Ice cream on a hot day...

It's hot. Really hot outside. But if you've ever lived in the Deep South, this 95+ weather is nothing. Jason and I are a bit used to it, but poor Evan. We took him swinging Saturday afternoon, and after 10 minutes, his face was bright red from the heat. No pool for us this weekend. Perhaps next?...

Amy, a friend from college, was in Baltimore for a conference and stayed an extra day to visit the Mears family. Evan had a blast hanging out with her and showing her his "ice cream on a hot day" interpretive dance. He was rolling over and over and over on the floor after having some Bruster's ice cream. He's so goofy!Let's see...any new updates on Evan...he's talking a lot more recently. He is really enunciating the "p" in "up", still says alligator, apple, vroom (for cars).

Yesterday morning Jason and I were trying to eat breakfast so to keep Evan busy and out of trouble (he'd already eaten), I dumped out one of his puzzles on the floor, told him to put it back together, and bring it to Mommy and Daddy once he's done. Sure enough, a few minutes later, here comes Evan strolling in the kitchen holding a puzzle that is totally completed. So brilliant! He makes me smile just thinking about it!

Evan has also gotten 2 more teeth. They're on the top, and I'm not sure if they're right beside his front 4 or if there's a gap and then the new teeth. But believe me, they're in there! No molars yet, but he doc said they're on their way down soon.

Healthwise, everyone's feeling better. Evan's done with his cold with the exception of a little nasal drainage. Daisy's acting like she used to and really doesn't want us to help her off the bed or up/down the stairs. She isn't listening to her doctor's orders very well. But it's great to see her back to her playful self again!
