July 4th: Happy Independence Day!

Evan and I are having a nice quiet day at home today. Teething is taking its toll on the little guy and he's got fever, crankiness and a runny nose. His two bottom teeth will soon be joined by his two top teeth and we'll have to watch out! In the last few days Evan has discovered that grabbing handfuls of food rather than 1 little piece greatly increases his chance of actually getting food into his mouth; thus he tries to stuff 10 cheerios in his mouth at once.

Evan's been busy lately getting his first haircut, attending soccer games, going to the zoo and just crawling around like a madman. Here are just some of the photo highlights (more to come after Derek downloads photos off his camera too).
