Evan is a sweetheart.
8 months
Today I was standing in line at Starbuck's, and I was holding Evan up so his little butt was resting on my shoulder/chest. He was looking straight ahead with his thumb plugged in. I wanted to get his attention, so I made a kissing noise in his direction, and he leaned down close to me so that his cheek was right in front of my face! I then kissed his cheek and he returned to his original position.
Our boy loves kisses.

Sleep update
I just can't get over it. Ever since sleep training, he takes forever to fall asleep! It used to take 3-15 minutes (usually 3), but now it takes at least a half-hour. The rest of the night is starting to get better though. He is still waking up frequently, but I'm not sure how often because when he sleeps next to me, I don't fully wake up to attend to him. My point of view now is to chill out and assume that he is in a weird phase and he'll grow out of it. Eventually.

Thanks to everyone for your comments! We love comments. Especially when they're really nice and supportive.
