The Lauens: December 2010

Our little Everett is still growing, but he sure is slimming out. He is 24 lbs. I don't know how tall, sorry! He is looking slimmer though. This must be because he is now mobile. Still not crawling, but he bum scoots really well. Some people have been able to see how he gets out of crawling. You try to put him on his knees and he simply does the splits! It is really funny. He does not want to crawl.

Everett loves food and is enjoying trying to chew. He takes very large bites though so it is supervised. Beagle is enjoying him eating food. She waits patiently for his food to come magically down from his chair.

He is talking lots and loves to be a part of conversations. He loves to laugh, and seems to understand when it is appropriate to laugh, so it always goes over well. He is still such a charmer, all of the ladies love him, and he even gets the guys eating out of his hands.

Everett is very into pointing, and wants you to take him to whatever it is that he wants or, or bring it to him. Everett does not like to be told no, when you say no or take something from him, he gets very frustrated and likes to throw things or hit. It is funny… for now!

Well Everett has one parent who is done school. Mommy finished on December 17^th. So now she has to find a job. We will keep you all posted.

Everett loves peek-a-boo, the more dramatic the better. He really likes when you scare him, he is so funny. Everett loves little kids and was able to see Macey and Faith recently and loved playing with them. He also loves big kids like Colton, who Everett finds hilarious.

We are very excited to have our first Christmas with Everett. He is going to be a blast, permitted we can get some drugs for him. He is very sick right now. Everett has a viral infection which has left him with 6 or 7 sores on the back of his mouth. Poor little guy, the Dr. showed me, they look so painful. the only thing that we can do is lots of fluidsand advil and tylenol around the clock! So hopefully he is better for Christmas. Because he is no eating much righ now.

We love our little Viking and cannot wait to see what the next month has in store, he learns so much every day and does something new everyday. He is so interesting to watch and play with.

Merry Christmas Everyone, love from the Lauens
