Big Guy!

Well yesterday we confirmed what we have always known is true, Everett is a big boy! He had his nine month appointment yesterday (wow how time flies) and weighed in at 25lbs (95%) and is 29 3/4 in. long (90%). He was not too happy about his shots or his finger prick, but quickly got over it (he is easily distracted!). At least now I can feel better that it is not becuase I am super old that my back kills me after spending the day with him! Poor Grammy had to see a massage therapist three times after watching him for the weekend. We cannot believe how quickly the past nine months have gone. Everett has changed our life so much for the better, he is our joy and inspiration. We love seeing his shiny happy chubby face when we get him up in the morning. We look forward to what each coming day brings and we are so happy he is our little (I mean big) boy.

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We took Everett to his first pumpkin patch this weekend at Cox Farms in Centreville, Va. It was quite a production! We could not believe all the people there and all the fun things they had to do for kids (hay rides, goat world, corn mazes and slides galore). Everett had a great time and even let us dress him in his adorable elephant costume for a few minutes (he does NOT like the elephant hat!). Here are some pictures of our special little man-- the love of our life!

Let's Go....... Mountaineers!!

It is a requirement in order to be accepted in the Caldwell family to be a WVU football fan. With Grammy being the #1 WVU football fan in the continental states (heck, probably all 50 states), we knew that Everett had to get in on the action early. We took Everett to his first WVU game (well, technically not his first, he went in utero last season!) the first weekend in October. We had a great weekend, capped off by WVU's win over Rutgers, and got to spend a nice few days with Grammy, Pap Pap, Aunt Emily and Uncle Matt. Everett was under the weather the whole time, which was very sad (his first real cold), and he did not much like the game itself (too loud!), but we made it through halftime before nap time came calling. We told Everett he better get used to games in Morgantown, Grammy won't let him play ball for any other team. Here are some pictures from our fun weekend.
