One month to go

It is hard to believe, but we have exactly a month until our newest Cook joins the family.  I know Liz is ready, is anyone else?  Everything is ready to go and we are anxiously awaiting as we are prepared for our April 8th due date.

A busy time around here with birthdays, including Evan's on the 15th.  It really is hard to believe he will be 2 already.  Grandpa Rusty celebrated his at the end of February (the 29th to be exact).  Uncle Mark celebrated his birthday on the 4th at the Home and Garden Show working on potential new clients for Executive Lawn and Landscaping.   The word is that business was much better this year.  And Shawn's birthday is on the 10th.  Inquiring minds will have to figure out how many birthday's for each there have been so far.
Evan is growing like crazy and his vocab continues to expand.  Shapes and items of interest have captured his little mind lately.  Tractor (for Uncle Jeff), me-mycle (motorcycle for Uncle Greg and Aunt Patty), airplane, ranch (as in salad dressing), catch-e-tup (ketchup), apple juice (he doesn't even drink it but loves saying it) and lotion (thanks Grandma Sandy, which he spreads on his hands and face).  We were told today by his teachers that he is really doing well with speaking and his the social butterfly of the room; greeting all the other moms and dads as they enter his room.  He will be transitioning at the end of this month to his new room which we hope will be right before the new arrival.

These pictures are from the last few weeks.  We had a string of nice days in February so we spent some time outside.  Evan needed a haircut badly so luckily Grandma Sandy was here for Ally's baby shower.  Evan's birthday pictures will be coming next week.  Side note, for those that want updates on the new arrival, I have added my Twitter account (@shawncook01) feed to the top of the blog in case things happen before our scheduled date.
