Evan rolls .. and a new addition!

On Monday, July 19th, Evan rolled over! Hurray for Evan! He is just learning, so he tends to get stuck on his arm before making it all the way over. He spends much more time on the floor playing with his toys and is even enjoying his "tummy time!"

Evan went for his 4 months visit yesterday and now weighs 13 lbs and is 25 inches long. He's still a peanut! He's been smiling and laughing out loud, too, which is just the most adorable face ever! I'm back at work already, and Evan is having a tough time taking his bottle, but I'm sure he'll get the hang of it soon.

Jada and Joli LOVE going to Camp during the day. They are learning sports, arts and crafts, and fun songs with their friends. This is Jada's first time in a program outside of the house, and she is thrilled!

Our newest addition to the family is "CODY VEGA!" Cody is a Feist dog that we rescued from a shelter locally. He's originally from Tennessee, weighs about 18 lbs, and is a tiny dog. After having Gordon, it's hard getting used to how small Cody is!

Cody was originally named "Bandit" because he has this beautiful black mask across his face. While the name fit him, we wanted to change his name. What were some of the other names floating around: Zack, Sandwich (which Jada and Jorge loved!), Oso (because he has the same mask that Oso, the cartoon bear, has), Kaeru, Abner... but, in the end "Cody" won!

Honestly, he's the most perfect little gentleman. I'm not sure what kind of training he had before coming to us, but he seems very smart and very happy to be with us! The girls, of course, are thrilled, and we're excited that they'll grow up with a dog. Rest in Peace, Gordon! We're happy we could rescue another little guy!

The kids with some quality "morning bed" time. Joli got a Nintendo DS for her birthday and lots of new games!


Cody! Our new dog! See how tiny he is!
