He's a Cruiser and a Talker

Everett likes to keep busy. When he's not crawling or walking on his walker, he is cruising around the furniture. He also enjoy talking. He's growing up so fast!

He's Not a Dog, But...

In order to contain Everett, we find it necessary to put him on a leash sometimes. The gate is just not enough. See below:

Everett and His Walker

When Grandpa and Grandma Hauner came down for Linda's graduation, Lincoln passed down his "walker". Everett really liked playing with the walker, as you can see by the smile on his face.

We didn't think he was quite ready to walk on his own with the walker, but Grandpa set him up on it and he took off! He was walking on his own with the walker. Way to Go, Everett!

Lincoln and Everett

Everett has become very attached to his Cousin Lincoln. When he sees him, he will smile, talk and crawl up to him as fast as he can. Unfortunate for Lincoln, however is that Everett will pull up on him to stand up. Lincoln's not much larger than Everett so it's probably a bit of a strain on the guy when Everett's on him! Those two will probably be good buddies when they both get a bit older.










Lincoln enjoyed playing with the large legos that we had. He was very proud of the skyscraper that he built! (Maybe he'll be an engineer or architect?)

My Sister - a Dr.!

Two weeks ago, my sister, Linda, earned her PhD in Economics from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. We are all very proud of her. Congratulations, Linda!

Our First Family Vacation - San Antonio

On April 24th, the Davis household headed off to San Antonio, Texas for our first family vacation! It was nice and warm in Texas and the San Antonio "Fiesta" festival was going on. There were several major parades, street festivals and lots of fun activities going on while we were there. In addition to the fun, we all survived the flight, without any meltdowns, and slept pretty well in the hotel room.

Our hotel was right on the Riverwalk. Lots of fun stuff to get in to and
Everett enjoyed the view from our hotel room!


We spent lots of time walking on the Riverwalk and eating in the cool restaurants along the walk.


We also visited the Alamo. It was beautiful!




Whew! Vacationing is hard work!

Finally, More Teeth - April 17, 2008

After four months of having only two teeth (on the bottom), Everett has finally broken out two more teeth! The top two! There is at least another one on top that is trying to break through and he is constantly drooling and chewing on stuff to try to help get more teeth out.

Pulling Up

Little E-boy has gotten very, very adept to pulling himself up. He practiced a lot on the dancing bear that Grandpa and Grandma Davis got for him for Christmas.

He is also very good at pulling up on people, me and Dad in particular. He's so darn cute, you just can't resist picking him up!

The Window Game

Everett likes to look out the front door when it is open. (That is, when he is not busy shutting the door, which seems to be a favorite pastime as of recent.) He has also learned to make funny faces in the door. I'm so proud! See below!

One More Picture from Easter

Everett wanted to take a bath in Grandma and Grandpa Hauner's kitchen sink. He loved it and it was just his size. (Of course we had to post a bath picture. They are so cute!)

Everett's First Easter

This Easter Grandma and Grandpa Hauner were going to come down to KC (the weekend before Easter, actually). Then, Everett was sick. He did not want to contaminate Grandma and Grandpa so we went to Lincoln to celebrate Easter, on Easter! Here's some pictures from Easter. Grandma Linda was also there and we had a great time.


Everett also got to meet the Easter Bunny! (He was visiting Hy-Vee when we were there.)
