on the move

Everett is ALL over the place. He rolls to get stuff now. The other day he got himself over to a grocery bag I had on the floor and was going through it. Today he got Av's bagel. Life is changing and we all better watch out bc he is on the move!!!

cold eyes

I was wearing my glasses the other morning. Camille looked at me and said, "those you (her grammar is still pretty bad) glasses? They keep your eyes warm." Heheheheheh The thoughts of a 2 year old. Guess it makes sense though. You do put things on to keep you warm.

potty

Camille is doing amazing with her potty training. I am soooo proud of her. She is completely pee potty trained. Still having poo issues but luckily I know her schedule so so far I can catch her and it's not been a problem at all. One of these days that will come too. So nice only having one in diapers!!

5 months

Everett has started rolling from back to belly now and starting to figure out he can roll to get to things. He was doing it today. I don't think he quite realizes that its a form of transportation yet but since he can do it now it will not be long. He is all over the place. He can scout himself forward and backward and roll all around and gets in the crawling position. We are in trouble soon. I was stilling on the floor tonight with him between my legs. I was not touching him at all and he was sitting on his own for 15 seconds or so at a time. He also loves to talk. He will hold his paci and look at it and just talk and talk to it. He really has a lot to tell it. He also has this stuffed dog that has tags on it that he got for Christmas that he probably spends 2 hours a day playing with. Every time he wakes up he plays and plays with it until he calls out for someone to come get him. He eats his cereal really well for daddy but anyone else not so much. He is still up twice a night pretty much every night. Really wish we could get him down to once. He's like his big sister Camille. He does eat and go right back to sleep (I'm up 15 minutes total) so it's not so bad. He's also a big boy. It's about time to put away his 3-6 month clothing. He is ALWAYS happy! He's a pretty neat little boy!!!!!

bike

The other night the girls and John went out to get the garbage cans and bring them back up to the house. I was in doing something with Everett. They were outside for awhile and I loved they were just having a good time together. Come to find out John got Av to finally ride her bike that G&PP got her for her bday last year. It is a bike with training wheels but we didn't get the smallest one. We decided to go with the 16" instead of the 14" thinking it would last her longer. Well she was not quite tall enough for it so it scared her to even sit on it. Knowing (hoping) this spring she would be taller and then it would work we just put it away. That night Av was riding her bike down the sidewalk and Camille was riding the tricycle. So cute and I missed it. I was so mad he didn't come get me. Brat!!!

strong boy

When Everett is doing belly time he can get his belly fully off the ground. He pushes up with his arms and gets his knees up under his butt. He is going to be on the move way sooner than I will be ready. As soon as he figures it all out he is going to be off. He is too strong!!!

Cereal update

Everett has started to LOVE his cereal. Wednesday night was the first night he ate it down and of course it was daddy who got him to eat it (mom was chop liver that night). Last night he ate his first bowl down and had seconds! This week he has been sleeping GREAT too. He started the sleeping great streak before he started actually eating his cereal so who knows but I am sure the cereal is helping the sleep!! He has only been up once all week at around 3 or 4. I hope it continues.
