James & Everett

On Saturday, Matthew, James, & I drove down to Chicago to see my friends Sterling and Stephanie, and to meet their son Everett, who is exactly one day older than James.  Isn't he a cutie?

Everett had an extra Bumpo chair that he kindly gave to James.  Being the confident man that he is, James didn't mind so much that it was purple.    

 

We thought it might be cute to pose the boys with Elmo, but James thought otherwise and promptly gave him a smack to the head.  Look at that mischievous grin on my boy, while Everett looks on sadly.

 

The boys hit it off, and were soon in deep conversation about their mutual love for milk and Bumpo chairs.

Everett, who is possibly the best sleeper ever (the boy started sleeping through the night at 2 months!  I'm talking 9-11 hours at a single go.  Matthew and I are just a little jealous.), went down for a nap, so James hung out in his chair alone while the adults enjoyed some yummy Korean tacos and Vietnamese sandwiches.

 

After lunch, James peed through his diaper, dinosaur onesie, and onto my leg.  Hence the outfit change.  After Everett's nap the boys hung out with their Daddies for a little bit.

 

And James, who couldn't keep his eyes off of Stephanie, got to chill with her for a little bit.

 

The little guys spent some time on their tummies together and finished their conversation.

By the end of it, they were best buds

So much so, that they decided to hold hands (they were a little shy about it)

 

And now for a few shots of Mr. Everett & his parents:

 

Sterling, Matthew, James and I went out for a little walk, and came across the "Petal Pub."  How cool is this? A bar on a bicycle!

On the way back to Wisconsin, we decided to make a detour and went to the Drive-In to see the Harry Potter movie.  Matthew & I are huge fans, and weren't sure if we'd get to see the last movie of the series in theaters with the little guy in tow.  Aside from crying during a pivotal scene towards the end, James did really well at his first trip to the Drive-In.
