Everett's Birthday


Our little buddy turned two this week, though he has been practicing being a "terrible" two for a while now. Just as stubborn and independent as his sister, these two are peas in a pod. Though I have no idea where they get these personality traits. :) 
The day here was very cold, so we put on the new hat and gloves from Grandma O and headed to the park anyway.
Later, I made Everett a motorcycle cake, Daylin was very helpful: practicing her icing penmanship.
Then we had family over for dinner and festivities, where he was spoiled with presents and fun.
Two little things that describe what our little man is up to right now.
  • He usually only uses one word at a time, but he is always very good about which word he says and how he says it, such that he communicates very well. I find it pretty adorable.. most of the time.
  • As indicated above, he LOVES motorcycles: watches the big ones as they go by and has been completely absorbed with the two new toy ones he got yesterday. He also has an ear for how the motor sounds as compared to cars. He can usually hear one coming before he sees it and waits anxiously for it to come into view.
We sure do love our little guy.
