My Urban Toddler
Yesterday Evan, Cam, and I met up with some friends to hang out at My Urban Toddler. It's a cute little place set up like a downtown area with a market, theater, library, art museum, fire station, and something else that I can't remember. A great time was had by all and both Cameron and Evan can't wait to go again.

The First Day of School and Monday Night Raw
The first day of school was a success! It was pretty hectic trying to get all four kids ready and out the door by 6:45am, but with planning and organization I managed to pull it off without a hitch.
All three kids were really excited to start the new year, and Cameron was the most excited. I was a bit nervous about how he was going to behave, but he got glowing reports from his Kinder teacher (DJ's old teacher) and the aftercare teachers who were used to the wild and free Cameron of last year.
DJ also received a great report, and Kayla was good overall, but has some things she needs to work on.
After school, I sat all three kids down in my room and we worked on homework and had computer time. Great Day!!!!
Last Monday DJ finally got to experience his 7th birthday present with a trip to WWE Monday Night Raw. Although I was initially a little skeptical about going but it really was a great time! I highly recommend it for a family outing!

Evan's 1st Birthday!
Evan;s 1st birthday party was yesterday and we all had a great time! Evan held up pretty well, although she was exhausted the entire time! She's not officially 1 until tomorrow (Monday), but she doesn't know the difference.
Current Faves:
~Spending her time playing with her big brothers, DJ and Cameron
~Eating table food (she hates baby food and spits it out every time)
~Going outside
~Not drinking from a cup *tear*
Milestones:
~She can stand unassisted for about a minute before she plops down on her butt, but probably won't walk for at least another month.
~Evan can say, Daddy, DJ, Eat, Hi, and Up
Stats:
~ Her 1 year check up isn't until Thursday, so I'll update then

11 months old
Well, Evan has been 11 months old for a little while now, but I'm just getting around to posting.
She is growing by leaps and bounds, getting her own little personality (complete with attitude), and it seems as if she's working pretty hard to catch up to the babies her age.
She's a crawling pro, has learned to get up the stairs unassisted, can cruise from one piece of furniture to another, and can stand on her own for about 3.5 seconds.
Evan loves to cause havoc and party when she's supposed to be sleeping and is GREAT at following directions. If she's doing something you don't want her to and tell her to stop, she will immediately and then claps her hands! However, her absolute favorite thing to do is to play with her brothers! She loves crawling into their room and hanging out. She follows them around too! If she's awake and they're still asleep she will crawl to their bedroom door and knock. It's the funniest thing!
Last week we began the transition to whole milk and so far so good. By her first birthday she'll be completely off formula if all goes well! We're still trying to get her to use the sippy cup. She knows how, but just refuses.
On Wednesday we took her to the doctor and found out that she has a congenital rib deformity called funnel chest. It causes her breathing to be labored and makes her snore like a 400lb. trucker! Her pediatrician said that it will most likely not be a problem, but I'm not convinced. She will be seeing a specialist within the next few months so we can find out what, if any, further steps need to be taken. If you look at the picture you will be able to see the way her chest dips in at the breastbone. Below that, the bottom of her ribs stick out and make her stomach look bigger as a result. If the problem does not correct itself, surgery is an option when she reaches 2 or 3 years old. My mother (being the #1 Lola that she is) has already located the top doc. in the nation for this type of surgery. I'm praying that it doesn't come to that though.
Stay tuned for pics from DJ's 7th birthday party. I can't believe he's already 7, seems like just yesterday I was heading to the hospital for his delivery.
