Quick start to 2008

2008 is here and what a rapid speed it is here.... Evan started really walking on his own on Christmas Eve (see video) and that has left Dan and I chasing after him. He loves his independence and looks forward to all his new discoveries.

By Jan 5th, he was mastering climbing up the stairs at his Uncle's birthday party... and now he thinks he wants to try to climb back down. And just the other day, he pulled up a crate at daycare to climb onto the sofa... he's definitely fearless.

Now that Evan is confident in his walking skills, he's also taking a crack at talking. He babbles a lot and still only says mama and dada. But we have had incidents when he clearly has uttered "bath time", "yeah", "hi" and "bye"... but unfortunately, this has only happened once... so far. He doesn't say them often, but he speaks as clear as you and I.

Now that Evan is 14months, we are testing him with milk. He definitely has a milk allergy, but it appears that he's starting to tolerate milk products more and more and LOVES cheese... we gave him a spoonful of ice cream at the mall and he then began to stalk a little 6yr old for his Dairy Queen Blizzard... so I think Evan liked it.

There isn't too much new on the 'non baby front'.... well except our above the stove microwave broke. Good thing we have Dan's old one... but who know how much it'll cost to fix it... maybe cheaper to get a new one... but those aren't cheap...

And I'll end these thoughts on an important note.......

NY Giants vs. New England Patriots in the Superbowl on Feb. 3rd!!!! WHAT... the Giants?? They beat Dallas??? Green Bay??? well, if they could that, then they should be in the bowl... and I personally was routing for Green Bay for a couple reasons... (1) I wanted a rematch from a Superbowl many moons ago which Drew Bledsoe couldn't win (2) I think the Pats will have an easier time against Green Bay.... The Pats barely beat the Giants... who knows what will happen on Feb 3....
