My Guy

Have I mentioned yet how much I love my big boy Everett? Well if I haven't, I am completely over the moon about this boy! Yesterday Everett had his 2 year wellness visit. He did AMAZING! He completely blew my socks off and I kept thinking, "Is this really my child?" He let the doctor do what he needed to do and never showed any fear or apprehension. He had to have two vaccines and did not even cry! All he said was ouch and then smiled. What!?! He was funny because he was more excited that the nurse put "stickers" (band-aids) on his legs. Part of the appointment was the developmental screening. Out of all the domains, Everett scored the highest on communication. Yeah! Just recently Everett has been putting together 2-3 word utterances. His vocab has also exploded! The only thing we need to work on is jumping. Ha! Something I have not even thought of having him try. Everett is about 29 pounds and in the 50th percentile for weight and about 3 feet tall and in the 90th percentile for his height.

I am just so proud of Everett in so many ways. Just over the past two weeks Everett has adjusted to the church nursery. This has taken about 2 years. Last Sunday when we picked him up we caught him talking to another little boy in the room. He was dragging around a naked baby doll, tapped the boy on the shoulder and asked "What's this?" That completely cracked us up!

Everett is a passionate little boy. He loves life and lives it big. He can be really, really high energy and all over the place, yet he can melt-down within a moment and be Mr.Dramatic. I think one of his favorite things to do is make me laugh.

Everett's debut. What sweet newborn he was.
