The Stevens Family

Alright, so I used to know a lot about computers and the internet and whatnot. I used to even be able to write html code some! But, since mommyhood, my skills have gone downhill. Basically, what I'm trying to get at is, if you see lots of wierdness and stuff constantly being rearranged on this page, its just because I'm trying to relearn some stuff. :)

We FINALLY have an official moving date! Hooray! We're moving on Saturday, December 2nd. It's not very far away, and we have a LOT to do still...but the date is set in stone.

We're all very excited to get in there...Jayden throws a tantrum every time we leave that house, so I think he'll take the move just fine. :)

We've been having such a good time playing in the fall leaves, I thought I'd post a few more pictures! Jayden loves stomping on the dry leaves, and will go out of his way to do so! Its super cute, and a great excuse for Josh and I to take advantage of the big leaf piles too (its already nice enough to finally have an excuse for the TV being turned to Cartoon Network all of the time). So there are more pictures down below.

I thought it might also be nice to post a few of Jayden's more recent "tricks."

He can walk very well, and often breaks out in a bit of run.
He's a great climber, and can pretty much get on top of anything he can reach.
He's been walking up and down stairs when he gets the chance. He'll either hold on to the railing or any available set of hands.
He gives hugs, and he gives and blows great kisses, always with a big "Muuaaahhhh"
He can shake his head yes and no, which makes things surprisingly easier.
He pretty much understand anything you tell him anymore, whether he chooses to listen or not is hard part.

This is his vocabulary, as his momma, I understand it better than most. :)
Baby (usually if he sees a picture of himself)
No
Momma
Dada
Bye Bye
Uh oh
Wow
Car
Tire
Truck
Hot
Num num - for all food
Burrrr - for anything cold
He now says "Choo Choo" for train and if you ask him what Gizmo (our kitty) says he says "moww" now.
A few he tries to say are
Door - "Doaa"
Bath - "Baa"
Diaper - "Di ber"

Jayden and Taylor making a run for it.
Taylor trying out the leaf pile!

I call this one "Blue Steal."

I think this would be his "Pennock" side coming out...

I shall call him Squishy!
