3 Months and Growing!

Well today Evan is 3 months old.. haha yes I tend to celebrate monthly until I loose count :)

but he is getting so big and cuter than ever.... i love my little man, he is my everything!!! He doesn't go back to the doctor untill his 4 month check-up but I wanted to know how much he weighed; so while at my brothers open house (hes a freshie at HCHS) I went and visited my favorite teacher ever and weighed him in her room (she just happened to have a baby scale)...... he weighs roughly 13lbs... he had his clothes on and all... so i was like "golly gee you fatty"... but he is soo precious!!

Going back to the open house.... Henry County High is so flippin' huge... holy cow I got lost more than once... it goes from the 100 hall to the 1000 hall.... its ridiculus!!! Ha and my brother just about has to go back and forth the whole day (haha)

My future plans still remain the same, I still intended on going to Griffin Tech. (for what I still don't know)... actually I woudn't mind at all being an EMT, but I really don't want to risk missing Evans first christmas or birthday or any of that good stuff.. so forget that.... I'm not really sure what I am going to do.... I do know that I am going to take an Auto Mechanic Class, I think it will be a good spend of money!!... Which reminds me of this one time me and a really good friend of mine said we would open up a female mechanic shop... haha.. we still might do it!!

Evan is the cutest bundle of joy around and I love that little baby.... He is starting to be more fussy at night and he likes to throw up occasionally ( and that usually ends up all over me)... but he is getting so much better. He is also sleeping 5-8 hours at night ( which puts me in a way better mood through out the day).... All in all... things are well!!!

It's a Name Thing!

okay... so i lied about the scrat thing... its not sticking what so ever!!... no name really seems to stick.. maybe its not time for a nickname.... i guess i will have to stick to punkin or chunky for now...

i like nicknames... and i think they are special.. and you don't neccessairly have to have the same nickname for everyone to call you...

like me... my aunt Gina calls me tator.. she always has and she is the ONLY one who calls me that.. its special... and my pawpaw (who has passed) used to call me tootsie pop... that was special too....

so i want it to be special... but then again i want him to have a name ppl can call him besides evan... i don't know y i just think its cool.....

so for now its punkin, chunk, grunt, scooter (thats a new one) and josh calls him "jig-a-boo" and mama calls him sweet potatoe.... and josh's mom calls him jelly bean.. so i don't know... i personally don't think any of these will stick and we will have to wait till he gets a little older to figure it out!!

Who (or what) is a scrat??

So... me and Josh have really been trying to find a nickname for Evan... punkin, lil' man, jelly bean, and sweet potaote have already been takin'... We wanted something different... something that everyone doens't use... something that would stick and not get worn off when he gets older.... so after a few dozen ideas.... we finally agreed on something..... "Scrat"

Why Scrat... not really sure.... oh and if u don't know who scrat is... he is the squir off of Ice Age who is always chasing after the acorn.... but anywho.... Evan looks exactly like him with the big eyes and cute bushy tail :).......... So now you know!!!!

So... I'll be a follower!!!

So... I seen that my lovely friend Nicole is participating in a "blog hop" .... and this weeks theme is "Favorite Picture"... wow I have soo many favorite pictures especially now since Evan has became my main focus!! So I split it up........ my favorite picture before Evan....

this is a lion at the Wild Safari at pine mountian... it reminds me of something off the lion king!!

And my favorite picture after Evan..... this was while he was in the NICU...just a couple of days old..... and already smiling :)

So i just might make this a weekly thing!!!

2 months

So yes it's been a while... inbetween feedings and diappers and trying to catch some "me" time to eat or shower... it has been a hectic month.... but there is some good stuff going on around here :)

Evan is 2 months old

10lbs 9oz

22 inces long

Healthy

Stomach issues... but its getting better

He is holding his head up more more every day

I think he'll be crawling by the end of the summer

sleeping longer at nights 5-6 hours (which makes me happy)

so overall things are great.... he has been quite the fussy one though lately and is a spoiled rotten child... loves being held!!

This was at Josh's Cousin's Wedding in Tennessee..... needless to say, Evan is not quite ready for 5 hour trips, but he was overall a good baby and I'm glad me and josh got to spend alot of time together, no tv.. no phone... just us talking... it was good!!! And the wedding was beautiful :)
