Evan Adores Hunter!

This picture says it all. Look at the look on Evan's face. He simply adores Hunter. He wants to be by his big brother all the time. Hunter is not too fond of this all the time. However, he is pretty good about it for the most part. I hope they continue to grow and bond.

Our Days Are Numbered!

Yesterday was a big day for Evan. He took three steps all on his own!!! He stood up and looked at me and took three wobbly steps and then instantly sat down!!! He has not done it since then but he is standing alone all the time now so I know our days are numbered to when we will have two kids walking and nobody crawling. Kinda sad but exciting all at the same time. I still cannot believe we are already at this point in his life. He is only nine months old!

Slow Down!!!

Alright, I know Hunter was an early walker but come on already. Evan started crawling at 6 1/2 months and then started cruising soon after. Well, yesterday he decided it was time to start standing alone and has continued that trick today. So, I decided to bring out one of the walk behind toys and sure enough he stood right up behind it and toddled across the room! Just shy of 9 months and he is already walking behind a toy. There are a few people betting that he will be walking by the time Easter rolls around. I am not too sure about that one but we shall see. I just cannot believe how fast he is growing!

Hello Booster Chair!!!

The time has come to retire the highchair, for now anyways. Evan has graduated to using his booster chair! Come to think of it, he never really used the highchair. Now, Hunter used it all the time! Not Evan. It is amazing how different my two boys are. I still cannot believe that Evan is almost 9 months old. Where has all the time gone? Oh, he also got two more teeth this past week and has entered the lovely phase of separation anxiety. Fun times at the Schoeneman home!!! Really, they are fun times! Evan is an excellant teether just like his brother was, a little slower but the same happy attitude!

Me and My Boys.

I just love these pics of me and my boys! Christian snapped them the other night and I simply love them both!!! Just wanted to share them. Great job Sweetie!

Markers and Toddlers DO NOT Mix!

This is what happens when a toddler is left alone with markers. This makes for a very angry mommy! I was shocked when I saw what Hunter had done. Thank goodness it was washable markers. Those are the only ones we allow him to use. I was blown away that he did this since he knows he is only to color on paper. He even had his coloring book right next to him. Grrrrr....at least it washed off the table.

My Little Baker.

Hunter loves to help out in the kitchen! He always pulls in his barstool to sit on and help out with whatever we are doing. So, the other day we decided to make a strawberry cake. He had a great time! He helped pour all the ingredients into the bowl and then mixed it. Once the cake was baked and cooled he helped to frost and decorate it. Of course, he had to sample the frosting and sprinkles! I think his first cake turned out pretty good! Perhaps we have a future baker or chef on our hands!
