First Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day is probably one of my favorite days of the year, mostly because its a free day to eat chocolate all day and no one can give you crap... but it is also a day that forces everyone to stop for even a minute and love those around them. Of course we should be doing this everyday but the fact is we don't! So I am thrilled to give a little piece of my happiness during the day to my son.
Having a little baby makes every holiday that much more special! Its such a treat to wake up in the morning and see that smiling face, it makes the "day of love" really mean something!
We spent the day playing Cupid and delivering love to all the cousins, aunties, grammi and papa and daddy.... so fun! Everett bought mommy and daddy chocolate strawberries that he gave to us at an afternoon visit to daddy at work, we sure are lucky to have such a smart son that likes to impulse buy ;-).
Here is Ev in his V Day shirt. I feel this look is explained best by the saying on his shirt:
Get it?? He can't even talk and is already a sarcastic little S**T!!
Of course Valentine's evening for Doug and I was not as thrilling as in the past, it was spent trying to calm a screaming child (he'd had enough of the love) we did get away for a moment to pick up Thai food while Cousins Asia and Morgan watched the hellion. It was not quite the vacation of old.
Hope everyone else had a great V Day and was loved to the hilt!! You all deserve it!

2 Months
Everett's 2 Month Stats:
11lbs, 23 inches, average... according to the charts that is, we of course think he's spectacular!
He's smiling all the time, and laughing every once in a while. Still have not captured anything on film yet though... he seems to recognize the camera and immediately stops performing!
Here is a pic of him on his 2 month birthday (within a day or two anyway)

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!

Pants that Button and Zip
I don't care if they are a size I will not even whisper. My new jeans have a zipper and button and even belt loops! I couldn't do it anymore, I could not go one more day in those damn maternity pants, I hope I will not have to wear them again for quite some time.
Future of ROCK!
I think we have the next Mick Jagger on our hands!!
Look at him holding onto the swing like such a big boy! :-)
