16 Weeks!

Today, our little boy underwent his 16-week check-up. Much to our delight, good ol' Dr. Metzl declared him a "healthy baby." Everett also received the green light to immediately begin eating rice cereal with other "real" food to soon follow. Our little ball-of-fire continues to grow on a blistering pace. Here are his latest dimensions including their respective rank when compared to his peers:

Length: 26 5/8 inches - 97%
Weight: 17 lbs 12 ounces - 95%

Simply put, he's a big guy with a big appetite; he recently began eating 7-8 ounces of milk per setting! Mommy and I both are happy to begin feeding him real foods in the hopes that he may begin sleeping longer/better, which means we sleep longer/better...

Cheers!

Guess How Much Everett Weighs...

Well, take a look at this picture and guess how much he weighs. Please note the hint on his bib....

Everett is 12 Weeks Old!

Last Thursday, Everett celebrated his 12 week birthday. He celebrated by playing in his Baby Einstein gym that he just loves! Look at how excited he is!

An Everett Divided!!

Well, last week was the first college football weekend. Everett got to watch Nebraska and Oklahoma State's first games of the year (and his first football games ever). Luckily, he had the appropriate attire for each game. After watching both teams I'm pretty sure that he's decided to be a Husker. GO BIG RED!!

Tummy Time!

Everett has gotten very good at holding his head up during tummy time. Here's a display of his talents from a couple of weeks ago.
Everett seemed to like this hat the other day so I thought you'd all enjoy seeing him in his "cool kids" hat.

Speaking of Daycare

Our dayceare provider, Stacey, took some wonderful pictures of Everett the other day at daycare and emailed them to us. Take a look. They are very good...but, of course, she had such a good subject to work with!

Daycare

Well, it has been four weeks now that Everett has gone to daycare. He seems to like it there. He is also very popular. When we arrive in the morning, there are two little girls (around 18 months) that just love to see Everett. We usually put him in his carrier on the kitchen table and those girls just have to see him. They try to bring their little stools or chairs over to stand on next to the table to get a glimpse of him. The other day I lifted one of them up to see him and as soon as he saw her face he just started laughing and giggling. A girlfriend already?

There is also a little boy there named Ricky that is about 2 years old. He always makes me feel good as he refers to me as "Everett mommy?". Yes, I am a mommy now!

Here's pictures of my first day back at work (for a whole week) and Everett's first day at daycare.
