Quick Earl Update: I have an ultrasound on January 31 (the day I leave for Hawaii). I meet with my lady doctor the week I get home from Hawaii. So we'll see what Earl has been up to since Christmas.

On to the more fun update: Everett!

He is such a fun little person. Every day is different because he's always learning new things.

Words: whoa, dog, hi, ball, bye bye

Favorite foods: fruit (any and all of it), sixlets, pancakes, carrots - I'm sure there are more.

This little guy is pretty independent - he can entertain himself, but also likes to play with others.

He loves to "share" his toys with Chewy and he loves to give Chewy his rawhides and chew toys.

 I don't know what it is, but I love pictures of kids when they are looking down. It's the chubby cheeks! They are kissable cheeks.

 Kill me. He looks like such a big boy. 

 Playing after church.

 I caught him hugging his wood animals.

 His BM and BD (birth mom and birth dad) sent him a fun package for Christmas Included were even gifts for Nic and me (tie for Nic and a beautiful handmade scarf for me). 

Playing with one of the gifts:

 Our front, main room has these big lovely windows. They give lots of natural light, but it's not so great when you're trying to watch a movie/TV during the day. We bought some great, room darkening curtains. 

I love them - they give the room such a different look.

 Playing with another toy from BM and BD. He was pulling some great cheesy faces.

We will enjoy our little goober for a little while longer before we leave in 1 1/2 weeks for HAWAII!!!

I will miss him...a lot...
