Climbing, Bloody Nose, and First Haircut

 Evan has been climbing everything he can get his fat legs on. Of course he always thinks he can climb much higher than he really can and will even try to use his head for more leverage. This is his favorite spot to climb because I put his chair up against the wall so it doesn't swing back for him. From there he tries to get on the couch. As you can still see, his spoon goes with him everywhere.
 This is a sad picture but he only cried for a little bit. Evan's big head always gets in the way of him having fun. He was trying to shut the TV cabinet and thought he could let go of the wall and walk. He isn't too steady yet so he went face first into the wall. Of course the bang was followed by complete silence as he couldn't breath because he was crying so hard. When I picked him up his nose hadn't started to bleed yet. I had his blankie and was holding him while he was hugging it and noticed blood on it. He let me hold his blankie up to it to stop the bleeding and then I took a picture of him smiling like nothing had gone wrong. Poor baby.

 Alex has been bugging me to get Evan's haircut. I wanted to wait until first birthday and I just love baby soft hair and didn't want it to go away. He had been looking really shaggy for awhile so I relented and let Alex cut it. Evan had no problems with the clippers as long as he got to hold the comb. He looks like such a big boy now that I'm really sad about it. I can't believe he is turning one in a few weeks. He still only has 2 bottom teeth.

Here is a short video of Evan walking with his walker. We go back and forth all day long. It is a little wiggly because I'm not too steady with the camera.
