Family Time!

These past few weeks Everett has met so many of his cousins and aunts and uncles, it has been a busy busy time! My mom, Everett and I went to West Virginia and stayed in Mannington, WV with my great aunt Violet and went to Wheeling, WV to meet Everett's great grandmother and see Aunt Amy and his second cousins Alison and Mallory. We also went down to Dayton, Virginia for cousin Maddy's first communion and to meet cousins Liam, Cavan and Chloe and aunt Charlotte and uncle Josh for the first time. Aunt Abby and her boyfriend Steve came with us and it is always great to see them! We just got back from Everett's first ever trip to Boulder, Colorado to see cousins Lucette and Violet and aunt Jenni and uncle Will. Jenni and I ran the 10k Bolder Boulder, the largest race in the country with 50,000 participants! We were super proud that we were able to run the entire race without stopping....not bad for two new moms :) Everett did wonderful on each plane ride, but has a hard time not sleeping in his crib...so Ben and I have had a few rough nights lately!

We are spending this last week before I return to work just hanging out and spending lots of time together. Everett had his four month appointment today and did wonderful with his shots...he is a brave little guy. He weighed in at 18 lbs, 1 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. He is a big guy!! He started on rice ceral this week and although he only eats a little, he seems to like it so far. He is rolling over consistently as well (from front to back, but not yet from back to front) and loves his bumbo and jumpster. We signed up for music together and water babies for the summer session and continue on with our baby yoga on Fridays. He loves all his activities!

Here are some recent pictures of Everett's travels.... will update more later!

Best Friends!

Here is a recent picture of the adorable boys. They are all getting so big!

First Mother's Day

Everett and Ben made my first mother's day so special. Last weekend they took me on a mystery trip to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. It was a place I had always wanted to visit and we had a great time! We went hiking, swimming, bowling and ate some great food. Everett enjoyed the trip and was such a happy baby the entire time! We hope to make it a yearly tradition for Mother's Day. This weekend Everett got to meet more of his great aunts and uncles. His Great Aunt Cynthia came all the way from LA to visit and Everett also met his Great Uncles Charlie and John and Great Aunts Nancy and Linda at a nice Mother's Day dinner in Alexandria. Aunt Abby came down from New Jersey and we went to a Nationals Game as well. Lots of family fun. Everett and I are getting ready to head to West Virginia this week to introduce him to more of his extended family. More pictures to come!
