8 Months Old

This last month, Everett’s two top teeth came through, he has only been motivated to start creeping/crawling by lucky charm marshmallows... And he has toppled onto his head more times that I can count, so he’s sporting a bruise on his forehead in these pictures.

Everett and I are flying out to Oklahoma in the morning to be in my friend's wedding!

I was in a tizzy to get everything done, but when Tyrel came home I realized that I had a little time to slow down. So I joined him outside while he was unloading cinderblocks for his next project. I immediately ran back inside to get my camera because the leaves were a perfect combination of "still on the tree and on the ground without being crunchy". :)

My favorite fall view is right here at our house. 😍

 His latest fun thing in his room is his crib ;)

I save my chicken chores to help give Everett a "reset" when he is upset.

And if he is having a good day, then it's just an extra treat for him to sit by their pen and watch them run around. 😄

We've had random Sunday's when we haven't been able to have church. So this Sunday, we followed along while the guys were setting up a tree stand for hunting. :)

I love routines, lists, etc. 

My life has been nothing like that lately. So I've been trying to include taking walks back into our daily routine. It seems like a trip or having company gets me out of habit of walking and it takes me two weeks to get back into it again! 🤪 So here I am trying again. 🤓

Today was Saturday. When I was growing up Saturday's always had such a good "free" feeling. (After we got our Saturday cleaning done of course.) 

Even though Tyrel works most Saturday's, I still subconsciously hold onto "Saturday feeling", and I always relax a little more.

So today, we took a little break from the walk to hang out by a barn close to the path. 

It was brisk, but the sunshine was warm.

I laid down and let the sun hit my face.

Dog and baby were close by, happily doing their thing.

I relaxed and almost dozed.

But then I heard something...

Something that felt invasive, though I didn't know what it was.

Then I recognized the buzzing and immediately sat up.

Staring at the drone in the sky that was hovering directly above us.

I stared it down with a true mother's death glare until it suddenly zoomed away with rapid speed. 😂

Then I thought about it the rest of the day, wondering who was on the other side of the drone's controls. 😆

I’ve taken thousands of pictures of Everett in his short 7.5 months here with us... but not as many on my Canon as I would like. So until I get more creative, I’m just going to leave my camera in his nursery to use in quiet moments of play. ☺️

 I love the position of the windows in Rhett’s nursery for morning and evening shots in there. The contrast of the light streaming in a dim room always gets me!

This morning Rhett was just so happy in comparison to the way the last month and a half has been. His top two teeth have been coming in joining his bottom two... and he happily ground them together, making me cringe. 😬
