13 Month Post

Everett is 13 months. He runs everywhere he goes and just yesterday he got his first scrape at the playground. He didn't seem to care, but he definitely broke skin and there was blood. He loves to be outside, especially at a big park where he can run and run and run.

Everett has no fear and keeps me on my toes. If I wasn't careful he'd step off a 5 foot drop at the park, jump in the pond with the ducks, run into the road, and stick his head through our metal fence (wait, he did do that).

He now has 5 teeth, he just cut his 3rd tooth on the top of his mouth. Now that he actually has teeth, he has turned into a really good eater. Some of his favorite foods include: Mac n' cheese, spaghetti with meet sauce, cheese, and turkey. Also, he recently discovered a love for apples - yay something healthy!

A funny new thing Everett does is whenever he sees a blanket or pillow on the floor he runs over to it and then lays down and laughs. It's hilarious. He loves to give pats, but somewhere between 12 and 13 months, he decided he was too old for kisses. Sad! We miss them.

I love watching him grow and I love being his mom. How did I get so lucky to have this job?

One Year Later

I truly can't believe what happens in a year.

Everett, February 28th, 2009 - He doesn't even have a name yet.

Everett, now very aware of his name, February 28th, 2010

Everett Turns 1!

Everett turned 1 yesterday. I can't believe it. Time flies by sooo fast. Everett started the day with a #1 pancake and a long nap. After he woke up, we took him on a walk to the golf course to play and take pictures. He loved driving the golf cart with his dad and never wanted to let go of the wheel.


Before Everett's nap, we let him open one present. He was really good at unwrapping the paper and I think he enjoyed his gift...but only for a few seconds.


And he's off...

There's a happy boy!






That evening we had friends over for cake, ice cream, and more presents. We had a Fudgy the Whale Cake that said Happy Birthday Everett on it and lots of colorful cupcakes for the kids!


It's safe to say that Everett loves cake!

Everett loves books.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR SWEET ANGEL! We're glad you came into our life one year ago!
