I'm watching you!

Here's a little clip of Anderson playing on the floor next to Everett (big boy sitting in his Bumbo seat!). Check out how intensely Everett is watching Anderson! Midway through Anderson tells Everett to say "cheese!" because he saw me with the camera. :) Too cute!

San Antonio Visit

This past week we loaded the boys into the car around bedtime and off we went on a drive to San Antonio. Both boys "went to bed" in the car and woke up the next morning at "Nammy and Boots' house"! Anderson was thrilled. As soon as he woke up that next morning, at 6:00am, he was up and ready to play and didn't stop the entire visit! Everett did really well for his first trip too! We all had a great time!

Daddy's Little All Star

Mommy's MVP

Grammy and I took the boys to Kiddie Park, which is a small amusement park that Anderson's grandfather, dad, and aunt grew up going to in San Antonio. It was really hot, but Anderson had lots of fun riding the rides! I'm sure he'll want to go back next time we visit.

How adorable is this handsome little guy?

Anderson waiting at the door for his Aunt Reagan to arrive from being out of town on a work trip. He was SO excited for her to get there!

While in San Antonio we were able to take the boys to see their Great Gran, who was in the hospital following a stroke. I'm really happy we were able to go visit her so she could meet Everett! Anderson make the apple tree picture for Great Gran that's on her lap. :)

Our 4th of July

Here are some pictures from our July 4th weekend. Nana B and Grandpa Billy came to visit for the long weekend and we all had so much fun! Anderson loved the children's parade that we went to on Saturday morning. We decorated his wagon and he rode proudly! Later that evening we went to a fireworks watching party in Addison hosted by some friends. Anderson stayed up deliriously late, but was in the best mood the entire time until he zonked out in the car on the ride home. He's a partier! Everett...? He slept through most events. ;)

Everett Being Cute

Here's a short video of Everett playing on his musical mat. He loves staring up at the flashing lights above him. Such a cutie pie, even in his little reflux moments. ;)

Frowny on the 4th

Two years ago we took Anderson (as a 3 month old) to a July 4th children's parade. We just happened to snap this picture when the fire truck that led the parade came by with it's siren blaring. We've always loved this "frowny face" picture.


Well, this year Everett went to his first parade and we thought that maybe he would also dislike the fire truck's siren. Sure enough... here's his "frowny face" picture! (and in true Everett style, he has some milk on his face ;)

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 :)
