Evan Knievel...

So, the doctors said I should really be working on keeping my stress levels down, which is practically impossible with Evan and his new phase...which is dare devil. He loves to run with his eyes closed, though he does often put his arms in front (Frankenstein style) to stop himself before he slams into walls. This really only works if what he is trying to avoid isn't on the ground or above his hand level.

In addition to running with his eyes closed, he has decided that walking off high objects such as the couch or his bed is super fun despite all the bumps and bruises that follow. He loves to jump off his bed, and Aaron even caught him at the last minute today when he was about to jump from the couch to the coffee table (...have mercy...). Here is a video we took tonight of him playing on his bed. I pray that he will only do this when we are sitting next to the bed, but common sense says otherwise. Notice how he closes his eyes while he jumps...

Unfortunately tonight's super fun jumping time resulted in a big black eye as one jump he face planted into the foot board of the bed. I'll try to get a picture of the shiner tomorrow, but I am hoping it will look a bit better in the morning.

Lastly, here is a funny picture of him that shows how shaggy his hair has gotten. He is in desperate need of a haircut, but Aaron and I am stalling for as long as possible since he HATES having his hair cut!!!
