Peekaboo!

Can you catch what Nathan is saying?  Sounds like "bo bo"  It was too funny... A spontaneous outburst of peekaboo!

Jammies

Do you like my jammies?

They are so comfy and warm.  I'm a little penguin!

We are experiencing some winter weather.  Friday schools were out early because of the chance of ice and many things are cancelled for the weekend.  We spent most of our day in the house.  How about you?

Nathan's been trying to say snowman... Will we see one? :)

A Gift in the Mail

We were getting dinner ready last night and heard a knock on the door.  There was a package for Nathan!  He got a super cool shirt (on the left), the book he's reading, and stickers!  In fact, he went to bed with 5 stickers on his shirt.  Thanks, Nana & Papa!

I want that one!

Nathan's favorite thing to do is visit the pet store.  There are two that we go to and he loves looking at all the animals.  We got this flyer from one of the pet stores and Nathan was sooooo excited!  He pointed to all the animals and made lots of barks for the doggies.

He is talking so much now and really gets frustrated that we don't know what he's saying.  He is responding to simple directions better and is trying to be helpful.

Two for Tuesday

I'm Going to Get You!  Nathan and Daddy have been perfecting their "get you" moves.  It's pretty funny.  Thankfully, I'm usually not gotten! :)

Flashback...  1 year ago.. Showing off his wolf sweatshirt.

Nathan is adding to his vocabulary.  Recent new words include: football, more, done, mine.  In fact, he's named his paci Mine! :)

Christmas Tree

So, it's a big deal in the Stevens' household... For only the 2nd time since we've been married, we put up a tree!!!!!  Yes, it's sad and you're right, there's something wrong with us, but we did it this year!

My mom found us a tree last year for a very cheap price ($2 or $3).  I had several items that we had never opened before, but that's okay!  We laid out the tree skirt and put on the lights.  Then it was time for Nathan to get up from his nap.  He was just in awe. I started sorting through the ornaments and found 5 (yes, really!) First Christmas 2003 ornaments!!!  Too funny!

Oreo found her spot right off!

Hurray!  Nathan thinks that it's great.  He's pulled a few of the balls off, but we were smart and didn't put any breakable ones at the bottom.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Fun with Leaves

Since we were home over Thanksgiving, we decided that there were a few things around the house that needed to be done.  That's why we got the plastic on the windows too.  So, Saturday, we thought we'd get the last of the leaves taken care of.  [We also did some more work later on in the day, but that's another post!]

This time, Nathan came outside (remember when we did this a few weeks ago, he just stood inside looking out the back door).

Ohhh... Oh!  The leaves!

Okay, I think I can help...

Yep, I can do it.  Let me at that rake, Daddy!

I'm wiped.  You mean there's still more in the front yard?!

We got most of the backyard done before nap time and then Barry & I finished it up.  There weren't as many leaves as before, but it seemed to take much longer.  Maybe we were just tired of doing it!  Nathan did try and use the rake a few times, but by the time I would get the camera out of my pocket, he would be done.  Hurray that we're done with leaves!  

(Shhh... I know, there's really more that have fallen again, but I think these few will stay there through the winter!)
