Everett and Hampton have some exciting news to share!

Hampton is a big brother!

We are expecting our third child early-mid September!

And we are just silly with excitement!

Another First

Look who has his first tooth! This baby!

This picture is actually funny.....yesterday I went in to check on him at naptime and he was sitting up fast asleep with his head in his lap. By the time I got my camera, he was awake. So cute!

One On One

Yesterday Eric and I split up the boys and spent some one-on-one time with each of them. I took Everett. I decided to take him to a children's museum in downtown Hendersonville called Hands-On. It was our first time and really cute.

Everett really liked this exhibit. It was putting these tiny balls through different mazes.

Then we headed to the next exhibit. It was a baby nursery. Everett was so sweet and liked "taking care" of the babies.

Everett then painted a picture.

And played at the rice table. He told me he wanted one.

He loved the pretend grocery store.

Everett's behavior has been a bit, challenging, lately.....but he did really well!

After nap he said, "Mama, I had fun at museum!"

And Eric and Hampton, well they had a great time. Eric told me they really bonded. Eric got to read during Hampton's morning nap, and then they had fun playing together. These guys know how to relax!

Quick Discussion with Everett

On Sunday we went and got Everett's hair cut. He did really well and was so excited that the lady gave him a lollipop! Here is our quick discussion about the experience.....

I Caught It

I finally caught a good picture of Everett smiling at the camera. Usually pics of Ev result in a sour scowl or his hand up in protest, but the other day we practiced. I talked about how getting your picture taken is fun and we should smile and say "cheese!" I would hold the camera up and we practiced. Now there may be food in his mouth and his hair is messy, but finally a picture that I feel is an accurate portrayal of how fun this little boy is!

Boots and Brothers

I got some new boots in the mail, so Everett decided to give them a try.

And these babies just melt my heart.

Thursday

Yesterday was fun. In the morning Everett went to preschool and then Hampton and I went to Target for a few things. I missed Everett, but it was nice just getting out with one child. The night before I took Everett with me to Wal-Mart and he told me that was "so fun." He also kept asking where Hampton was since he is not used to being out with me without Hampton.

At noon we picked Everett up from preschool and then came home and had lunch. After a short play time, the babies both napped. After nap they were still a bit out of it, so they watched a video together. I love that they can do this now and it is so cute.

Later in the afternoon, Everett's sweet friend Abigail came over for a playdate. She is younger than Everett, but they are so cute together. Here is my best attempt at capturing a hug.

Another great day with my babies! Looking forward to a family weekend. The three of us always have a good time together, but we miss Dada!
