Dan's Birthday

We went to our friend Dan's 35th birthday party this weekend. The weather was pretty nice so everyone gathered at the park across the street from their house, but it was still a little bit chilly (and windy) for Evan. We forgot to bring one of his warm hats, but fortunately his jacket had a hood. I tried convincing him later that this was his "sleepin' hood", but my ploy didn't work:

Evan started getting fussy when his nap time rolled around (part of being on a schedule is having a set nap time), so we put him in his car seat to get ready to leave. We'd only been there an hour, though, so we were dragging our feet a bit in our preparations. It turns out we should have gotten ready to go sooner -- as soon as we put Evan in his car seat he became quite cordial again, so we got to stay another hour.

I'm not sure who had more fun during that hour, us or Evan. He was smiling and making sounds pretty much the whole time, and he proved to be quite a hit with all the little girls that were there. I don't know what it was exactly, but they all wanted to crawl into his car seat with him:

Not only is Evan's cuteness irresistible to adults - apparently his fellow infants and toddlers are also powerless against his magnetism!
