June '09

Some pictures from June (Evan turned 2 and we took a trip back east, so there are a lot of them)...

He's always holding a vehicle, even when eating (we've since curtailed that):

Corn

Evan is proving to be a big fan of corn on the cob:

Dancing to The Prodigy

First Evan runs to the back of the house (often while Steph and I are doing something in the kitchen or living room, or maybe finishing breakfast).

Then you hear a semi-regular thumping sound coming from the back of the house.

Then the music starts... The Prodigy, "Breathe".

Then you run back yourself to catch the show in Steph's studio:

Evan has recently learned how to turn Steph's stereo on.

Bus Ride

Last year on our trip to New York Evan took his first subway ride, so this year he took his first bus ride:

(The second picture is obviously not very good, and redundant.  I just thought it looked cool.)

I'm not sure what we'll do next year... he's already taken his first ferry trip in Seattle, and there have been plenty of airplane rides.  Maybe we'll need to do something in a hot air balloon, or possibly a horse-drawn carriage.
