WALKING!

Last night, Aiden started walking! He consistently was taking about 10 steps at a time, all by himself. I got some footage on the video camera and will post soon.

Ask Aiden

He's ALL boy

He likes to climb things, he likes to bang on things, and he likes to throw things.

I had blocked him in the living room on Saturday while we were installing the TV and speakers. He was apparently concerned that no one was paying attention to him. He started by yelling at us over the baby fence. No success. He then grabbed his wooden balls, proceeded to climb on his chair, and then started banging on the wall. Once he got mine, and everyone else's attention, he decided he was done. Mission accomplished.

Cheerios.

Bad Blogger.

I am ashamed at my lack of blog posts as of late. I'd like to be able to present you with some glorious reason as to why my blog posts have all but dwindled away, but there's really no good excuse other than I've been busy. I've been at home, at work, at home, back at work, home, work, and then home again. B-O-R-I-N-G.

However, there is some excitement on the horizon. Jeff and Brian will be hanging the flat screen on the wall this weekend as well mounting of all the speakers. I have anxiety just thinking about the two of them cutting and drilling holes into the dry wall. I think I will make myself scarce for this event.

I have also been planning Aiden's birthday festivities that are occurring in 22 days! UGH...I'm not ready for a toddler. Not because of the work, but because I am still in denial that he is growing up. Still working on this.

Oh and we found Aiden's Halloween costume and taught him how to make the noise that needed to accompany it. Just wait for it.

So, see, there's lots that I can post about, I'm just too darn lazy to post about it right now. I mean, busy.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I promise next week will be more exciting.

ELEVEN MONTHS

So this should be a fairly simple task. Just get ONE picture of him looking at the camera and smiling. No, not in Aiden's world. As you can see he's WAY too busy to be bothered. These are the best pictures that I could get last night. These are 15 out of an attempted 100 or so. He is so curious about everything. Especially if he see's either Jeff or I with it. He is obsessed with Jeff's phone, and insists on chewing on my purse.


"See ya Pig."

"Ok that was long enough."

"I said enough."






"This is fine with you, right?"

"Here's your picture."


"Did you just say no? I'm sorry, I'm not sure what that means."

"Ha! Got his phone."

"Hello?"

Vintage Aiden

I just came to terms with the fact I have to start planning Aiden's first birthday. (I know, I just had a heart palpitation too). I have no idea what I am doing. All I do know is that there will be Sponge Bob and cake. Maybe I am still in a little bit of denial. I will work on this......stay tuned.

First Words

Mama or Mom
Dada or Dad
(these he has said for a month or two)

* When he hears the garage door open, he books it down the hall and says, "Dad...Dad".

New word: Ball

*There is no mistaking this one. When we hold up the ball and say "What's this?" He tells us.


This picture is so funny to me. Jeff took it the other night with his cell phone. Spitting image of his dad.
