Evan’s first outing was a full day that included visiting the doctor and eating lunch at the beach in Kailua with Papa and Grandma.  He was trooper and slept straight through most of it.

To celebrate his week 1 birthday, we drove all the way around the island.  Watched Papa and Dan kayak, then sent them off on a helicopter ride over Oahu.  Don’t worry, Evan, your Daddy will take you to do cool stuff like that someday – but for now, it’s best to stay close to your Momma. The day was made complete with Puka Dogs down in Waikiki.

Our first time to church as a family was fun, although we’ve learned that we need to start heading out the door 20 minutes earlier than we normally would.  It’s okay to be late to church with a one week old baby. All of our friends were excited to meet Evan, and even announced his birth in the bulletin.

On day 10, Evan had another doctor’s appointment.  Our little guy is a heavy-weight – putting on the pounds three times faster than the average infant!  By the way, we love Dr. Tanabe, so we’re okay with visiting him often.

We enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July with friends, Teddy’s Burgers and an impressive firework show.  The booming fireworks put Evan right to sleep –  he’s a good little sleeper.

Other activities included: first sponge bath at home, a photo shoot by the one and only Dan Lareau, lots and lots of diapers and even more milk, tummy time, Skyping with friends and family, trips to the grocery store and sleeping.

Here’s to adoring our sweet boy for the first three weeks.
