6 Weeks

Jan weighed Evan at our 6 week appointment and found that he has gained 4 pounds since he was born. 10 pounds 7.5 ounces. Daniel will miss playing with the school bus and dinosaur at Jan's office, but Mommy won't miss going there for awhile. :-)

After collecting good ideas off of Pinterest, I decided to try one. :-) Daniel LOVED this toy and spent the entire morning (we're talking hours of uninterrupted play) with this simple idea. The only drawback is that I have to make sure I'm right there in case he decides to dump the popcorn all over the place or tries to eat some. So far so good. He keeps telling me, "No eat!"
We'll make sure he doesn't play with it in the sun this summer. ;-)

The grain shoot is made from a milk carton. The silo is made from two yogurt containers (the penguin tower on the right). It has a little door that opens to allow the stored grain to dump into the truck.

Mom brought her friend, Cindy, for a quick visit. Mom and Cindy were best friends all through high school, etc. Cindy lives in Washington state now, but we sure enjoy her visits. She is a fun person and loves knitting and quilting! She is counting down the days until she retires from Physical Therapy in order to make all the things she has ideas for and to visit grandkids frequently.

My beautiful mother!

All dressed for a walk in the cold. Asleep in the pack.

Daniel is always asking for pictures of "two boy, two boy."

My cousin, Kathi, came over after work on Tuesday. What a treat. She read books, played, and held Evan. Daniel couldn't say her name but he kept trying. Through the evening it morphed from "Kevin" to "Caffeine."
