We had a really wonderful trip to El Paso!! This was Evan's first over-night vacation, and he did so well. We went to see all our family (Evan hadn't even met several members!) and for our annual celebration of my Aunt Patsy's birthday. The four of us flew down together on Thursday, and then Barrett left early Sunday morning while the boys and I stayed until Wednesday afternoon.
When we arrived on Thursday, it was snowing- and stayed snowing steadily until Friday afternoon! This was LJ's first exposure to real snow (unfortunately I didn't have very warm clothes for him to go play in it more)! We were basically snowed in our first night so we just had a fun day/ night hanging out with Gigi at the condo.

 |
| Dinner time- And Evan's first time in sitting in a high chair... |
 |
| I think LJ thought it was strange to have someone else in his chair! |
 |
| Evan slept in Capi and Gigi's room with me (and Gigi or Barrett depending on the night)- and he did very well! He napped well here also! |
 |
LJ slept in the guest room in this Peapod tent with an air mattress in it (thank you SO MUCH McDonnells for lending it to us!). LJ loved his tent- but he would ONLY sleep if someone was in the room with him! And he would talk, sing, ask questions, etc for about an hour until he fell asleep! But he did LOVE it in there!
|
Friday is was still very snowy, but we had to get out of the house (cabin fever is terrible with a 2 year old!). So we went to Baby Depot to get a few needed things...
 |
| Snow still falling on us... |
 |
| LJ found this baby and stroller and pushed it all around the store... |
 |
| but abandoned the stroller for this hat (sorry Barrett!) |
 |
| And then found this weird purple shoe to wear (not sure if you can see in this pictures- but it was quite a site!) |
 |
| Evan slept through most of the outing, so when we got home he was ready to practicing some sitting! And today he went from sitting for about 45 seconds max at a time to about 4-5 minutes at a time!!! WE HAVE A SITTER!! At just over 4.5 months, this is a month earlier than LJ (of course Evan still doesn't roll)! |
 |
| Woke up Saturday to this cool view of the sky/ mountains from the condo window! Beautiful day ahead of us! |
 |
| Especially with this happy little face! |
 |
| Evan enjoying the new jumperoo we got for Gigi and Capi's house! Great place to entertain him while we got ready for a full day ahead (Lunch with friends and more celebrating Aunt Patsy's bday on the agenda for the day- but will post these separately)! |
 |
| LJ making sure Evan doesn't miss any of the activities on it! |
 |
| Still sitting... |
Sunday morning: Barrett left very early, and Gigi and Capi watched the boys so I could sleep in a little (Which they did every morning there... amazing- thank you all SO much!)...
 |
| Putting the paci in Evan's mouth... |
 |
Kisses for his brother!
 |
| Still sitting! |
|
 |
| My favorite sitting shot... he is official! I can even walk away now and he doesn't fall over! Yay! |
 |
| Happy to be spending time with his Gigi.... |
 |
| and his Capi!! |
 |
| Capi and LJ filled a little cup full of snow so he could play with it, and all he wanted to do was eat it (don't worry, it wasn't yellow!) |
 |
| Evan laughing with Gigi and Grandma! |
 |
| Jumperoo time! |
 |
| Gigi bought LJ an awesome new hat- our little pilot! |
 |
| And he loves it!! |
Had a afternoon treat of frozen yogurt with Grandma and Gigi...
 |
| Evan was eyeing our yogurts - but just got his bottle this time... soon little man! |
 |
| LJ having a flashlight war in the peapod tent... |
 |
| Too much fun! |
