Everett is now a walking pro and can almost run a bit. When he picks up the speed, he puts his arms straight in front of him instead of up at his shoulders.
He has started saying "dath" [bath], "bubba" [bubba], "guh-guh" [thank you - in response to being handed something], "dy-der" [diaper], and he can sign "more" "please" "thank you" "water" and his version of "no" which involves saying "no" and waving his arms like an umpire calling someone safe. He's fairly reliable with communicating whether or not he wants something, although he also uses the word "no" for the answer to a lot of questions: "what does the cow say?" "No."
If you tell him to give Emery a hug, he will. But she's the only one!
His top right tooth next to the center set has poked through and we're wondering if the other ones
nearby are coming soon. He has started preferring to hold food and bite it, rather than have broken up pieces given to him.
I (Tiffanie) started working from home part-time a few weeks ago and though Everett is napping through most of that time, sometimes he's awake. He will occasionally play in the room with me (climbing on Blake's guitar case, pulling books off the shelf, opening boxes in the closet, oh and maybe playing with actual toys), but usually he begs to sit on my lap (uck! uck! [up! up!]) but it's really so he can attempt to touch the keyboard, mouse, cell phone, etc. Sometimes he leaves the room, saying "buh bye" or "ah dun" [all done] - probably trying to convince me to end my work!
A few weeks ago, Everett found out he is going to be a big brother in August - about 2 months shy of his 2nd birthday! Emery is thrilled and Everett is of course clueless about what that will mean for him! Today he had Emery's doll baby, and he was hugging and patting her back. Minutes later, he had her by the leg and was swinging her around - big brother in training!
We were busy today and almost didn't get pictures done - so we took them in his jammies right before he went to bed!
