Blood Work

This morning we took Everett to have his blood taken. Ivan sat in the chair with him and I was in charge of holding his arm. I think I was more nervous than Everett. Well... when the needle went in I closed my eyes and held on to Everett's arm really tight. After the first vile was full the nurse moved on to the next and the blood wasn't coming out that quick. I thought that maybe I was squeezing his arm to tight so I released my grip a little - BIG MISTAKE! Everett pulled his arm back, the needle came out and blood was shooting out of his arm. Well of course there wasn't enough blood in the second vile so we had to move to the other arm! I felt so horrible I almost cried. Poor little guy!

Hot and Humid!

Today was a very hot day - high of 92 degrees. Of course Everett wanted to be outside all day. When he had enough of the park we took him to the roof. Ivan took out the hose for him to cool off. He loved it!

Potty Mouth Toddler

So it's definitely confirmed - Everett curses!

A few weeks ago I dropped something and said "Oh Sh*t" and a little voice behind me repeated it. I wasn't too sure but then later that weekend he was gardening with Grandma and he dropped some dirt and out came Oh Sh*t in his little voice! Although it was funny at first he is using it often in the right context. Just last night I said it again and not even a second later Everett whispered oh sh*t - I really have to watch what I say!

Crusin' in NYC

Everett has really been enjoying his "Ride" these days. He loves to take his car out and cruise around town. Yesterday evening we went to go meet Ivan at the bus and Everett brought his cell phone. For 2 blocks he was talking on his phone while driving saying Hello Dada - Hello.... It was way too cute!

Bet you don't have one of these....

Everett loves balloons just as much as the next 2 year old. So... last week he was at the deli looking up at a balloon they had above the sandwich counter. I guess the guy behind the counter couldn't resist his cute little face - so he gave it to him. I think Everett could be the only kid in NYC with a Boars Head EverRoast Chicken Balloon!

How to Deal with the Terrible 2's...

...CAGE EM'. Although Everett has had his Terrible 2 moments we didn't really cage him. This past weekend he was at the Versaci's house and crawled into their dog's cage. It was all his doing .... really.

The "O" Face

When Everett is excited or shocked he puts on his "O" face. It usually lasts about 30 seconds and he is really good at it!

Adorable!

CAKE PLEASE!

Everett really knows what he wants and he's not stopping till he gets some cake.

Good thing he is having a few Birthday celebrations this year!

Can't believe our baby is almost 2!
