Evan "E" is 9 Months Old!

How does the time get by? I know it sounds so cliche but I just brought Evan (we call him "E" these days) home from the hospital.
Hayden was such a big helper in taking Evan to the doctor. He held Evan's little binder that we keep with his records and carefully took responsibility to give it to the nurse so that she could update his records.
He inquired about him getting shots. Hayden said he didn't like shots because they are "very pointy." Fortunately Evan did not have to get any yesterday.
These are the stats-
weight 18.3 lbs - 15% percentile
length 28 1/2 inches - 55% percentile
head 18 1/4 inches 75% percentile
Evan is a lean, mean baby machine!
Hayden gave Dr. Dreiling the "hook em' horns" hand sign that he was very impressed with. Dr. Dreiling is also a die hard orange blood.
Hayden asked lots of questions to the nurse and doctor about what they were "doing to Evan." They gladly answered his concerns, especially about the little bag taped around Evan's private parts to collect a urine sample - too hilarious a scene! Hayden questioned and Evan sat there pulling at the bag trying to figure out what the heck they had just taped to him.
Evan did not cry a bit and was very kind to let Dr. Dreiling do his examination. He sleeps well, eats well, and no medical concerns. The doctor said he is "very boring" - just the kind of baby he hopes to see. Thank you Lord, for healthy children. I have learned seeing so many near and dear to me, many that never be something I take for granted.
