Meeting Miss Camille James!!

This past weekend we traveled to Lake Rabun, GA to meet Camille James Jenkins. Everett did great on the plane ride and we enjoyed a wonderful weekend just relaxing and spending quality time with our dear friends Marcela and Barton and their newest addition, Camille, who was born in November 2008. Camille is such an amazing baby, such a good sleeper and I do not think we heard her cry once during our entire weekend. Everett loved the boat ride and hiking to the waterfall and being his silly self in general. Here are some photos of our trip!

Loving His New Red Wagon!

Grammy and Pap Pap bought Everett a Radio Flyer Red Wagon for his 1st birthday! He loves it and thinks he is such a big deal being pulled around the neighborhood. Here are some photos of his first ride around the block.

Cousin Time!

Twin cousin Amelia, her mommy Monica and Uncle Guy and Aunt Maria came up to DC to visit and we got to spend some time with them all and of course cute cousin, Lanna and Chris and Yoko. It is always fun to see Amelia since she and Everett were born on the exact same day! Here are some pictures of our fun visit!

First Haircut!

We recently took Everett to get his first haircut as his hair was getting unruly! I was a little concerned that he would not sit still while the barber tried to cut his hair, but he actually did. He looked like such a big boy in the racecar chair, it was very cute. Here are some pictures!

1 Year Old!

Today Everett had his 1 year appointment with Dr. Barakat and he is progressing nicely! His measurements were 28 lbs, 31 1/2 inches long, and 19 1/4 head size-- all put him in the 95%. We are ready to sign him up for the football team. On January 31, we celebrated Everett's big day with a birthday party with some of his little friends. The theme was sock monkey and Everett had a ball. We had his music together teacher, Katherine, come and do a class for the kids. Pierson, Gabriel, Jack, Owen, Brice, Brayden, Patrick and Azra and their parents all came for the festivities along with Grammy, Pap Pap, Grandma Berry and Aunt Abby and Uncle Steve. It was lots of fun! On other exciting news, Everett took his first steps on January 21, but within the last week actually really started walking. He falls down quite a bit, but it getting the hang of it. He loves his new found independence and is keeping us busy. In other exciting baby news, we learned that Everett will welcome a baby brother in early June-- Rollin Vincent--named after his other two great grandfathers. We are anxiously awaiting Rollin's arrival and are so excited he will join our family. Here are some recent pictures of our toddler.... not a baby anymore :(
