Aidan's Birthday Party!

We held a birthday party for Aidan today, and it couldn't have been a better day.

The day began at the park for a little playtime with all the kids.

Then we came back to the house to destroy the living room.

Then, it was time for cake!

Then, after we got all cleaned up, it was time to open presents.

We had a great time, and we thank everyone for coming and joining us on this special day!

Hope to see you all again soon.

Big Shoes

These actually fit.  

But I can't walk in them

Trip to SLO TOWN

It started out normal, like any other car ride, just like a car ride to the store. But once we exited at Crows Landing Road, things started to look different, not familiarly different, but oddly different.  Like we were going somewhere.........somewhere different.  But where, where were we wandering to?

But then we saw a bear drinking from a fountain and then things started to improve.  Why was this bear here and why couldn't I also drink from the fountain?  There were so many questions that needed answering.  Why am I wearing this hood on my head when it is 70 degrees out, do my parents dislike me, does my Bill Murray hair, during the bowling scene of Kingpin, make them embarrassed?  What I am pointing at.......?

Then, there was more pointing, and more pointing.......what could it be this time?

Birds.......birds everywhere.......holy crap.....and what is up with my pants, are there floods expected?  Am I planning on digging for clams?  Who would do this to me?  What if the ladies see this picture?

Oh, and there was a big rock, can you see it?  

Tooth #5

Aidan's tooth #5 snuck in today.  It is the tooth next to his top middle teeth, on the right side.  The left side tooth will be next!

Aidan likes to crunch on things with his teeths, especially Cheerios and Kix!

Family Photos

We went and took family photos on Saturday and they came out with just the right amount of cheesiness we think.  Aidan actually might of cracked a smile this time.  

Aidan Goes Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma....

Best Toys EVER!

So here's what our living room looks like on a typical day.  Strewn with toys.  It's a kaleidoscope of colors!  So much for Aidan to see and do (the yoga mat is perfect for pushing cars around)!

So what does Aidan like to play with?

A spoon and an empty bottle of Coffeemate.

Aidan's First Word

We've discovered that Aidan's first word (besides babbling Mamama and Dadada) is "Kitty."  It sounds more like Keeey, but we know what he's talking about!  Aidan absolutely loves the kitty!

Aidan points at EVERYTHING now.  Usually I have no idea what it is, so I just start naming objects that are in the general direction of his point.  "Tree!  Car! Park! Lights! Toys!"

We love to go to the park, now that the weather is so nice.

Funny

Funny how I just posted that Aidan hasn't stood up on his own from a sitting position, and not even ten minutes later he does it.  And Ben and I both got to witness it!

What an amazing boy!
