Rise of the Machine

I don't know where he picked up this expression and the word "Ohhhh", but this is classic Everett. Daddy took this photo "essay".

Splish Splash

Everett dipped his toes in at the splashpark. He loves to watch the kids playing. It won't be long until he's walking around there himself!

Say Cheese!

It is becoming increasingly more difficult to get my son to sit still. This photo session took a good half hour. I can't believe he's 8 months!

What? Do I Have Something on my Face?

Everett has been doing a lot better with finger foods. He really likes his organic Teddy Puffs, but they are quite magnetic when wet. Now we just have to work on his aversion to chunks!

Everything's Going Swimmingly

To celebrate our first hot day, we filled up Everett's new pool on the patio. He loved playing in it dry in the living room, so the water was a bit of a surprise.

But we think he liked it! He especially enjoyed being squirted with a water bottle by Mommy. Of course all he wanted to do was stand in the pool.

Zoe looked on - incognito. She knew we would try to put her in the pool if she was outside (just like the tunnel and tent we forced her into!).

Tunnel of Love

We bought Everett a tunnel, tent, and pool this weekend. He was hesitant about all three at first. Daddy had to show him how to do it (which proved to be quite tricky for Daddy).

Eventually he went through when one of us showed him an electronic device (ie. remote or camera) on the opposite end. That really accelerated his crawling!

I was washing breakfast dishes and there he was....pulling up on the fireplace and standing. I'm not ready for this!
