So a couple weeks ago we went to Black Island Farms. It's a corn maze, but they also have animals, a corn pit, some play areas, and awesome slides. Jaden loved the slides. We didn't get to do much of the maze because its bumpy and I didn't want to deal with a stroller because of that, but Jaden had a tough time walking on it! He probably fell more than 20 times :/ But he loved being able to walk in the open field! And as always Jer loved taking a million pictures!
(in the bottom left picture I told him to put his hands up...and he did!)
The week after we went to a Halloween party. Jer wanted to do a zipper face. If you've never seen it they look like this:
Well when I saw it the first time I thought it was cool, but after looking at other pictures I realized it was gross...haha. So he decided he was going to do it with a clown face on the outside part. He started to get ready about an hour before the party, but it took longer than we thought it would! It took 45 minutes to put on the zipper, so we kinda had to rush to put on the makeup, and it ended up just looking okay. Also, we bought a clown makeup kit that came with white cream and colored crayons and the crayons didn't work on the cream! So we ended up just using my eyeliner(which after using a makeup remover wipe AND washing his face, he still had a little under his eyes...)

And then of course a couple of days later was Halloween! We were going to the trunk-or-treat at church so we dressed up again :) This time I told Jer to start getting ready an hour and a half earlier, and of course this time he knew what he was doing so it took him like 20-30 minutes to put on the zipper...so we had plenty of time to do his clown makeup! And better colored makeup! We went and handed out candy, and then took Jaden to a couple of cars. We told him to say thank-you(which he signs, but he does it like he's blowing kisses) and pretty much no one knew he was saying it...haha. But we knew :)
Just a little update about Jaden. He says a good amount of words. Here's a list:
mama
dada
uh-oh
wow (a favorite of his)
woah
ew
stinky
cheese
yay
hi
And when we tell him to he says ta-da, meow and trick or treat. And just recently I love you! although it sounds like Ilo-ooo. I'm pretty sure I missed a couple of them...I just cant remember. Jer taught him ew and stinky by smelling his feet and saying it. So now if you tell him to smell his feet he will and say it! He does patty cake and does all the actions for "If Your Happy and You Know It" although for hooray he just says YAY! But he loves to do it :) He knows please, thank-you, more, all done, and eat in sign language, but lately he just does eat when we ask him to say more. And thanks to Grandma Keplinger he will blow kisses! We skyped with them and she started to blow kisses to him and he did it back! He loves to dance to "Hot Dog" from The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He loves animals. Everyone he sees he either growls or does a high pitched dog bark. And he has all his teeth except his 2 year molars!! He's just a happy, healthy growing boy. We have his 15 months checkup on Monday(I know it's way late, but I kept forgetting to call) so I'll update with weigh and height then. Here's some more pictures of him just because he's so cute and we can't help taking pics of him :)
