Smiley

Everett is now 6.5 weeks old and is smiling a LOT now! Of course mommy is not the photographer of the family and every time I try to snap a pic I end up with some blurry open mouth face shot but miss the smile! I'll have dad get on that project soon!

You can tell that all he wants to do is run and chase puppies and throw rocks and catch frogs... he doesn't stop wiggling and we are still working on the nap thing... it's like he just doesn't want to miss anything!

His eyes are still a dark gray blue. I'm surprised they are staying blue for so long I thought for sure they would turn brown like his daddy's or green like mine, but they may stay blue which would be beautiful!

Here are the lousy pics mama took:






Another big milestone for Everett (mostly because he gets to live now...just kidding!) he has begun to sleep through the night! For the past three nights he has been sleeping from 10:30 or 11 PM to 5:30 AM! This is HUGE! It means that mom and dad get to sleep in the same room all night, and that Everett gets a really good rest since he doesn't sleep much during the day.

We used a book titled "Becoming Baby Wise". We are a schedule oriented family so it worked well for us! We'll see in 20 years when he discovers abandonment issues in therapy!
