The past few months

The past few months have flown by in about 10 minutes, or so it seems. Life has gotten crazier since we moved back to Sacramento, and we are busy bees!

Aidan is now 2 years and 4 months old, and can do just about anything he wants to (and everything he's not supposed to!) Just this morning, Ben discovered Aidan in our pantry eating chocolate chips off the floor. He dropped an open bag, and they spilled everywhere. He's a sneaky guy - he closed the door so we wouldn't know what he was up to! Ben walked in and Aidan said, "Look at this great big mess!" So Ben cleaned up the choc chips and threw them in the trash can. I later discovered Aidan eating the chocolate chips out of the trash can (they were in the chocolate chip bag, but still). I guess he really, really, really wanted some chocolate! At least he was polite and offered me some.

Now that he's two, Aidan can run, jump, climb anything, figure out how to open stuff, turn on the xbox and put a dvd in, push the dining room chairs around to get to high places, open doors, and generally be very helpful. He can say any word you throw at him, and he has a very good memory. It's fun to have a full-on conversation with him. I ask him what he wants to do, what he wants for dinner, or where he wants to go and he will give me an answer. It's pretty amazing communicating with such a little person!

Here are some of the latest photos.

Say "cheese!"

Having a little fun in the mud!

Hard at work with the new wheelbarrow.

Always outside, always busy.
