Lots of Pictures Part 4
October and November 2013
Oct 9 – Papa decided to sell his truck in favor for a more economical car. Evan loves Papa’s truck and will miss it. So he can remember, we made sure we took some pics with Evan in the truck before it was gone. Somehow I think this boy will grow up and want a pick-up truck.
Oct 12 – The place we go to for therapy had a fun day with a big bounce house, a fire truck, lots of crafts and games. They even had a silent raffle. We won 3 private swim lessons for Evan. Our little Evy-fish can finally go bananas in a pool!
Oct 19 – Cousin Jacob turned 9 so we went to his b-day party – enjoyed some hot dogs and then saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 – Evan’s first movie.
Oct 20 – Evan was helping me in the kitchen and being all-around cute
Oct 26 – The Scherrers had a Halloween party at their house. The theme was superheros. Dada went as Hulk, Evan was Superman, and I went as Superman’s mom. It was a really great time and I love our big get-togethers that happen too rarely now that we all have children.
Oct 27 – Evan and I made Halloween cookies, a first for the little man. He had a great time with the sprinkles.
Oct 31 – Halloween! We did a little trick-or-treating around the neighborhood because the weather was a bit crummy and Evan is still a little young. Because he doesn’t eat, I bought a few little toys and dada went around to various neighbors and planted the toys with them. So when Evan came around to trick or treat, they handed him a little toy instead of candy. We don’t have many photos because I think I have more on video. And yes, I cried… thankful that Ev is around for this experience and soaking it all in.
Nov 3 – I wanted to take a more formal photoshoot of my little Superman…
Nov 12 – Evan had a check-up at UofM regarding his pacemaker since his re-implantation surgery was over a year ago. They were very happy with everything but had to change his pacemaker setting. He was originally set to 80-150 bpm but they realized he goes above 150 and at that point his contractions are out of sync. So they changed his upper limit to 230 bpm and essentially gave him more energy. Although you can’t tell too much. Even when he wasn’t paced and was at 55 bpm he still had loads of energy!
