Everly's First Cat Experience

So, as you may remember, Melbo had a cat named Bubba for many years. And, Grace, who had a long phase of loving kitty cats (or "titties" as she would often say), LOVED Bubba the Cat. He was not a fan of being loved on, but he was never mean and he always allowed Grace to pet him and mess with him. He would try his hardest to escape but Grace always found him. And she really loved that cat. Well, Everly was not really around Bubba much and has not been around cats. And Everly, being our funny, little girl who is confidant and curious, came across Chloe the Cat at Milly & Bobby's house. Chloe is the perfect cat! Pretty, fat, thick fur and even better....she let Everly do anything she wanted with her, although they were only together a short time. And, I wish I knew that none of our family allergies would be affected so we could get Everly her very own kitten. I think Everly would love to have a cat. Check out the photos below!

Oh Everly! I hope you get to have your very own cat one day!

Everly's Style

I can't begin to explain Everly's style. So, I'll just show you instead. Just in the past month, this is how we dressed and played:

The Wash Car

The Wash Car - nope, not saying it wrong. Everly (and Grace before her) have called the car wash "The Wash Car" and neither of them have like going through one. I think the car wash is so fun to drive through! But, with both girls, I have had to taek them out of their carseats to hold them or put them in the front seat close to me. On this particular day, I loved watching Grace hold onto Everly and them both try closing their eyes so they could not see "the wash car". The funny thing is that Everly LOVES to point out car washes and tell me we need to go there, but as soon as we are in one, she changes her tune!

Everly's Bunnies

So, a couple of months ago, when Vic was taking Everly for a walk, he started pointing out things they would see in other people's yards. If they saw little statues of animals or children or other fun yard items, they would look at them and talk about them. Well, soon, they realized that quite a few houses had little stone or metal bunnies in them. So, over the past couple of months. when anyone takes Everly for a walk, it's "to go see the bunnies". We point them out and she walks up to pet them if we let her. It's the cutest thing! She acts like they are real and will tell them "bye bunny" when it's time to keep moving. One house, her favorite, has not only bunnies, but a goat and some carrots as decorations. She will walk all the way over to pet them and then tell the goat to eat the carrots. It's really the sweetest thing and I'm glad she and Vic started this routine. So, that is why, Vic bought for her, her own little metal goat for our yard at home, while at the pumpkin patch that day.

Nursing her baby

 

I walked in to my room one day, where my rocker that I nurse and rock Hazel is, and Everly is sitting in my chair with her shirt up and her doll nursing. It only lasted this one time and I have not seen her do it since, but I asked her about it and she said she was giving milk to her baby. I LOVED it because first, I think nursing is the sweetest thing and one of my favorite things and second, I loved it because she was only doing it because I do it. I love that they watch what we do and mimic it. It makes my heart so happy!

The Kids Right Now

I typically do birthday posts on the kids to record everything they are doing in that moment and stats and everything! But, their birthdays have come and gone and I have not done that. So, I will just do a quick update on each of my 3 kiddos right now.

Atticus:

• At his 7 year well check, he weighed 68 lbs (96th%) and was 4'2" tall (83%). 
• He is in size 2ish shoes, and size 8 shirts and shorts.
• He is a great sleeper and always has been. 
• Atticus's favorite foods are: breakfast bars or cereal for breakfast; the normal kids snacks; any kind of spaghetti/ravioli; mexican food; like Grace, he likes any sweets; he is not big on vegetables but will eat just about anything we tell him he has to eat; burgers with cheese, pickles and ketchup; he loves all drinks but we try to make him stick to water mostly; he loves a gatorade or lemonade or sprite; he likes strawberries, blueberries, applesauce, apples and grapes; he is really a good eater and will eat most of what we cook.
• Atticus's favorite things then were all sports cards, sports stats, and playing sports. 
• Atticus's favorite things right now are Star Wars Legos! He took a break for awhile from loving legos as much as he did in Kindergarten, but as soon as summer hit, he has gone right back to them. Mostly, he plays with Minifigs and makes Mocks all day long. Minifigs are the little figures that come with sets that come apart and he customizes them (with permanent marker), trades their body parts, makes every kind of Star Wars commander, pilot, clone, etc. that he can. He builds them all day long. He also makes what he calls Mocks which are setups of Star Wars scenes or just scenes he makes up. I have loved his imagination with these this summer and while it really is ALL he wants to do, it has been the perfect thing since I have wanted to be in the a/c so much and not out running around and entertaining the kids outside of the house. Now, the hard part to legos is picking them up. It shouldn't take long because you just scoop and dump, right? No. Atticus is my organizer and even though legos can all look the same to me, he wants to put them up specifically and it usually turns into a long ordeal. Part of me loses my patience waiting on him and the other part of me is glad he loves his hobby and cares about all of those little pieces! 
• And, we have also watched many Star Wars movies and he is begging to see Episode 3 as well as all of the news ones that have come out (that are other than Episode 1-6). Vic and I wanted to watch them all first just to make sure they were okay. But, when do Vic and I have time to watch a movie? ha! So, maybe before school starts, we can sit down with him to watch at least 1. He has waited patiently. He has also watched a lot of Clone Wars on Netflix and loves that series because it gives him "ideas for his mocks". 
• He has even taught Grace many Star Wars things and she likes to build with him pretty regularly too, which he loves. But, then, usually abruptly, she decides she is done and he is so mad that she won't play with him. On the other hand, she will beg to play with him, and he will be too busy and want to play by himself. Such is the story of life with siblings!
• Atticus is still my adventurer. He is up for anything and not hesitant - a trip, playing with friends, going to do something new.
• He is a great big brother. He argues with Grace more, of course, but he loves her and will encourage her and take care of her and almost always include her when they are playing with friends.
• He is also a great big brother to Everly, who thinks he is hilarious and loves to play with him. he will talk baby talk to her sometimes but he can convince her to do things or just gives in to what she wants to do!
• He went through a stage in the spring where he ONLY wanted to wear athletic clothes and black socks and caps. Thankfully, he didn't know brand names and still doesn't. And he still LOVES a sports shirt or cap and many times, he has to pick just the right cap to wear on that day. 
• He's also into only wearing pajamas shorts to bed. No shirt. I don't know why.
• He has been really helpful with chores this summer. We started an allowance and his jobs are usually making his bed, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning up Everly's toys and his own, cleaning up his room, and sorting and helping with laundry. He likes making money and while I'm making them wait to spend their money until the end of the summer, he generally has been patient and is usually every good at doing his chores right away.
• Atticus talks about me and says "Mom" but still calls me "Mommy" and I love it.
• I struggle the most with making sure I don't expect too much because he is the oldest, but also still expect what I should of him. I do the same with Grace - it's just hard to not want to expect the same behavior from each kid, regardless of age or personality or day they are having. But, overall, Atticus gives me lots of grace, without realizing he is even doing it. So does Grace, actually.
• Atticus just has the best smile and is so handsome and so much fun and with one-on-one time, he really thrives! He is imaginative, but in a more organized way. He likes to learn about real life things and historical things. He loves to watch history or nature shows, as well as America's Got Talent, Muppet Babies, and silly kid movies. And, as always, he zones into one passion (animals, dinosaurs, legos, sports) and sticks with it for awhile.  
• Some funny phrases Atticus has said recently are calling the foyer/front hallways of the house the "atrium". He has also been having days of being serious and telling us he "is just not ready for the baby to come yet".
• Atticus is just a great kid and I love him so much. I can't believe 2nd grade is here!

Grace:

• At Grace's 5 year well check, she weighed 37 lbs (33rd%) and was 41.5" tall (24th%).
• She is my petite little girl! But, I have to try almost everything on her because she varies from size 4, 5, 5T, and even some 6 in her clothing. And she wears size 10 to 11 in shoes.
• She is a good sleeper...once asleep. We have JUST mastered her putting herself to sleep! We finally convinced her (with the closet light on and the door staying open to their room), that she is safe and shouldn't be scared and doesn't need us to fall asleep). And, she has off and on nights of staying in her room all night. If she doesn't, she quietly comes to our room for her pallet and when she wakes up in the morning, she quietly goes to play.  
• She is a picky eater. Her favorite foods are cereal with milk in the morning; water to drink (or chocolate milk if we ever buy it); snacks of goldfish, cheezits, apples, watermelon, popcorn, or cheesesticks; any sweet you can imagine; plain pasta, carrots with ranch, pizza, chicken nuggets, applesauce, sausage, mac and cheese, ravioli, and OCCASIONALLY some kind of casserole for dinner; she tells us how much she loves cauliflower for her vegetables; and finally, she will eat anything we give her once we sit and force it down her. Sometimes, that even ends 30 minutes later in her telling us she LOVED THAT FOOD!
• Her favorite things to do are imaginative play and crafts!
• This past spring, she could do nothing but talk about LOL dolls and shopkins and hatchimals and which ones were common or rare or special edition. She has checklists and I cannot tell you how many times we had to go through the checklists to talk about the toys (the goal of the toy makers is to get you to buy them all, because they are generally surprises and you don't know what you have until you buy them - yikes!) and how many times we would be in the car having these conversations.
• She loves to play in her dollhouses and is my kid that can take two random items and sit in the corner and come up with some situation and play with them. 
• Grace loves music and dancing! She memorizes words to songs (like soundtracks and the most recent is The Greatest Showman) and sings them over and over. She loves to play music from my phone and dance. She also loves gymnastics and is constantly doing "tricks" with her little flexible body or somersaults or trying out cartwheels. She has already informed me that after she does dance this year, she wants to do gymnastics so she can "get that cartwheel down." 
• This summer, she has gotten into crafts even more. Grace loves anything with scissors, colors, paint, glitter glue, stickers, markers, etc. She actually has become excellent at coloring and will do it all day long. She also wants us to color with her. she has recently been working on a Beanie Boo coloring book and is probably going to finish every page. She is so proud of her work! 
• She came up (from You Tube Kids maybe?) with a 3 Marker Challenge and she loves it. She closes her eyes, picks three markers, and only colors her page with those. She really likes it when we join her. 
• One of my favorite things is for her to come to my scrapbook room and bring all of her crafty things she is working on that day and setup across from me, while I do my computer to-do's during Everly's naptime. She will color and talk and color and talk. While sometimes I do tell her she has to color quietly, I really love that she wants to come in here and do this. Just recently, she will call this "our scrapbook room" or talk about sharing the scrapbook room one day.
• She has also started asking about a new house. Why does she want a new house? We are not getting a new house. But, she will ask me if it can have stairs. She will ask me if she can have a bathroom attached to her room or to the scrapbook room, "like mommy and daddy's". Why? I have no idea. But, she is slowly planning it out.
• Grace loves games and puzzles. While Atticus likes them ok, Grace loves them. She has gotten really good at these 100 and 200 piece puzzles I've found and will do them over and over, as well as her regular 24 or 48 piece puzzles. She also loves to play games. She could play them all day long, as long as she has someone to play with.
• One thing Grace does NOT do well is clean up her toys. She will have days of waking up and telling me she wants to help me cook or clean, but most of the time, when I ask her to clean up the toys, she 1) immediately has to go to the bathroom and 2) does a lot of complaining about cleaning them up. 
• On the other hand, she will do anything I ask to help with Everly - grab her a snack, pick something up for her, attempt to make sandwiches at lunch, etc. 
• Grace is a talker. She talks from sunup (which for her is 6:45 am) to sundown. She is a spider-webber, as my friend Meghan calls it - and can go from tangent to tangent (just like her mama, I'm afraid!). She has a tiny little high pitched voice that can get REALLY high pitched when she is excited, but it's sweet and I love it. But, if she falls asleep in the car or even if she wakes up in the morning after I do, she immediately has something to say. One day, she had slept in the car for 45 minutes or so, wakes up and in the first moment of being awake, she asks Vic to turn up the music and then goes right on as if she never even fell asleep.
• A few funny phrases she uses are "I'm shocked!" and she says "ducilite" for duplicate because she gets so tongue-tied. 
• Generally, Grace is always in a good mood. Of course, arguing with Atticus or going to bed too late changes that, but she wakes up happy and easy going. She generally accepts being told "no" or me changing up a routine or schedule, where Atticus is quicker to question it or complain a little too much about something that might not be a big deal. Grace can just be really easy going.
• She is also a great little sister! She adores Atticus and loves to be included with him. She can't wait to be at Pebble Creek with him. She loved when he would play ball with her or warm up with her this spring during t-ball. She likes to be included when the neighborhood kids play outside. She will choose Atticus to help her with something (like blowing out her birthday candles). I hope he always knows how important it is to protect her, because she really counts on him.
• She is also a great big sister and Everly loves her so much! She will play with Everly and help Everly and doesn't think she is too big for her. 
• Grace is a girly girl who doesn't love to get too dirty, but can play and have fun. She does get hurt a lot - or have lots of boo-boos and tears really quickly before she remembers that she is just fine. But, she loves to dress in bows and dresses just as much as her regular shorts and tshirts. And, she likes to play with makeup and nails and hair color and loves those reverse sequin shirts and anything rainbow or colorful. She also complains about her hair being done because it pulls when we take our ponytail holders or when I am putting it up; but then another day, she will be so proud to tell me that she doesn't mind if it hurts her. She is just up and down silly!
• Grace is growing out of a little of her shyness, but she is still sensitive when in big groups or when being put on the spot. She has really come a long way in being confident with friends and not always needing me. But, when she is uncomfortable, it still takes her awhile until she realizes she can do whatever it is she's worried about. I am excited for kindergarten because she will love it, but I worry about that first time we have to work her through being upset over something. I just want her little heart to always know she can do anything she wants and to not worry about what others think.
• Sometimes when I think of Grace, I just think of a little fairy that spreads happiness where ever she goes. She doesn't realize how funny she is! I love this beautiful little girl so much!

Everly

•  At her 2 year well check, she weighed 33 lbs (96th%) and was 34.75 inches tall (77th%).
• She is in some 2T, but mostly 3T clothes and size 7 shoes. 
• She is a great sleeper and loves her bed as long as she has her blanket, paci, mickey, and kitty with her. She sleeps great and still take a great nap, but if she isn't in the mood to sleep or wakes up in the middle of the night, she happily hangs out by herself to play and talk until she goes back to sleep. It's amazing!
• She has gotten to be a pickier eater, and like Grace, will sometimes love something and then not eat it again for awhile. Her favorite foods are breakfast bars or cereal for breakfast; the normal kid snacks of goldfish, cheesesticks, crackers, popcorn, fruit snacks, teddy grahams, etc; she loves PB&J and really loves chips at lunch; she will eat chicken nuggets, sausage, pasta, green beans, regular beans, chips and queso, tacos, quesadillas, some casseroles or ravioli if we are lucky, pizza, french fries, applesauce, bananas and that's about it. She is not a big fruit eater at all. She drinks water and milk and sometimes a drink of my unsweet tea! And she loves cookies! She likes sweets, as most kids do. 
• Her favorite things change quickly because she is a toddler, but mostly for awhile, she loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Muppet Babies, cooking in her play kitchen, her train and tracks, occasionally playing in the dollhouse, musical instruments (especially a harmonica!), and her books of the week and puzzles. 
• She will play baby dolls off and on. She likes to use Mickey or her kitties to change their diapers, carry them around, put them in the stroller or baby beds, cover them up, and kiss them. She will sometimes do this with her actual baby dolls too. 
• She LOVES pushing things or sitting herself in her baby buggy or stroller (even though she is too big for the baby doll stroller!).
• She loves to get games out and play them. They are usually the big kids games but she entertains herself or we make up how to play. 
• She sometimes likes to draw or color and gets on her tummy on the ground to get comfortable almost every single time. 
• Her favorite books change weekly, but this week they are her farm animal books like Big Red Barn, 10 little kisses, the farm book that pops, the Roly Poly Egg and any Paw Patrol/Mickey Mouse/or search and find book with characters she knows. She has also loved Llama Llama books in and pulls them out often. She is pretty good about changing it up.
• She loves music and will do the funniest thing where she walks over to the speaker box in our living room, pretend to turn a knob, tell me she "turned on the music" and starts dancing. She also loves music in the car and whatever we are currently into, she will request it and say "turn up". She has loved Sing, Moana, and Greatest Showman music these past few months.
• She also loves to sing nursery rhymes and lullabyes, especially if they have hand movements.
• She loves to go through all of her body parts for us to name them. She also loves shapes and colors right now. She gets most of her shapes right, but her colors, she never gets right. But, she will tell you all day long what color something is. She also can count and while she doesn't know what the numbers mean, she remembers the order lots of times and it's just cute. 
• Some of her phrases are "I like it!" and "I careful!" and "I okay!" and "I sleepy" and "I hungry" and "I need snack" and "I all clean!" and many others, but also she speaks in full sentences and can tell you what she wants all the time.
• Everly is funny because she is so confident. She thinks she is as big as the big kids and can do what they do. She loves all of the outside riding toys, the big swimming pool, all of their toys and activities, and is not shy at all or hesitant to try something. Yikes! We have to watch her. 
• She had been very tough to share with for awhile, but after learning what a spanking was, she has gotten better. We don't have to even spank her; just bring it up and she remembers. She was into hitting and taking things, and while she still will because she is 2, she is getting so much better with other little kids her age, which is nice because I hate to be on her constantly during a playdate when she is only 2 and still trying to understand. But, she is doing so much better with her friend Hannah, and I've been so proud of her!
• Everly, in some ways, because she is confident, can be a stinker when she gets mad. Her patience is slim, but again she is 2. And I've noticed so much difference lately. But, she is also SO sweet. She loves to play and imagine and talk and do cute, sweet things.
• Everly also loves me. And I'm not just tooting my own horn. She loves to play with me and wants to do so all day long. She asks me to come to the playroom or her room or read or play or do whatever and she is so happy to have me there. She also uses that imagination to play and that is the most fun thing to watch. She will get distracted and also play by herself at times and that is good, since she will have to do more of that when this baby gets here!
• She does get upset and get her feelings hurt though and will run to her room and shut the door. But, she usually comes out happy and distracted with playing in her room.
• She doesn't always love baths, until she is in it. She would just rather play instead of get into the bathtub.
• She loves a dance party, particularly on top of the big kids bed. Our rule is no jumping on the bed, but since she can't technically jump up to this point, she usually likes to be on the big kids bed during the music. I go back and forth with how good of an idea this is. Goodness!
• Everly is pretty calm until recently. She would observe mostly, but now she is just older and plays and has fun all the time. But, she also laughs hard and is loud and talks a lot! She also will whisper if she thinks she wants to ask for something she shouldn't have or whisper if she is playing a game where she should be quiet. 
• She also loves to accessorize! She loves necklaces and bracelets and hats and glasses. She will choose something, wear it solid for 2 days and then forget about it and then come back and do the same thing a week later. It's just cute because she doesn't think anything of it - it's like it's just an everyday addition to her outfit.
• Everly is just fun and I love her sweet little self so much! Oh and her hair is getting more blonde, but holding some reddish tones so maybe in the fall, it will darken a little bit again. She has curls at the end of the longest strands down the back and while she might need a little trim, I just can't stand to cut off those curls! 
• Oh we love this sweet girl!

Everly loves Figaro

Everly loves Mickey Mouse and the clubhouse gang. And recently, she has really loved Figaro as well. Grace first got Figaro back when she loved kitties. He's a good cat and I had to document Everly's love for him through this video:https://youtu.be/s6RUQfnwXPM

 

Someone loves chocolate chips and baking!

Everly is just like her siblings and loves to bake! But, this summer, she has especially started liking to mix and crack eggs and eat the batter! She also has this little plate that holds 6 slices of pie, all different colors. She will "bake" them over and over and carry them around and it's just the sweetest. On the day that Atticus, Grace and Vic went to the Astros game, we baked and baked (real and imaginary). I had to post these sweet photos and video! Video: https://youtu.be/EdGcUf52T7g

Painting Nails

On the day we got back from our girls weekend, Grace decided to paint her nails and play with makeup. So, Everly decided to paint my nails for me and herself. She doesn't like her hands to be messy so she didn't keep hers on long, but she was the cutest as she painted! Video: https://youtu.be/vnBUybYzNGM

She's the cutest!

Everly's Flowers

This month, Everly developed a love for flowers. She would say "fower" so sweet and when we would pass them on the road while driving (she was finally turned around in her carseat so she could see), she would shout "fowers" and "push button" in her little words because she wanted me to roll down the window so she could see them. This was around when wildflowers were everywhere, so she just loved them. She would get so excited to pick those little yellow flowers that most people call weeds. We spent an entire ballet class one day picking flowers and then one day, after I dropped Grace off at preschool, we stopped in the big field in front of the church, where they hadn't mowed yet, to look at the flowers. It was THE sweetest 20 minutes of following her around to see her excitement over the flowers and pick them and instruct me to pick them. Oh it was just he best! Here are some photos from that day!

So many flowers to take home!

Everly's 2nd Birthday - Mickey Mouse Style

Everly turned 2 this year on Saturday, April 14th. Saturday is always a great day for a birthday! We did not do a big party, other than our family and GG, and it was a good day. Vic took Atticus to the Maroon & White game that day, and then picked up Blue Baker for dinner for us all and then we celebrated Everly with cake and presents. See below!

We started the day with donuts and candles, because yum! Everly was really into the candle and even leaned forward during us singing, that she singed a tiny piece of her hair! I laughed (it was tiny), but Vic was very concerned. haha!

 Just too many to eat at once!

 We spent the morning playing and accessorizing.

 We played with the clubhouse gang!

 Daddy brought home our favorite thing...birthday balloons! And one had Mickey Mouse on it!

 Then something happened and we cried, "because it's my party and I'll cry if I want to."

 We had a Mickey Mouse shaped sandwich for lunch. 

As with most of the kids cakes, I like to find something creative on Pinterest that goes with my theme; well, I found a couple of things, but they just weren't going to pan out. So, We did a multi layer, multi colored chocolate cake with characters on top. You can never go wrong with just adding some characters on top! And while it turned out VERY yellow, I thought it matched Everly's love for the Clubhouse friends perfectly! And she REALLY loved it! Although here is a hint: if you are going to put M&M's on a cake, do not do it until the day of your event. While it worked great because that is what I did on this day, by the next day, the M&M's had lost their color and were pale and didn't look good. They tasted fine, but something happened to make them look more pink/gray than red!

 And when Everly saw it, she loved it. And she really needed some of those M&M's that were on that cake, of course.

 This smile of Everly's - I love when little kids learn to smile - she does it with all of her might and her eyebrows raise up and it's such a crazy smile!

 More smiles!

 Daddy & Atticus got home from the game and gave lots of birthday hugs because it was party time!

First, we ate dinner.

 

We tried to get pictures with our sweet girl before we sang Happy Birthday to her. And then it was time to sing and cut cake!

 

 Just give me some icing, mom!

She needed to hold her balloons for this entire event!

So, this is where she got even cuter! We sang Happy Birthday to her and she blew out the candles, but she was too fast. So, we did it a few times. Here is a cute video of the event! 

https://youtu.be/vu-t7hqEb5c

And then we ate cake! This girls loves some birthday cake!

 

Then, it was time to open presents. The thing about Everly and presents is that when she opens one, she wants to just have it and play and doesn't exactly understand yet that she can open more! So, she got this farm puzzle above and was perfectly content with just that gift. However, as the gifts kept coming, she realized they were all great! 

 A giant mickey mouse? Hooray! The funnier thing is that even though he sleeps in her bed every night, she really only wants her little Mickey!

And then she opened a big gift from GG from that big box...her very own tricyle! She was so excited! She loves the kids scooters and trikes outside and is pretty coordinated, so to get her own was so much fun! Then, she even got her own helmet. Oh she was too cute!

 GG also gave her new shoes and I love this photo of Everly putting her little foot out for Grace to put her shoe on. It reminds me of Cinderella!

And away she goes! What a great birthday for our sweet 2 year old! Oh and the last funny thing is how she reacted the ENTIRE time she was opening presents. It's like she just couldn't believe what was happening and kept saying a phrase that sounded like "ooh gosh!" (which we don't allow the kids to say, but we couldn't decide if she was saying that or something else). I barely got it on video, but we laughed about it all night long.
