Fun with the Nasal Aspirator

A Fun Weekend

We had a great weekend. Saturday we did some cleaning, but then Everett and I went out shopping. I found him some great shoes for Fall/Winter. Saturday evening we had friends over for dinner. They have two little girls, one Ev's age and a 3 year old. It was fun to see Everett interact with other kids on his "turf." He did great. Sunday we went to church, where Everett made it through the nursery. He is still not playing with the other kids (he just wants to be held) but he is not crying as much....so we are making progress. Sunday afternoon Eric and Ev slept for a few hours....I was so bored! I love having some "me" time, but after about an hour I didn't know what to do with myself! I wanted my boys to wake up and play! After naps, we went and picked up sandwiches and went to a new park. It was cool outside, so we weren't miserable. That evening after Everett went to bed, Eric and I watched "A Time to Kill" which I had never seen. I really enjoyed it. Overall, a weekend of time with the family....which is a perfect weekend in my book :)

Just Because

I had to post these pictures of Everett tonight, just because he is so cute!!! The shirt he is wearing is the same one I used to wear as a toddler.

Everett At Play

Last night I read our blog from start to finish. It was really fun to look back and read from the beginning up until now. I especially loved watching the videos and since it has been awhile since I have posted one, I thought I would tonight. Here is Everett dragging the toy horse that his Gigi got him. Play is what Everett does best, and it is really fun to watch.

Hello

Okay, this is kind of a silly post I will admit.....but I found this so funny. The other day we bought this steam cleaner (which, by the way I love and could not believe how dirty our carpet was, even with vacuuming every week!). Anyways, we were in the midst of cleaning and had it sitting in the hallway. Everett had just woke up from a nap and had not seen it yet. He is aware of our vacuum and usually that doesn't scare him. So he walked out of his room and stopped right in front of the cleaner. With the cutest voice he looked at it and said, "hello." I just died laughing! First of all, I have never heard him say "hello" before, and second of all, what a polite boy! He is even kind to inanimate objects! This is yet another really fun stage.

More Adventures of a Boy in a Basket

We found out Saturday night that Everett does not discriminate between which basket he will sit in. We went to our friends house Saturday night for dinner. They have three little ones themselves, which meant lots of new toys for Everett to play with. His favorite was this basket though. He is such a ham! By the way, he did have a very cute outfit on, however I changed him into jammies because I knew he would fall asleep on the ride home (which he did!)

A Boy in a Basket

Everett is finding new and interesting ways to play these days......
