Delicious Apple Cake
Mama made some delicious apple cake the other day, which we enjoyed very much. It's mostly apples with some breading that comes from a recipe of Grandma's I think. She used some huge sweet/tart green apples we got from Food City.

Bread Dough
"One of the things that I love most about making homemade bread is kneading it, because it always gets my fingernails nice and clean."

Stephen Says
Right now Stephen can understand a lot of speech but not vocalize much. He uses a couple of signs that we taught him mixed with a couple of simple words.
Dah! (With hand gesture down, to get down from the highchair, crib, or other place).
Papa! (Papapapapapapa). Used for Papa and sometimes Mama.
Fffff! Ffffff! (Blowing sound with hand waving by face, to say something is hot. He came up with the hand wave himself). This means something is hot, such as food or his carseat.
Ba! Perhaps Stephen's first and favorite word, means "ball". This also includes anything else circular or spherical, including peas, blueberries, balloons, apples, and etc.
Aaaaaaa! (Followed by pointing, nodding, and moving eyebrows.) May I have that, please?
Nahnahnahnahnah! (Often accompanied by vigorous head shaking). No no no no no no no!
Yayayaayaya. (With hand over ear). Pretend talking on cellphone.
Wawa/awa. Water.
Signs:
"Please" (Wipes hand across chest).
"More" (Touches fingertips together).
"Water" (Three fingers on chin).

Sarah on Nursing
Recently when offered milk, Sarah refused it for the first time.
Papa: Sarah why don't you want the milk?
Sarah: I'm big. I'm so big! I'm not little. I'm big!
Later she confirmed to Mama: It's no good. I no like it.
