Today, Evan is five months old. Holy crap, dude. Time is flying...I told Mike last night that we were going to blink and he was going to be one. Things are changing so fast, and he is learning so much, it truly is amazing.
On the day he was born, it snowed (I think, from what I remember or could see from my window at Hamot). Maybe Mike could confirm that. It snowed, and my brothers had a sub for dinner. That's about all I remember. Today, it is 85 degrees and humid, and we are sitting around in our underwear. Five months is a long time.
He's quadrupled his birth weight, learned how to eat, smile, babble, hold his head up, play, and a million other little things. Mike and I have learned how to take care of him, and interpret his babbles and cries, Every day is something new for all three of us.
I hope in the coming months we all continue to learn and grow together. I hope that Mike and I can be the teachers and caregivers that Evan needs, and I hope I catch up on the laundry. I'm excited that our friends and family are with us to watch him grow, and I want other friends and family who have never met him to be able to see him for the first time. He's everything to us and we want to share that with people.
For today, we're going to have a bath, and maybe play outside a little bit. Sounds like a good way to spend the day.
