Everett is one!, 1st Haircut, etc.

His current favorites: 

eating- especially apples, grapes, bananas, crackers, and cheese

 (He pulled the Triscuit box off the shelf and pulled out the bag and dumped out the crackers.)

Scribbling. 

He drew all over this box from the day it arrived until he was allowed to open it on his birthday. (I helped a tiny bit so if you see a heart or face, those were me, the rest was him) 

Speaking of scribbling, he likes pens. He carries them around with him. He is actually really good at only drawing on allotted surfaces. And he is quite good at holding the pen semi-properly.  

This picture also shows an example of how he likes to get into small spaces behind and between furniture.

 He likes to babble, explore, drum on surfaces, and laugh. He wants any electronic device he sees us using or that is in reach. He loves to play with toys and whatever else he decides is a toy. He likes to stack, pretend to eat, push buttons, push objects around the floor, play catch, take off his socks, hit things with sticks, open/close/turn/lift/slide/twist and otherwise manipulate objects often using other objects. 

He is close to being weaned, close to standing on his own, making progress towards walking.

I just love him and am so grateful to be his momma.

He got this adorable outfit from Great Grandma and Grandpa Marr and Aunt Julie.

 Everett and I joined the Joel and Staci Marr family for a trip to the mall and Spokane falls. Everett sat on Santa's lap at the mall. He reached out for me but didn't cry. So he wasn't quite traumatized.

He succumbed. 

 First Haircut!

Everett's hair was getting too long around the ears and in the back so we had Staci trim it up. Joel would attempt to hold his attention in the direction she needed him to face, and she somehow managed to only snip hair.  Thank you Staci!

He made this face for the camera! I don't remember him ever smiling on cue like this.

You know that cat that Everett wasn't a huge fan of. It likes us, and our car.

We have since put more limits on where Everett is allowed to roam and what he is allowed to get out of cupboards. But isn't he too cute! He looks like Winnie the Pooh.

Oh, and he's a model
