Emma's Entry

Evan in his cool new shades

Evan was Mr Cool Dude this week :). We had some lovely weather and seeing as it was a bank holiday and the shops would be busy we decided to walk to Mothercare. We both sneezed quite a bit on the way so I do hope he is not going to inherit my hayfever allergies... We borrowed some hats from our friend Sue but Evan has outgrown them already so I decided to splash out on some new hats for my cutie pie and to help with his light sensitivity we have bought him some Baby Banz sunglasses - they look fab!

Evan discovered his Finding Nemo beach ball in his bedroom this week. I was supposed to be getting him ready for bed and keeping him calm but he loves his bedroom so much that it actually gets him all excited instead! I had him sitting on his dresser facing the wall with me holding his back, at first we were just admiring the pictures on the walls but then he nudged his ball. The ball bounced around on top of the dresser and it just had Evan giggling the whole time. It was really funny and unfortunately we were unable to get any footage on the video camcorder...

I have started reading to Evan at night time as I was hoping it would help calm him down. However, reading in his bedroom is not working as he spends all his time looking around and fidgeting, we now read out in the hallway on the floor because that has boring surroundings and he will actually look at the book with me :).

Story time :)

Last week I was saying how much better Evan's neck control is and how he hardly ever lets his head flop down onto us now. Well, he likes to prove me wrong! Evan is a pukey boy - he really could puke for England in the World Puking Olympics if there was such a thing! This week he was up on Emma's shoulder after a feed and she was giving him his usual pat on the back to wind him when out blurted a couple of gallons of puke! That's not the best part though - he then plopped his face right down into it! It covered his whole face, he snorted it up his nose; it even managed to get in his eyelashes!! Imagine the marketing possibilities - Puke-encrusted mascara! :D

This week was another week for baby firsts - Evan blew his first raspberry, aww :) We've been blowing raspberries at him since he was tiny, it used to scare him sometimes when he was really little but he grew to like it and I always do it on his tummy now when I change him. Recently he's been getting a bit better at doing things with his mouth - he can now spit out something he doesn't like (such as puke!) and he blows bubbles. He can only seem to manage the raspberries when he has a gob full of saliva so he kinda just spits at us but it's still very cute :)
