Everett's 2!!

I'm a little behind on posting but last Sunday, the 21st, Everett turned 2!! He's becoming such a big little kid. He has grown so much just the past little bit. I've always wondered when he'd start talking and saying things and the past few weeks his words are becoming clearer. He's repeating what we say more and more. He's a great helper (when he wants to be), he loves his little sister, and he LOVES hanging out with Dad.

We had a little birthday party, last month, for him. So we didn't do too much on his actual birthday. Todd's cousin Alyssa came up and we had some cake and ice cream. He was able to talk to both grandparents on skpe. We went and go him a little something so he could open a present, but sadly he found it that morning and of course had to watch it. It was a Dora DVD. I guess I have to had his presents a little better now!

I should be better at writing this stuff down when it actually happens, but these are just some of the things I can remember off the top of my head. Everett is continuing to grow so much. He likes to test me and I'm pretty sure he knows exactly what to do to make me go crazy! He has the most contagious loving smile. I can't stay upset with him for too long. We love our little guy and can't get enough of him!
