We've been busy lately...between Mom and Dad pulling long hours at the office and getting ready for Christmas, there hasn't been much room for downtime. 

I put new pictures up on Flickr.  Some are from the weekend we spent in Tampa with Leann and Vanessa.  The primary purpose was to make more candy than we could ever give away, but Steven also enjoyed time at a local playground and most especially running after the dogs and watching the horses.  He has no fear of them (unlike his mom).

The next set is a variety from one night of Andrew and Steven goofing around, one night of babysitting Ashley Butler (despite her runny nose, she was all smiles).  Steven enjoyed sharing his trains with her. Also some shots of steven at the new kitchen table. He has outgrown his high chair and loves sitting at the table like a big boy.  I guess getting rid of the crib is next (and that darn pacifier...I just can't seem to get my nerve up to take it away).

Finally photos from Christmas.  Steven got spoiled with WAY too many toys...Andrew and I are thinking seriously about moving now as we are quickly running out of storage space.  Steven may be claiming our room next. :)  He loved every minute of Christmas and quickly got the hang of ripping open the presents.  He was such a good boy, despite the long days, late bedtimes and refusal to take a nap on Christmas Day.

Now it's on to his second birthday. I really can't believe it's here already.  Who knew two years could go so quickly.  He'll be having a train themed birthday, of course...
