He's Getting Ready..

I think that we are just weeks (or even days) away from needing a gate for the stairs! He loves to get into crawling position. So far, however he has not yet moved forward (unless you count the "leaps" forward, as you can see in this video. He is quite good at moving backwards and around in a circle, though.

Everett is 7 Months Old

Last Monday Everett turned 7 months old. He sure is a happy baby, especially when Dad amuses him!

Bath Time

Everett now has three different bath tubs that he has used. There is the white one, in which he can lay down (but he's outgrown this one.)




He also has a blue one that we used up until he was about 3 months old with a "net" for little infants. We then tried to use it recently where he could sit in the large open side in our bathtub, which was a bit more difficult since he was not quite sitting up.



Thanks to Cousin Lincoln's suggestion, he has found one that is just right! He loves the ducky bath, especially when it "quacks"!

Bouncing Boy!

Everett has a bouncing playgym that he likes to stand in and play with the toys attached to the gym. (And by play, I mean mostly chew. See below.)


Over Christmas, Everett had fun playing in my parents bouncing play gym. So much fun that he figured out that he could bounce in it. He carried that over to our bouncing playgym and voila!


I took a picture but it obviously was not going to suffice. Here's a video with Everett bouncing to a very appropriate song! Hi Ho Silver and Away!

Christmas

Everett spent his first Christmas in Lincoln with Grandma and Grandpa Hauner, Linda, Scott and Cousin Lincoln. It was a great time and everyone got some great gifts...especially Everett!





Everett had a cold while we were there so he took lots of naps with people. See below...

Merry Christmas!

Everett wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! (Santa suit is courtesy of his day-care provider, Lanette!)

Santa Comes for a Visit!

Right before Christmas, Santa stopped by our house to ask Everett what he wanted for Christmas. I'm not sure what Everett told him, but I'm pretty sure he got everything he wanted, as he has been a very good boy this year!




Randy's friend, Michael also stopped by later to visit, but he just missed Santa! :)

Avery heard that Santa was coming to visit our house and she thought she would come over and let Santa know that she was also a very good girl and wanted a Dora Sit-N-Spin for Christmas. Everett was enamored by her beauty and just had to give her a hug and kiss! (Everett's first girl friend?)
