He's such a cute and funny little guy. I love that we get this glimpse at him through your eyes. When we do see him he's generally either running around with his brothers or he's quiet. This is just fun

Five minutes with Evelyn would be more like "Mow, Mama, MOW! PLea...Plea...'pank mama, 'pank daddy. 'Pank kitty. Naugh-y mama. Hurt, mama, mouf hurt!" And then the rest of it would be me chasing her around with the camera while she hides from me.
