A non-sleep Evan story
8 months
First, he let me read him three (3) books last night! Usually all he wants to do is chew the corners. He sat on my lap and let me read to him, looking carefully at the pictures, hitting the hard cardboard pages with his chubby hand, and saying, "ahhh, ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh" over me while I read, later changing it to, "eeee, eeeee, eeeee..."
He also helped me turn the pages, which he has never done before. One of his books has little 'doors' that you flip open (like you flip open the door to the chicken coop and find a chicken inside). After I would open the flap, he would wait for me to finish reading, then he would immediately close it.
