Evan is 27 months, or 2-1/4 years, old today. He has spent the last month getting to know his new brother, Wyatt, better. Evan keeps working on his reading skills and enjoys school a lot. He is hoping the weather will warm up soon so that he can spend more time playing outside.

Time flies! Wyatt is already one month old. He sleeps a lot (unfortunately for Mom, not usually when everyone else does), and he is eating well. The family is starting to settle into a little bit of a routine.

Wyatt James Stackle was born at 9:11 am on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, New York. He weighed 9 pounds, 4 ounces and was 21 inches long. Everyone in the family is very excited to have a new family member.

Evan was 26 months old on February 26. It was a very busy month for Evan, including the birth of his new baby brother, Wyatt. Evan got to spend a lot of time with Nonna and Granddad and Auntie Bobbs last month. He also spent quite a bit of time outside, playing in all the snow. He even started to enjoy sledding again, which he enjoyed a lot last winter but had not wanted to do any of this year until shortly before the snow melted. Now he looks forward to things drying up and the weather warming up so he can spend more time outside. School is going well, and Evan’s vocabulary continues to improve.

Evan was 25 months old on January 26. It has been very snowy in the Tristate area, and all but one of the school snow days have fallen on Tuesdays or Fridays. As a result, Evan only attended school three times in the month of January. That hasn’t seemed to affect his learning. Evan has recently learned to recognize (“read”) all the letters of the alphabet. Evan is not as excited about playing in the snow as he was last winter, but he is enjoying his time indoors, playing with his cars and trains and watching Thomas and Super Why on television.

Evan is looking forward to welcoming home his new brother next month, as are Mom and Dad.

Some pictures from the birthday parties are in the photo gallery. Also included are a few more pictures from Katonah Playcare from before Christmas. Thanks to Miss Joanna for sharing the pictures with Mom and Dad.

Evan celebrated his second birthday four times: cake with Mom’s friends and family on Christmas Eve (see the earlier post for photos), with his class at Katonah Playcare, with his baby group friends at home, and in Wisconsin with his relatives out there. Evan thanks everyone for making his birthday(s) great, especially Miss Joanna, Mom, and Grandma.

Some pictures from the birthday parties are in the photo gallery. There are also a few other pictures from the trip to Wisconsin and Uncle Greg and Aunt Stacey’s wedding on New Year’s Eve. The Wisconsin pictures will also be posted on the Shutterfly site.

Evan enjoyed Christmas very much. On Christmas Eve, he went with Mom and Dad to visit Mom’s family and friends in New Jersey. He also enjoyed an early birthday cake. On Christmas Day, he stayed home and enjoyed his gifts. Favorite toys included a Thomas the Tank Engine train set, Hot Wheels cars and track, and musical instruments.

Evan turned two on December 26. It is hard for Mom and Dad to believe he is such a big boy already. He passed his check-up with flying colors and continues to be taller and a little heavier than average. His verbal skills continue to improve.

It was a busy month, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and various holiday events. And though Evan’s actual birthday was fairly uneventful because Mom and Dad had to work all day, he still had a good day. He is having a lot of fun playing with all the new toys Santa brought, especially a set of Thomas the Tank Engine trains.

In the photo gallery are some pictures from the past month. Pictures from Christmas will be posted separately soon.

Evan is now 23 months old. His second birthday is just a month away. Evan’s verbal skills continue to improve. He regularly uses complete sentences. His growth has plateaued for the moment, but he is still larger than many kids his age. The missing two front teeth have finally come in. He now has a full mouth of teeth.

Evan’s social schedule slowed down a bit this month, but he continued to visit new places, especially on weekends with Nonna and Granddad. He also was very excited to spend time with Grandma earlier this month when she came to visit from Wisconsin.

We are looking forward to the holidays and Evan’s birthday in the coming month. Below are some pictures from the past month.
