Home, finally...

We got to take Evan home Sunday afternoon. What a relief! He's still sick with his cold but he sounds better today than he did yesterday. He's starting to get some of his appetite back so hopefully we'll have our normal Evan back!

On another note, I go back to work in about 2 1/2 weeks and am dreading it and am happy about it at the same time. Why can't someone pay me to just stay home and occassionally work? I suppose I could find a job like this but then they probably wouldn't pay me what I want. :)

Another hospital stay

So I'm beginning to think Evan is going to grow up and work in a hospital! Friday I took him to the doctor for what appeared to be a cold but due his slightly high temp the doctor wanted him to go to the hospital for some blood work and "observation." Little did I know we'd be spending the weekend being "observed". His temp is back down but they want to keep him until Sunday to be sure it's not something worse than a cold. I feel so bad for the little guy - he sounds terrible with the coughing and sneezing. But at least his spirits are still good - he'll still give me a smile every once in a while. We are just crossing our fingers that all of his tests come back good tomorrow and we get to go home by lunch time. We'll keep you posted....

Evan's 6 week old pictures

We decided we couldn't wait til he was 3 months old to get good pictures so we took Evan this week to have his picture taken. They did a great job and he even smiled in 2 of them! Take a look: http://smilestore.picturepeople.com/my/images?tk=dc2436e6-b6a6-4858-b7ce-58826e585a48

Just some cute pictures....

I love this little man!

In his sunday best!

Welcome Mason Thomas Pruce!

My brother Frank and his wife Jennifer had their son, Mason Thomas, yesterday - 2/11/09 at 7:33pm. Mason weighed 8lbs 1oz and was 21 1/2 inches long! He's such a cutie!! Both mom and baby are doing great! Evan was excited to meet his cousin finally - it was such a long day for Evan that as soon as he met his cousin he fell asleep! :) We are all so excited for Jen and Frank and are so excited to have Evan and Mason grow up together!

My big boy

Evan had his 1 month check up today and man, he is a big boy! He weighed 11lbs today and measured 23 1/2 inches long! He's in the 75 percentile for weight and in the 80's for his height/length. He's destined to play sports for sure!
Good thing we didn't buy many newborn clothes - those only fit for about a week or two! I don't really understand how they decide that 3-6 month sized clothes are meant to fit a 3-6 month old baby? Evan's only a month old and already wearing these sized clothes! And, to continue being the gushing parent - he gave me his first "real" smile today! And I say "real" because he smiles while sleeping often but this was a true smile while awake! I only got to see it twice today but it made my day! Now if I could just capture it on camera so everyone else can see it....

Snow, snow and more snow!!

I'm so ready for spring.....

At least they like this weather!

!

Steelers won the superbowl!

No one could be more excited than Grandpa Frank!

Evan was pretty happy as well!!
