The After Bath

ERIN AKA MOM: Here's a video clip of Evan after his bath. He loves being in the water which makes Brian happy because he is looking forward to taking him to swimming lessons. Evan especially loves having his hair washed. He leans back and closes his eyes and smiles. And he turns his head from side to side to help when I'm rinsing it off. We got a special concoction of tar and sulpher from the pharmacist yesterday for his cradle cap. It goes on his scalp before bed. I was anxious to wash it off this morning because as you can imagine, it doesn't smell very nice. But I can already see a big improvement in his skin. I rubbed some baby oil on his head after and brushed it in and the skin just flaked right off. The other thing we went to the doctor for was confirmed...he does have eczema like his dad but fortunately it is a very mild case. I'm just putting some cortate cream on the patches in case it is itchy. If it was, he would have no way of scratching it and no way of telling us. Can you imagine how aweful that would be? It really doesn't seem to bother him at all though. He is so happy. The fun thing lately is how he makes eye contact and gurgles and coos when you talk to him. The doctor yesterday noticed Evan doing this to him and he said he was "very engaging". Then we went to Starbucks afterwards and Evan was flirting with all the baristas. Brian would have been proud. That's my son!

DAD AKA BRIAN: Wow all I did was do some running around today and now there is video of my half naked son on the web. I think next time I do some running around Evan will be coming with me. LOL. Erin is very good at capturing the great moments. As for the flirting with the baristas and waitresses last night at dinner, Evan comes by it very naturally. I guess flirting is genetic in our family and since Dad can not flirt anymore, Evan just took over in that department and is doing very well. WAY TO GO SON!

THREE MONTHS OLD TODAY

DAD: I can not believe that it has been three months since you arrived into this world. I have to say that this has been the best 3 months of my life. I think that today might be the day that he doubles his birth weight and I hope that everyone has enjoyed all the pictures over the last 3 months. I LOVE YOU SON (hey he will be able to read this at some point).

ERIN: Wow, 3 months already... where has the time gone! This little guy is growing up so fast. Here is a picture of him this morning. We have big plans for his birthday today. We are going to the doctor to check out Evan's skin. It looks like maybe a severe case of cradle cap on his head and maybe some eczema on his chest and tummy. He gets the eczema from his dad. Poor kid. Ok, so it's not that exciting of a birthday but we'll have a little celebration tonight when Dad gets home. And of course I will be eating a piece of cake in your honor Evan... I may even eat it for breakfast.

More later, with the results from the doctor's visit. I'm hoping they will weigh him while we're there too... I'm guessing close to 14lbs.

The Rejects

DAD: Everyone has different sides to them and I do not look at these pictures as rejects. I just look at them as another side of Evan that I love as well. Every pic of this little guy is a keeper. The best part is being able to close my eyes and remember the whole process of getting these pictures and how much fun it was at the time.

Can you tell that I miss the little guy today. LOL.

Erin: Well, of course they're not really rejects since obviously I found them suitable enough to post on the blog. All I can say is how can someone look so cute while being so crabby.

The Good Ones

DAD: Tell me that I am not a lucky man. Look at this little guy. Amazing. I have said it many times but man when he smiles, it just makes everything else in life just fade away into the background. This morning when I went to pick him up out of the crib and change him before breakfast he just looked up at me and smiled. That was just the best part of the day. How could anyone start the day better than that. The change table is the place where he busts out the big smiles. That is the main reason that I love to change diapers. He just lies there on the table and smiles the whole time. I will tickle him after he is changed for 5 minutes and the smile never goes away. Every day this little guy teaches me to enjoy life.

The Photo Op

This is a face that we are quite familiar with. We went to the Baby and Family Fair yesterday and Eclipse Photography had a booth set up. We thought it would be fun to enter Evan in the photo contest but as you can see, he had other ideas. He was not the most cooperative model.

Note to self: when getting baby photos done make sure baby has a full tummy first and do not wake him up from a deep sleep right before putting him in front of the camera. Oh well, now we know.
