Everett's Birthday at Jump On In


Stephen and I went to Everett's 2nd birthday at Jump On In on Saturday.  Stephen had to work so sadly he missed it.  Jump On In is a place that has rooms full of different bounce houses.  It was a great party and Stephen had so much fun!

We stopped by Toys R Us on the way to get Everett a present and we walked down the toy isle for Stephen's age.  He saw these balls and went crazy.  Once I gave them to him, he would not let them go.  I would show him other toys and he would literally grip onto these and say "ball".  This boy seriously loves his balls!!!  And he really does love these.  He will dig through his toy basket to find these specific balls.

I didn't know if he would like the bounce houses or not.  Elena was already in so she took him just to see if he would even like it before I got in.  He LOVED it!!  So I got in with him.

He just wanted to take off, but there were some big kids in there so I had to follow him around and make sure he didn't get in the way.

After a while in the first room, we all moved to the second room that was a lot better.  He loved this room.

And he found a ball to play with so that was good.

I didn't get a picture inside of this bouncy, but it had a basketball goal and lots of balls.  He spotted it from across the room and zipped on over and climbed up.

He just stood there watching the kids play and kept saying "ball".  Poor guy wanted to be in on the action so bad!

This bouncy was really fun!  It had a raised foam pad in the middle that he went straight to and climbed up on.  Most of the time we were in here it was other little kids, so he got to play a little more in this one.  But then some bigger kids came and one did a flip over Stephen, so we decided to get out!

Stephen had such a good time and I loved watching him!

After the party, we went and met my parents for dinner.  It was great to see them!

When we got home we packed like crazy because we were leaving for Palestine on Sunday morning.

Laughing videos and pictures from the week


Wow, that was a lame title, but I couldn't think of anything else!

I have two very cute videos of Stephen laughing.

I have no clue why I was doing this, but he was laughing so I kept doing it- haha!!



I waved my hand in front of Stephen to get Sadie's attention and he started cracking up. He was laughing so much every time I did it. By the time I got the camera out, he had kind of stopped, but it's still cute.



And here are some pictures from our week.

As he starts walking more, we are having more collisions.  This was probably the worst yet and happened with the window sill.  Poor baby!  But thankfully the next morning, you couldn't even tell!

Friday night, Stephen and I went out to celebrate a friends birthday so Annette came over the watch Stephen.  I snapped a few pictures before I left.

Shoes


Last week, we decided to get Stephen some shoes.  So we headed to Stride Rite and $40 later we have a pair of shoes that should fit him for 2 months.  Awesome!!!

Stephen is just dying for Stephen to be walking full time and he thinks he walks better with his shoes.  So Sunday we put them on him even though we were just hanging out at home.  I followed him around taking pictures.

He loves holding onto the railing on the stairs, but he can also climb up on the step and then he tries to sit down, so we don't let him hold onto the gate.

Looking to see if I'm still watching.  Little stinker!

He ventured into the kitchen.  He loves looking at himself in the oven.

I think it's about time to put on those knob covers!

One day he is going to figure out those cabinet locks!

He was waving.

Later that afternoon, Stephen took him up to the game room to play and I got some stuff down downstairs.  He could hear me and kept coming to the railing to see me.  It was cute!

When I had been out running errands Saturday, Yankee Candle was having a huge sale so I got a few candles!  I love Storm Watch and it is one that Stephen also likes so I picked a few up.  It is a nice, fresh scent!
