The Everyday Wonderful

Having Evan around is just the most wonderful thing that could have ever happened to us. He comes up with the cutest things when you think of it the least, always making us smile. Just the other day he crawled up on the couch (which he LOVES to do) with a book of ours that he had picked up off the shelf right before. Ever since he can get onto the couch, he does so constantly. The funny thing is that he totally tries to imitate us. As soon as he has his little heinie up there, he plops back into a comfortable position. Once he sits the way he feels is appropriate, he usually starts kicking his legs all leisurely. What a funny little boy! Now the other day when he took the book up onto the couch he found a cat bed there as well and decided to sit in it. He has always loved the kitty beds. He dragged them around the house even before he could even walk. If he finds a kitty bed that has a kitty sleeping in it, he will usually sneak in a cuddle or two and then tell the cat to leave her bed so that he can take it somewhere else. If they don't move he'll simply pull it out from under them, if we are not fast enough to stop him.

Also, whenever he gets tired he will walk to his crib and pick up his pacifier(s), usually as many as he can find and carry, and his little Winnie-the-Pooh blanket and keep it with him until he is peacefully sleeping in his crib. We really appreciate that he makes it so easy on us to know when he is ready for his nap. There's also increased crankyness and lots of yawning involved, but the clearst of all his tired signs is the "I want my lovey" sign! He's just so full of cuteness!
