Who's Mama's Big Boy!?!

We went to the Nursing Station today to get Everett weighed. I suspected he had put on some weight and boy was I right! He now weighs 11 pounds 1 ounce. Yeah Everett! You're officially catching up!

He's A Yankee Doodle Boy

We had a very fun Fourth of July this year! My parents are in town so we got to celebrate Everett's first 4th together. We went to Locust Grove, which is a historical home here in town. They had a re-enactment, a museum, and a tour of the home, which was really neat to see. We then ate barbecue and felt really patriotic! Overall, a very fun day.

Daddy Live In Concert

When Everett was in the womb, he would always "dance" whenever he heard Eric practicing the guitar. He seems to really enjoy music, so the other day Eric played him the mandolin for the first time. We had our own private concert! It was free of charge and we had the best seats in town. While you're watching, see if you can spot Maggie. She always has to be included!

Son You've Got A Panty On Your Head

Everett is getting bigger everyday and has now moved on to "big boy" diapers (newborn to size 1). Eric snapped this photo of him yesterday with his new diaper on his head. We'd thought we would share for all to enjoy! Below is the inspiration for the title of this post.....a scene from the movie, Raising Arizona.

Georgia baby OR Florida baby???

First Bottle

Daddy feeding Everett his first bottle!

He drank all 4 ounces!

Ahhh......satisfaction

He's so cute!

Everett had his first bottle ever the other day. Aunt Jenny and I had gone to Target while Everett was napping. Everett decided that he wanted to eat early that day, so Eric called me to let me know he was hungry. Fortunately, I had some breastmilk in the freezer, so Eric decided to try a bottle. The pediatrician said to maybe try the bottle at 6 weeks, but Everett took right to it! I was kind of sad when I walked through the door and saw him drinking from a bottle....he looked like such a big boy! However, I am glad now that others (especially Eric) can share in the experience of feeding him.

A Week With A GREAT Aunt

This past week Everett got to spend time with his Great Aunt Jenny (my aunt). We all had so much fun! We went to the park, got ice-cream, went to the bookstore, went out to eat, and went to Target several times. It was so nice to have Aunt Jenny here this past week. She means so much to us and it was great to have her get to know Everett. Thanks for everything Jenny and we can't wait to see you in the Fall!
