1st professional sporting event

Here is Evan and Ben at the Minnesota Swarm game (Lacrosse) on March 4th, 2007. Evan absolutely loved it! He enjoys watching sports, so this was perfect for him! He had a great time looking around at everything!

1st Valentine's Day

Here is Evan and the first Valentine that "he" ever made for us at daycare! Thanks Bug! We love you too!

Hockey player in training!!?!

Ben thinks so! In January, we got Evan fitted for a corrective helmet to fix his flat head. Apparently, we are finding that this problem is quite common, especially since babies sleep on their backs now. One of Evan's little buddies had to wear one too.
Evan also had to participate in some physical therapy for his torticollis (weak neck muscles). He only had a few visits, and now it seems to be gone. He had a very mild case of it. Hopefully, the helmet thing will be done in April. I miss seeing his blond hair! And that dang helmet hurts when it smacks me in the face!

1st New Year's Eve

Evan got to spend New Year's Eve with my parents so Ben and I could go out for dinner with some friends at Joe's Garage in Minneapolis.

1st Christmas

He has no idea what he is doing! We spent Christmas Eve at Judy and Terry's (Ben's aunt and uncle). This has been a tradition for years. It was the last one, however, because Judy and Terry are selling their house and moving to Florida. :( We went to midnight mass at St. Joe's Catholic Church with my family on Christmas Eve. Then, we spent Christmas Day at my mom and dad's house with my mom's side of the family.

1st Christmas Card Photo

This was the best one we took. Too bad he didn't smile! :(

1st teeth

Evan got two teeth in December, about 2 weeks apart. He drooled more than normal, but was barely fussy. I've heard horror stories about teething, so I was pleased with Evan's experience. This picture does not show the teeth....I just thought it was so cute!

6 months

My parents gave Evan this little Twins uniform, so we had him wear it for his 6 months photos. Go Twins! 2006 Division Champions!

1st time to Wisconsin!

We went to LaCrosse, Wisconsin to visit Aunty Mary and Lance in the beginning of December. Mary was finishing up her undergraduate degree in art at the University Of Wisconsin, LaCrosse, and she had her art displayed at the senior art show at the gallery on campus. Here, she stands with Evan in front of her favorite print (Geisha).

1st Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, 2006, we went to Kozlak's for lunch with Ben's family, and then over to my parents for dinner. We were so stuffed! Here is Evan with the turkey....which he didn't even get to eat!
