EMW-11 months

Everett has become quite the CLIMBER!!  Different child or difference in boys and girls?  I am unsure but I do not recall this degree of climbing with Lofton.  He can crawl right up the stairs without a problem and thinks it's hysterical.  He's working on getting on the furniture and taught himself to flip over onto his tummy and slide off the couch.  Everett is eating some table food but with only 2 teeth (and a super cautious mama) we still do quite a bit of pureed foods.  Also, he says "mama".  maybe it's to me, maybe it's just an easily syllable to repeat...either way, i'll take it!






And then THIS happened.  We're not sure if it was a reaction to penicillin or a virus that may have set it off, but regardless I never want to see my baby look this way again!  It is called erythema multiforme.  He wasn't bothered by it and did not have any breathing difficulties, but he was so swollen that he was unrecognizable.  No more penicillin allowed in the Mitchell house!




The Little Mermaid

Our sweet friends Jenni and Brynlee Silverman invited Lofton and I to go see The Little Mermaid musical on 3/1/14.  It is so fun to do "big kid" things with her and she loved the show.  Really, she loved the first half.  She slept some of the second half since it didn't start until almost 8 :)  Looking forward to many more fun outings with friends!




EMW 10 months

Everett turned 10 months on 2/19/14.  He is now a full on crawling machine and is also pulling up and waving bye bye.  His sleep continues to be pretty good and we are SO thankful.  No signs of walking in the near future which is fine by me!  I think crawling is just adorable.  A small amount of hair tells me he won't be bald forever, but a haircut is unlikely in this calendar year :)
