Everett: 4 Months

You just continue to grow and grow.

At your 4 month checkup you were

 2'2" 90% for height and

14 pounds 10 ounces 25% for weight.

You are our tall skinny boy and we continue to love you more and more every day.

During your shots this time you hardly even cried and were so brave.

However there were still plenty of tears at your appointment because you were a hungry one.

We are so grateful too at how amazing your pediatrician is!

You are learning to grasp items better which means lots of pinches for mom and dad.

You have now found the TV and are mesmerized by it.

You just can't get enough of sucking on your hands.

Your still figuring out how to get toys in that mouth of yours but making good progress.

One of the cutest things you did this month was take a break from eating your bottle to give me a big milky grin.

Those cheeks of yours are getting more and more kissable and I just want to eat them up.

You may be tall and skinny but are definitely getting chunky.

Yay for starting to sleep through the night most nights!!

Your hair continues to get thicker and longer.

Being outside is still a favorite. You are so fascinated by the trees.

We just love how you are continuing to explore the world around you.

You are barely starting to giggle and smile all day long.

I've heard moms talk about that amazing baby smell and this month I noticed it, and love it!

For a few days at every nap you would talk yourself to sleep while I rocked you.

Your first cold hit this month. It was so sad you couldn't breathe for a few days.

The cutest thing you started doing this month was finding your feet and playing with them!

We've noticed that you don't just suck on your thumb and fingers, you chomp them also.

There is nothing more beautiful or special than watching you sleep.

Thank you so much Everett for being our little boy. We love you and are the luckiest parents!

Everett's Blessing Day 8/9/2015

Everett's blessing day was perfect in every way. Stephen and I love our little boy so very much. Our love for him grows more and more every day. We couldn't imagine life without him. The morning of his blessing, Everett woke up not wanting to eat anything. I was a little worried that he may have a rough time at church. He finally ate his bottle and we got him all ready in his beautiful blessing outfit. Of course he spit up on it right away and pooped right before heading to church. Besides that he was so incredibly handsome and perfect. It was a sunny summer morning so Stephen and I walked to church with him.

The blessing that Stephen gave Everett was beautiful. Out of my favorite memories in life, listening to that blessing definitely makes the list. I will forever remember that moment and cherish it as being one of my favorites. I love the love that Stephen has for his baby boy. It makes me so grateful for my little family. Everett is the luckiest little boy in the world to have Stephen as his dad. I am so glad that I have Everett's blessing written down to forever cherish. And someday Everett can read it and know even more just how much his parents love him. It truly was a perfect day.

Everett: 3 Months

3 months already!

Everett has grown so much and is such a sweet and adorable little boy.

You are developing such a little personality and we love it.
You give us smiles all day long starting when you wake up and ending after you've fallen asleep.

Sucking on your hands has become a favorite. You are definitely finding that thumb of yours.

Still couldn't care less for pacifiers. 

This month you made the switch to formula and it was the best decision this momma has made yet.

We've started patting your bum to get you to fall asleep.

You now recognize your mom and dad and smile at us all the time.

Your favorite conversations are always with daddy. He can get you to jabber every time.

Small toys are easy for you to grab for and you usually hold them for a little while.
Glow worm is by far your favorite toy.
You just smile so much when mommy reads to you.

One week at church you really didn't want your bottle but momma forced it on you and you decided to spit up the entire 5 ounces all down yourself and moms dress. (that was a fun Sunday...)

You have become such a cuddly baby and we love every minute of it!

You had your first airplane ride and did amazing.
Sometimes now you will fall asleep while eating and its pretty adorable.

You are now in size 2 diapers.

We can't believe you are already 3 months old and changing more and more every day.
Mommy and Daddy love you so very much!
