14 Weeks Old

This week was eventful for a few reasons:

#1- Evan figured out how to control his hands.  It's very sweet.  He reaches up and grabs my nose, he stares at his little fingers and moves them around, he grabs at toys...  I'm going to have to warn Jillian and Liv- I bet those pigtails are next!

#2- Although Evan has yet to roll over, he has figured out something else- how to scoot around on his back.  He presses his little feet into the floor, lifts his bottom up, and thrusts backwards. This new found ability led to eventful thing #3 for this week...

#3- Evan had his first (and hopefully last!) ride to the hospital in an ambulance.  Yup.  Makes my heart race a bit just typing about it.  I put our little non-rolling baby in the center of our king size bed (closer to the pillows) with a pillow propped between him and the foot of the bed just in case he randomly decided to roll 6 feet onto the hardwood.  Did I put a pillow ABOVE his head in case he thrust himself UP about 3 feet?  No.  No, I did not.  Because, until I was at the hospital blubbering about how I had no idea HOW he fell off the bed I had not seen him scoot this way.  Ever.  But there he was, being examined by the doctor up on a hospital bed- plants his feet... scoots up 6 inches.  Ah.  Mystery solved.  Makes you feel about 2 inches tall when something preventable happens to your kid.  Especially a kid who is only 90 days old.  Thankfully, he is totally okay despite a rather large bump on his forehead that appeared immediately following the fall and disappeared almost as quickly as it came.  It was a dramatic evening to say the least (our neighbors had to hold Evan so the 911 operator could hear me, Ryan was out of town, both the girls were freshly out of the bathtub, Jillian said, "The thing that is happening right now is making me NERVOUS!" when I told her to go sit on her bed).  Ugh.  It was terrible.  Luckily we have wonderful friends nearby who came over to sit with the big girls and joined me at the hospital so I would not have to be there alone.  I'm so appreciative!

Anyway- all's well that ends well!

Enjoy the photos from this week!

Take care,
