April 18 -- Another Gorgeous Day!

Well, the weather was absolutely stunning in DC today. Spring may have finally sprung at last. (I'm trying to ignore the weather reports saying that it will again be raining Sunday night, all day Monday, and part of Tuesday. Sigh.) Evan got a great amount of sleep, three big naps and really seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did.

In developmental news, Evan seems to be learning that his hands do more than ball up into fists. He seems to be figuring out that if he wants something, his hands may help him get it. We're a long way off from actual reaching and certainly from grasping, but it's so interesting to watch him start to make these realizations.

Oh, and last night in the tub, Evan figured out how to splash! Should make for some interesting baths from now on ...

Starting off the day with a little Baby Mozart:



Chicks dig me. Even my shirt says so!



Evan in the car ... he's finally outgrown his headrest and is now free and clear to wobble as he wishes. He loved it!!

You do not interest me ...



And apparently, neither does the setup for the Earth Day event on the Mall:
