Evan's American Idol Audition

Becca was lucky enough to catch the last part of Evan's audition. Of course, Paula thought he looked great (in his fu-fu outfit), Randy said he was the "dawg", and Simon thought he was horrendous and that he needs to work on his enunciation. We thought it was pretty good for a 3 1/2 month old. (see video clip on blog)

Smiles are getting bigger

I am getting pretty good at sitting up these days.

I am also starting to roll around.

Today I even rolled and wiggled myself right off my play mat.
Visit from Aunt Anne

This is mom's favorite shirt.

Real Texas Snow!

This morning a storm blew in that brought the closest thing to snow we see here in Houston, HAIL. It was about the size of marbles. I have never seen hail that size; it was pretty exciting.

I was going to take pictures, but unfortunately our camera is not working. Yes, this could pose to be very problematic. A camera that doesn't work and a computer that has no remaining storage space for me to download our video footage. We are currently having technical difficulties. Hopefully I can get these remedied soon so we can continue to keep you updated with pictures of Evan. : )
