Lock Your Cupboards

Everett has gotten very bored with his toys lately. So he ventured into the kitchen and opened up some cupboards. After a round or two with the waffle iron, I helped him open some cupboards with some safer supplies. A future baker?

Notice how he is using the rolling pin properly in this one! Not staged!

Jammies

I realized that Everett is almost always in his jammies when I take pictures. It's because he and I are both at our best very early in the morning. This first picture is a personal favorite. He has gotten very brave lately. The second one is his newest form of transportation. Perfect crab walk form.

Don't Put All Your Everetts in One Basket

As most of you know, I have taken to calling my son "Dennis the Menace" lately. His curiosity combined with his indestructibility have created many a hectic day for Mommy. Though he learned to clap in March, he has recently rediscovered it and does it constantly. He even says "Yay!" every now and then. I put him down for a nap and when I came to check on him later, I found him sitting up in his crib clapping and smiling. Clearly the boy likes to celebrate!

And he is starting to wave. It is quite possibly the sweetest thing I have ever seen. It's a bit sideways, but it is a legitimate wave. And that gets a "Hi!" every now and then. No other real words, just lots of DADADADADADA. But when we ask, "Where is Daddy or Mommy or Zoe or Ball?" he turns and looks at whatever we asked about. Smart as a whip!

These pictures are from a morning when out of nowhere, Everett crawled over to a basket I have in the family room filled with bibs, burp cloths, and diapers and just climbed in. Nothing gets in his way!

All Capped Out

Everett wore his cap yesterday on our trip to the zoo. It was one of those bizarre days in the desert because we got stuck in the rain and the temperature dropped 25 degrees before our eyes. Everett loved walking in the rain and he kept his cap on all day!

Bubbles!

Everett and I got the old bubbles out the other day. He enjoyed them immensely. He showed off some interesting stretching moves. I swear he was a yoga instructor is a past life.

(I think he had eaten a bubble when I took this shot.)

These Are a Few of His Favorite Things

Everett is quite obsessed with a few things at the moment.

1. Climbing on the treadmill
2. Cheerios
3. Playing in Mommy and Daddy's bathroom (see pictures below)

Overall, I think the introduction to chicken went well. I made him chicken, sweet potato, and apples and chicken, mango, and brown rice. He definitely needs it mixed with veggies, but I think he liked it. He is getting his 4th tooth!

I decided to put my old lady shower cap on him and this is him catching a peek at himself in the mirror.

Like Mother, Like Son

This picture brings a tear to my eye. Even though I didn't have any when I was pregnant, I am certain it runs through his veins as it does mine.
