Evan seven months, Nolan close to three

The past weekend has been exciting for Evan. He got his first tooth today, bottom right. He started crawling yesterday, although he is starting slow, I am sure within no time he will be everywhere. He just starting going to a sitting positioning from the crawling position last week and now is crawling! He also started practicing with a sippy cup. He is taking drinks from it, but we are still working on holding it and tipping it back. He is starting to try to want to talk. He definitely knows dadadada, among others. He knows what it mean to ask if he is hungry or if he wants a bottle. He is getting so big. I cant believe how fast it is going. Nolan is doing well. He is still two, and is just starting to ask what and why about lots of things. I love it right now because his imagination and use of words is amazing. He is potty training! We have a sticker chart and he is doing pretty well telling us when he has to go. Although its strange he will only go facing backwards sitting on toilet. Whatever works!! We have had a very busy month, going to Myrtle Beach(Nolan swam with arm floaties for first time by himself), Knox(Evans first fair) and Hartford County fairs, Nolan swimming at Trent and Brandi's, and we started a new sitter here in Sunbury. Her name is Patty and last week went very well. Nolan is testing his boundaries with other people, for the first time, but I think it is normal for his age. Thanks to Aunt Kenzie for watching boys in July! We had a wonderful birthday celebration yesterday for Meg and my birthday. It was nice to hang out with everyone(Mom, Meg, Kriss) and of course the boys too...It's taking me so long to update this that Evan now has both front teeth, one day apart from getting them both in, and Nolan completed his potty training sticker chart and bought a lightening car that changes color in water! Nolan received a package in the mail yesterday from Grandma Nina for potty training and it was full of lightening car things, and he just kept saying " I just can't believe it!" I have never seen him so genuinely excited! :)
