Two for Two

Get ready for a picture overload because a lot of fun things have been going on in our home lately. First off-about a week ago Hampton had his 2 month check-up. He is 11 weeks now, but here were his 2 month stats. He is about 13 pounds (probably more now) and in the 75th percentile for his weight. He is in the 50th percentile for his height and head. Hampton has really "come alive" in the last few days. He is smiling, cooing, squealing, and starting to reach. He also has such great head control. I love getting to know this little guy. He is so snuggly and just wants to be held all the time. Very different from how Everett was! While we were at the doctor's office, Everett caught up on some reading!
Last Sunday Everett turned two! I cannot believe how fast the time goes. My mom and sister were in town, and Everett's Gigi, Uncle Jason and Aunt Becky, and cousins Zeke and Daniel came to celebrate. The party was a farm theme cookout. It was so much fun!

Playing with his new water table from Nonny.

He got a picnic bench from Gigi.

The food table.

Yum!
Everett's cake. It was a red velvet and cake batter ice-cream cake from Coldstone. Sooo good!

Everett loved it!

A Very Special Date

Last weekend while my family was visiting Eric and I went on a very special date at the Grove Park Inn. This place is sentimental to us because it is where we honeymooned. The restuarant we ate at is called the Sunset Terrace and it overlooks incredible, and I mean incredible, mountain views. When I called to make the reservation the woman asked me what the special occassion was and all I could say in reply was, "Getting out of the house!" Eric and I have made an effort in the past few months to go on a date at least once a month. It is such valued time together. My filet looked so good that I had to take a picture.
One very happy girl.
One very happy guy.






Arboretum

My mom and sister came to visit last week. One of the "adventures" we had during their visit was going to the NC Arboretum. I am so thrilled we discovered this place just minutes down the road from us because we had so much fun! It was the perfect place to take pictures as well. Here are some shots from our visit.Everett ran up to this native statue and said, "Wow! Big toe!"

Everett kind of looking like a little fisherman (or fisherboy :)
