Anniversary Present

We arrived safely in Philadelphia last night, to the rude awakening that is November in the Northeast; dark, cold, and rainy. No more sunshine and white sand beaches for us, it's back to the sobering reality of late fall back at home. The rain was so heavy in Philly yesterday, that we were delayed 3 hours leaving Ft. Myers. Evan was stellar through the whole ordeal. He was so calm waiting in the airport, and through the entire flight. He had a couple of fussy moments towards the end of the flight, but other than that, he was a dream to travel with. I haven't spent this many days with him consecutively since the week he was born, and I really had a good opportunity to bond with him. My parents also got to get to know him and spend time with him which was nice.

He's getting closer to crawling with every passing day. Down in Florida, we set up a blanket on the floor for him with all of his toys. He scootches, mostly backwards, on his elbows and belly, and has been starting to get his knees up underneath him, which is a clear sign of him trying to crawl. As long as there's an object in front of him that he wants to reach, he'll try to move his body towards it. (His favorite toys lately have been these paper Dunkin' Donuts coffee cups.)


FLASHBACK: October 1st was our 2nd, or "Cotton" Wedding Anniversary. Genevieve came with a great idea for a gift for me. She had this photo she took of Evan printed on a pillow case. She figured since I'm away so much, at least with Evan on a pillow, I could snuggle with the baby while I was away. Also makes a great Halloween outfit.
