Road Trip!

We got out of Dodge for a few days and drove to San Diego.  Everett is a great traveler!  He enjoyed our lunch break on the road and made himself quite at home at the hotel.  Of course, Thomas and friends came with us.

Everett loved that the microwave was at his level.

Big Brother Practice

I have been talking about babies with Everett a lot lately.  I point them out when I see them out and about and we play with an old Cabbage Patch.  Everett has become really gentle with the baby.  When I make it "cry", he comes over and gives it a hug and kiss.  It is so sweet!  I think he is going to be a great big brother!

My Special Mother's Day

It was a special morning at our house.  Dada got up with Everett so Mama could sleep in and then delivered breakfast in bed to her!  Dada made Mama a beautiful collage full of pictures of her and Everett and Everett's card to Mama was a recordable one that when opened, was Everett's voice saying, "I love you Mama".  Mama was crying!  She loves her boys so much!

In Dada's Shoes

Everett's new favorite past time is putting on Dada's shoes and walking around in them.  The first day, he just barely got them on, but then once he figured out how, he has done it a bunch of times.  He can walk all the way across the room and does so with a huge, proud smile on his face.  Plus, he has incredible balance!  He can stand on one foot for extended periods and stay very steady.

Worker Bee

Here's my little helper who was eager to vacuum when he saw Mama doing it.

Making a Splash!

We finally got Everett away from the train and playground and into the water.  He was pretty shy at first, but by the time we had to leave, he was definitely into it.  Dada even took a turn cooling down.

All Aboard!

We went to the train park today.  We had only planned on playing in the splash pad, but at soon as Everett saw the train, "Ride train!!!!", was all we heard.  So we bought our tickets and headed to the caboose this time.  Everett really enjoyed it, naturally.  The boy loves trains! 

Here is his new Thomas bathing suit - perfect outfit for a train ride!
