Evan The Climber

Evan you can't walk yet but you can climb! You were in the toy room and you wanted a certain toy. Instead of screaming because you can't get to the toy you got in the bucket and got the toy yourself! You also wanted to get into your walker. So I put you in and about 10 minutes later I found you sitting on the walker. Your such a ham...you keep me on my toes all day long that's for sure!

Toby's Potty Trained!!!

It's been forever since I have posted on here......I will catch up little by little but today I am so happy to say that Toby is FINALLY potty trained! Only 1 more to go! Yay!!!!! Good job buddy! You love to come in and tell your father and I that your are going potty! I'm going potty Mommy!!!!!! And run into the bathroom all sorts of excited! It's great! I am so proud of you!

Tie Your Shoes!

After many of training sessions with Dad (a few with Mom) you FINALLY can tie your shoes!!!!!!! We wondered if you were ever able to do it, but one day you told me that you could and I said and I needed you to show me that you really can and you did! Ya Avery!!!!!!!! Great job buddy!

ER Avery

Avery you have been doing so well with your spelling words, you have know to 107 words by sight by the end of your 1st grade year. You already know 95 of them NOW...Wow...I know your awesome....Anyways last week you got 7/10 on your spelling test the previous 3 weeks you had gotten 100%. So we were working on your spelling words and you were struggling with the word UNDER. You kept spelling the word without the letter E. So I repeat ER Avery...I did this about 5 or 6 times. So Toby walked around the house saying ER Avery.....ER Avery....You kids crack me up, I don't know what I would do without you guys! This picture above was taken when you were waiting for Grandma and Grandpa Robertson to come get you and take you to get Ice Cream, to celebrate you doing so well in school Avery, of course Toby got to come along this time at least!

Evan

Love this guy! He has been my happiest baby! Not that the other 2 haven't been happy, Avery you were my easiest baby, such a easy going guy I loved it! Toby you were my snuggle baby, you love blankets like your daddy and you loved to snuggle with him or me, Evan is my giggly baby you can make him smile no matter what! I love it!

No Throwing Food

Toby you learned very quickly not to throw food. You didn't want to eat you dinner so you decided to scream in the living room to protest what I was trying to give you for dinner, when I made you come in the kitchen you threw a huge fit and when I put your plate in front of you, you picked it up and threw it on the ground, I made you pick it up and put it back on the plate, you the whole entire time kept saying ewwww gross Mom! I kept saying well, if you didn't throw it on the ground you wouldn't have to be picking it up! Ha! Sorry!

6 Months Ago...

Above....right after birth and very pissed...below...not quite 6 months with Uncle Ben

It was 6 months ago today that I gave birth to a little boy named Evan! Time sure has flown by Mr Evan! You are such a fun boy I am so happy to have you in our family! You smile all the time, you love to talk and giggle. I love you my chunky monkey! Above is a picture of you and Uncle Ben, he wanted proof that he has infact held you! Look at your chunky cheeks and thunder thighs! I love it! Babies are supposed to be chunky!!!!!! Love you Evan!!

We have been potty training you Toby, and for a while you were doing awesome then you started going backwards, currently you will take all of your clothes off from the waist down AFTER you pee'd in your pants!!! You love your big boy pants it's quite cute! Here you are multi tasking...going see and brushing your teeth! Go you!

Drool Is Cool

Evan your favorite thing to do right now is to suck on your fist...and to drool on my shoulder! The moment I put you up over my shoulder you start to suck away! I had to change my shirt the other day because you soaked it! Your getting so big!!!

My Boys!

I finally was able to get a picture of all three of you guys! Only took 3 months but it's finally done!! Avery was happy and smiled wonderfully, Toby was giggling the whole time and Evan just layed there like a lump on a log...what can you expect your not even 3 months old! I have such cute boys!

Evan's Newest Buddy

Aunt Tammy gave you this puppy to play with and as you can see in the first picture you didn't like it at ALL, but you caved and now you like to hug him! Being only 2 1/2 months old it's kinda funny! All in all your still quite cute!

If You Give Toby A Pudding Cup.....

This is what will happen! You got a bath tonight, that's for sure!

Evan updates

I am going to list off some random things about you Evan before I forget them. I am sure I have forgotten some already, it's crazy to think you have been apart of our lives for 2 months already!

1. When you were first born you would Hoot like an owl. You would be passed out asleep and out of no where you would start to hoot! You still will do it now but not nearly as often as you did before.

2. When you were born you came out PISSED....Screaming at the top of your lungs...it was the best cry ever! With both of your older brothers being NICU babies I was so happy you were not going to be one!

3. Like your brother Toby you love to sleep in your car seat...you also like to sleep on your belly but it for some reason scares me so until your older your sleeping in your car seat!

4. You are a Mommy's boy...for now! Toby is such a Daddy's boy and Avery is in the middle...so it's so NICE to have a Mama's boy..for now! It's nice to have you want to snuggle with me! I love it!

5. You have gone through 3 different types of formula so far and 2 different types of diapers and 2 different types of wipes!!! We think your stomach doesn't agree with Milk so we might be switching you to Soy here soon! The diapers and wipes it was just you skin didn't like certain types so we had to switch around!

6. You LOVE blankets..you are already like Toby & Daddy! Blankets with you at all times!

7. You will sleep whenever I am awake...the MOMENT I close my eyes.....you wake up! And at night you like to fuss and make noise and still be asleep...you fuss just enough to wake me up I check on you (your bed is right next to my side of the bed) and your passed out....Some nights it drives me bonkers!

8. You grunt more than any kid I know! You will sitting there and just start grunting away, it's really quite funny!

9. You LOVE being held....you will throw a HUGE fit until someone picks you up, then you are happy and usually fall asleep but if we put you down, man alive you get pissed!!!

10. I love you & your brothers so much! I am glad you are apart of our family!

Evan!

Evan you have gotten so big! At your 2 week checkup you were 5lbs 9 oz and at 6 weeks you were 9lbs 10 oz! That's 1 lbs a week gain! You LOVE to eat! I had to go back to work yesterday and I hate not being with you and your brothers, I would do anything to be a stay at home mom full time! I love to be with you guys! I had your newborn pictures taken when you were 2 weeks old, she does such an awesome job! Here are some of my favorite pictures of you!

Evan Shaffer

So baby brother Evan is finally here! Born March 30th 2010 at 10:48 AM he was 6lbs 4oz and 18 inches long, the exact same as Toby! Toby you keep calling him your baby and Avery you were more interested in playing with Toby when we were up at the hospital, when people asked if you liked your new baby brother you let out this HUGE sigh and said....yeahhhhhhh! LOL boys are so funny! I love you boys, I can't believe I am a Mom of you all!
