the littlest superhero

Well, the bad luck continues with yet another car repair (new radiator). Honestly, I couldn't make this up if I tried. Evan is back to the non-sleeping, just in time for us to return to work. But we managed to have some fun over the holidays with lots of family and so many wonderful gifts. Uncle Scott and Beth traveled from Wyoming to see us along with Oma and Opa. This time Anna showed Beth some love. Nana and Papa and Uncle Kevin and Michelle were here too. Anna does love her uncles and Grandpas a lot. Evan really is a nice guy, he just really needed his mom a lot this time around. The Sunnock family Christmas was wonderful with our expanding family and all the little cousins.

Evan had a monumental holiday of teething, irritability and fussiness, with a large dose of non-sleeping and clinging to Mama. But the end result is one tooth, another on the way, crawling, and pulling himself up to stand. I really believe he thinks he can walk but the floor keeps getting in the way.

Anna is talking a blue streak and cracking us up with her expressions ("Frosty the Man") and her routines. She definitely challenged us over the break and I think it was just in time for her to head back to Nanny's house on Monday to hang with her pals.

Here is some holiday merry making:

Evan loves Polaris!

Hey Check me out!

Evan slept in his crib...sort of

So Evan fell asleep around 8:00 last night. John put him in his crib with the air purifier going (just like M&D's room). He woke up about 5 minutes later. John got him back to sleep and put him back in his crib. And he slept until around 11:00. I fed him and he went right back to sleep. We put him back in the crib and he slept until around 1:00. John couldn't get him back to sleep so he slept with him in the guest bed for a while. Eventually he put Evan back in his crib and he SLEPT until almost 8:00! We were so excited I think we woke him up. I slept so long without interruption I actually woke up disoriented and a little sore. I am NOT complaining. But I don't think I have slept 7 hours straight since the summer after Anna was born (before sickness and the third trimester struck). He even took a long nap in the crib today. Hmmmm.... Maybe he is finally going to sleep? I am not betting on it just yet, but we are hopeful.
