Miscellaneous happenings (& other fun stuff)

This one was hard to title because it has been a while since I've blogged. A lot has happened in the last few weeks of August. We went to Columbia for a few nights on a work trip for Kyle. Kyle's parents came to KC for a visit. I met Georgia for the first time. My parents celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary! Uncle Brian had a birthday. So here are a few pictures and captions.

Here he is with his left hand in his mouth - he usually prefers right but today was an exception!

Remember his first bumbo pic? Now look how tall he is sitting.

Before learning how to suck on his own fingers, there were Grandpa's. He & my dad were totally into the golf tourny on tv.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Bri! On our Columbia trip, Evan and Brian had lots of fun times.
Little Georgia Gray. My friend Megan's little girl was born mid-July. I got to meet her a few weekends ago. She is adorable. Strange that I already said "I forget how tiny they [newborns] are." I feel like an old veteran instead of the rookie that I really am. Congrats, Megan & Ben.
My parents celebrated 35 years of marriage this week! Amazing. As my dad said, "we get to celebrate our marriage every day." Too sweet. Love to you both.

Nana (Vicki) & Evan. Bruce & Vicki came up to see us (Evan). The bad news, he is such a big napper that we waited around for several hours for him to wake up to play. The good news is now he is taking shorter naps during the day.

Uncle Jeff came over, too.

My favorite picture taken today...sucking on his fingers. I used to suck my thumb so I was waiting to see if he did the same. Looks like fingers for now.

Evan at 3 months

I can't believe the little guy is 3 months old! He seems so grown up already. I already miss the newborn stage.

Evan looking at the ducks at Loose Park.

Here he is trying out his new big boy toys - the Entertainer & Bumbo.

Having a fit with Grandma.
His new favorites...the ceiling fan and his froggy. Love how he holds things now.Stacey & Finley came for a visit... Evan LOVED watching her. Finley was so cute with him, she showed him his toys and told him "stories".

Anniversary

Kyle & I just celebrated our anniversary last week - 3 years! I thought I'd share with you pictures from our honeymoon in Maui - the most amazing place I've ever been. Oh, to be back there on those beaches with a mai tai. Happy Anniversary, honey!

1st Springfield Visit & Meeting GGma Fern

Evan went on his 1st visit to Springfield last weekend. He had a lot of fun at Nana and Papa's house, but we learned that he is already having "stranger anxiety" and that he really NEEDS his sleep.

Here he is with Nana talking and telling stories. He's making lots of new consonant-vowel sound combinations!

His fascination with books is amazing!
He loved taking a bath...we got a few true laughs out of him.
We made a brief trip to Tablerock Lake on Kyle's bday. Kyle got a few pics with him on the boat before going out to ski.

A picture showing E-man's temper. It's zero to 100 in seconds for this guy.Great Grandma Fern and Evan...I LOVE this picture. We love the expression on his face in this one...4 generations of McCurry's!
