The smartest baby in the world

Evan has decided that it is rough to have a mommy that is a teacher. She's constantly trying to make him play with educational toys and read him books. He thinks that three weeks old is a bit early for Winnie-the-Pooh, but mommy is convinced that he needs to start early. She also has gotten him several other educational toys which she tortures him with on a regular basis. Daddy is not any better either. He has read the Just So Stories to him on several evenings already.

His parents are firmly convinced that he is the smartest baby ever! Mommy has bought Evan little arm bands and feet bands with little stuffed animal rattles on them and subjects Evan to them every couple of days so that he can find his hands and feet. (So far he just whacks his face with his little rattling wristbands.) We also put him on his little tummy everyday so he can have "tummy time". He has already developed the skill of lifting up his head and pushing himself across the blanket we set down for him. Today, he even turned himself over! We think it was because of his talent and rapid intellectual development, but it might have been because he had a little bit of gas and accidentally flipped himself over as it was bothering him.

Here are a few pictures of Evan's parents subjecting him to these educational pursuits...the next Albert Einstein, we're so proud!

Here's Evan and mommy reading Winnie the Pooh...

Here, Evan and his daddy are reading another book. Perhaps holding up his head would be another good skill to learn...

Evan is enjoying his wrist and feet rattles. He'll like them even better once he figures out that he has arms and legs.
