A Few Random Things

Everett is 2 months old! Wow...has it really only been 2 months?!

This past week I volunteered at our church's Vacation Bible School and Anderson was able to participate in the fun. He really got a kick out of the fact that we wore matching shirts everyday and that everyone else was also wearing the "boat shirt". :)

I walked into the living room the other day and found Anderson like this:

Basically, Anderson situated himself inside my nursing pillow, with a blankie and his milk. I think he's a little jealous of the time Everett spends on that pillow with burp rags while he drinks milk!

Anderson discovered this decorative bicycle (reminds us of our trip to France 4 years ago) in the formal living room. He proceeded to call it his motorcycle and attempt to ride it. We thought this was hilarious!

Bathtime Cuteness & Friends

I love it when Everett comes out of his little bathtub and gets all wrapped up in the towel. He likes to be held and snuggled to get dry and warm. I love how his cute little face peeks out from the towel and he's holding on to that paci for dear life.

Here are a few pictures from an afternoon with friends. Anderson's best friend Brody also has a new baby brother! His name is Matthew and he's about 3 weeks older than Everett. So, Everett already has a good friend since Matthew's mom and I spent lots of time together when we were pregnant. Now they get to hang out together in the real world too! (Notice their cute matching pacifiers :)

Anderson Holds Everett

This video is funny for all sorts of reasons. One, you get a glimpse into the 90-mile-per-hour mind of a toddler. Second, Everett delivers a 'surprise' for Anderson. Third, if you look closely I think you can see glimpses of annoyance on Everett's face as Anderson pokes and prods (it looks a little like Everett is batting Anderson away with his flailing arm ;). Fourth, understanding Anderson's 2-year-old language requires a translator (Mommy) in most instances.

Holding Everett is truly one of the highlights of Anderson's days lately! I'm so happy that he already loves Everett so much and is such a great big brother.

Everett's Smile

We're starting to see more and more of this adorable little grin!

Anderson & the Trucks!

On Friday the City of Carrollton had an event at the library to kick-off the summer where children could see, touch, and climb on all sorts of city cars and trucks. When I heard about it I knew Anderson would have so much fun! So, despite the 90 degree weather and toting Everett along, I took Anderson to see the trucks. Here are some pictures of Anderson's fun! (It was so hot that it didn't take much convincing to get Anderson to leave after we'd seen them all. He kept saying "Hot" over and over!)

Anderson Loves Baby Brother

Anderson loves getting to hold Everett. Usually Everett isn't too excited about it, but today he actually laid on Anderson's lap for a long time even dozing off for awhile. Anderson was super excited that Baby Brother took a nap on him!

Wiggle Worm

Everett is now almost 6 weeks old! He's starting to give us a few smiles here and there along with some cute cooing noises. In this short video, you'll hear a tiny fraction of the noise that Everett makes that earned him the nickname "Pterodactyl". What's adorable is that sometimes Everett will make his loud squawking noise and Anderson will hear and exclaim "Pterodactyl!".
