom on her toes.

We Bleed Blue!!

One last day before kick off! Go Cougars!!!

Bomb Shelter

That's right! We have one. Any family or friends that have been to our place have seen our bomb shelter but it really wasn't much to look at because the previous owners have left a lot of junk and having a few things of ours down there it was a mess! After living in this house a little over a year, we finally cleaned it out starting late Friday night after Evan went to bed and finished Saturday late afternoon. We thought the shelter could have been just a place for storage but it had to be a bomb shelter because the old guy that built and used to live here had it wired for everything. Our suspicions were confirmed when we found a key labeled "Fall Out". Anyways, we finally have a place to store our food storage so we're both really excited about it. I guess it can serve it's purpose if we ever do get bombed but I hope that will never happen. We are the only ones in the area with one and it's a running joke in our ward that they can store their food storage at our place. For those that haven't seen it, it extends out into the backyard and it's below the basement. Here are some pictures for you to see! We are so proud.


It looks like you are stepping back into the 60's.

This shows you how big the place is. Matt is about 6' tall.



After we spent all that time cleaning, we went to Spanish Fork to visit with both family's. We swam and had a great time seeing everyone. On our way home Matt wanted to look for a flat bed scanner so while he was looking at them, I stayed in the car with Evan. I had a great idea just to take pictures of him whether he was smiling or not so you can see the many different faces of Evan Thompson.



Evan is starting to dance to music. It's been fun!
