Partay!!!!

Today was Godfather Uncle Travis' (who we will call GUT) girlfriend Lauren's birthday, so I got to go to dinner with everyone!!! I like staying up past bedtime but once it gets too far past and I don't get to go to sleep I tend to have a melt down. But more on that later. It was fun hanging out with the big people. There was this cold round thing that I was determined to put in my mouth. It felt good on my gums...which by the way are very sore...I hope that these darn teeth pop through any day now. I did finally get to go to sleep at about 11pm!!! But boy did I have fun until I did. (Mommy was the MAMArazzi because Daddy forgot his camera...can you BELIEVE that???!!!)

Godfather Uncle Travis and Lauren

I have my eye on something to get later...I see you round white thing!!

Almost go it....

Success!!!!


Mommy, you look like you need a nap...

This is Daddy's attempt at putting me to sleep...I wanted to PLAY!!!

Now I am trying to get this white stuff that is covering the table...it makes a funny noise!!

Happy Birthday!!!! (Yes that is Aunt Stick in the top corner)

What is up next you ask? Super Bowl is Sunday so Granna, Pop-Pop, GUT and Lauren are coming over to watch some Football!!! Then Mommy is going out of town for one night next weekend...so I guess I will be staying with Daddy all by myself (this should be interesting...he he he). THEN Valentine's Day weekend Lubby is coming to see me!!! YAY!!!! Mommy and I went and did something special for Daddy, my grandparents, great grandparents, godparents and aunties...but they wont find out what it is for a week or so...but they should be VERY excited!!!! So until next time....

5 Months

Aiden,

Today marks your 5th month in this world and now that you are here I don't know what my life was like without you. Even though Mommy is not a morning person, having you wake me up with that gorgeous smile on your face makes the sleep deprivation all worth while. And when you wake up at 5am to get your diaper changed and you smile and want to play with Mommy, I don't mind that I only have one eye open. I can not put a value on how I feel when I walk into the room and you smile so big because you recognize that it is your Mommy...and now you even reach out for me!!!! I just can't put into words how that makes me feel.

You are such a big boy to be 5 months old. Today you showed Mommy how you can finally sit upright all by yourself. I thought that I was going to cry!!!! And now that you have mastered rolling over we can't keep up...you just roll and roll and roll. The good part is now you don't hate to be on your tummy as much, so I hope that means that you will crawl soon.

I do enjoy very much your determination and focus. Once you set your mind on doing something, you go at it until you have done it...it is so brilliant to watch. But, I am afraid that you are growing up too fast. I was looking through the oodles of clothes that you have grown out of and put side by side your first pair of jeans to the ones you wear today...WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! It breaks my heart to know that soon you won't want to lay on Mommy or enjoy all of my silly faces or not want me to give you all the kisses that I smother you with...because you will be a big boy. But Aiden my love, you will always be Mommy's baby.

I love you as deep as the sea and high as the sky,

Mommy

Teething Bites!!!!

Everything within reach, Aiden puts in his mouth.

And we do mean EVERYTHING!!!

Lenox Mall

So Saturday was the first time that I went to the mall with BOTH Mommy and Daddy. Mommy and I are always at this mall but it was fun having Daddy there too. The best part was that I got to sit in my stroller like a big boy. Normally Mommy has me in that car seat thing that I cant move in nor see what is going on, or she has me in the carrier. The carrier is cool because I can see, but then I cant move. So I LOVED being in the stroller looking out at what was going on...AND that black thing in front of me served as a great chewy for these throbbing gums.

"Daddy hold on...that's not my good side"

"OK now I'm ready...take the picture."


"What is holding me back!?!?!?! Release me!"

"heyyy... this is fun....I love people watching!!"

"Yea...I'm my Mommy's body guard....Act like you know!"

"I BLEW UP my diaper while daddy was in the fitting room...ha ha"

"I recently discovered that I can blow bubbles
with this CONTINUOUS supply of drool.
(Check out my fresh new shoes...
I'm like daddy..I wear my new shoes out the store.)"

Godfather Uncle Travis

My Godfather Uncle Travis got in town last night with his really nice girlfriend Lauren and her Mom. I waited up to see them, but it was way past my bedtime so I didn't get to jump on Godfather Uncle Travis like I normally do. Not to long after he took me from Daddy I was knocked out...oh well...guess I will hang with him later today.

Supa Dupa Fly!!!!

Mommy and I were on our way to see Granna and of course Daddy could not help but capture my flyness. Do you like how my Polo compliments my new shoes? I put up with Mommy kissing me all the time because she dresses me so nice...seems like a fair trade to me!!

Man these shoes feel nice!!! What is this velvet?

Hey doggie...don't get too close, I don't want you to slobber on me before I see my Granna.

This CAN'T be normal!!!!

This is Mommy speaking and Aiden is WAY to big to be a week shy of 5 months!!! Over the holidays Lubby bought Aiden a couple zip up jammies (my favorites) in 12 month size. I bought him 6-9 month jammies a week before Christmas and he is ALREADY too long and his feet are too big for them!!! So I decided today to let him wear the jammies that Lubby bought him...needless to say they fit him perfectly!!! I can't take it!!!

I also bought his convertible car seat today because his is just about too long for his infant car seat that should have lasted to 12 months!!! I wish I knew that Aiden was going to be a giant...I could have used the money spent on the infant car seat somewhere else. The convertible seat I got is the Radian 65...it goes up to 65lbs and is the only seat that is both FAA approved and has a steel frame. So hopefully this one will last a little longer.

I am also happy to report that Aiden loves Mommy's home made applesauce...and kinda likes carrots. He likes the carrots better when mixed with applesauce. He also has experienced bananas and brown rice cereal...not to keen to either but will accept the cereal in bottle form. Aiden's pediatrician got my hopes up buy telling me that when he gets cereal at night he should sleep through the night...um that would not be the case. Even if Aiden gets 6oz of cereal milk he still wakes up 4 hours later to eat again!!!! One day Mommy will get a full nights rest again...just not a day in the foreseeable future.

Aiden is feeling much better...he got over his stomach bug this past weekend and I never thought I would be so happy to see solid poop. Oh the life of a Mommy...so very glamorous!!!

What is up next you ask? Nothing much...lol...Mommy and Daddy are going on a date Saturday and Granna is coming over to babysit. But other than that this week is pretty slow...lol.

A few Firsts!!!!

(Aiden is like what the hey...I never have this much stuff on!!!!)

Aiden and I (Mommy) just got back from out trip to Minnesota last night. Aiden did fabulously on his first plane ride. He slept most of the time but woke up at the end. He was quite fascinated with looking out of the window. The landing took him by surprise but all in all he did great on the flight. As soon as we walked off the plane I realized how darn cold it is in Minnesota in the winter. And Aiden was taken by surprise...it was funny.

We had a great time seeing my brother, cousins, my Godfather Keith, and of course Auntie Talia and Garyson!!!! On Friday afternoon we took the boys to take pictures together since they will grow up as best friends as we did. they turned out FABULOUSLY. At first we were not going to be in the pictures with them but of course we ended up doing so, and boy we were glad that we did because we both got some great pictures with our little men!!! You can see the pictures by going to www.flashportraits.com. At the top right click on "My Portraits"...the last name is Trent (natalia trent) and the password is love. Grandparents and God Parents be on the look out for a special treat in the mail this week.





We had fun with cutie Garyson...he has 4 teeth!!! And they are so darn cute when he smiles and you can see them.

(Right after bath time...how adorable!!!)

(On our way to My Godfathers house for dinner...look at the snow on the porch!!!)

So in addition to Aidens first plane ride and first trip to Minnesota, on Saturday he came down with his first sickness...a stomach flu. UGH!!!!! He had fluid coming out both ends!!! He was sleeping a lot and spitting up anything that we put in his system...oh and he didn't like the pedialyte at first. He is feeling a little better now but now has a cough and still not taking milk without spitting it up. Poor baby. We took him to the doctor today but they didn't tell us anything that I was not doing already but better safe than sorry. But what they DID tell us is that Aiden weighs 17lbs 6 oz!!! What the heck...and I am sure that he has lost some weight!!!

So we wont be taking him out of the house for a couple days so he can get better. I just hope that I don't get sick because Mommy cant afford to do that. What is up next you ask...lol...we are going to my Soror Teia's baby shower this weekend...it should be fun.

Here is a picture of Aiden when we were waiting to board the plane to Minnesota. He was in great spirits and was a very good boy on the plane...everyone was very impressed.

How cute is he!!!!

Milestone!!!!

Yesterday Aiden and I hung out over Cousin Rick and Adrienne's house. the day started out with a New Year's breakfast that was yummy!!! It was Daddy, Uncle Travis, Lauren, Uncle Travis' friend Fred, his girlfriend TK and Myself. Then we all vegged out and took a nap...well everyone but me!!! Then everyone left except Aiden and myself because he was sleeping so well that I didn't want to wake him up and besides...I had nothing else better to do. So we hung out ALL day. Aiden LOVES Cousin Rick...they were watching the Floetry Live concert and Aiden fell asleep in his lap...it was too cute.

Cousin Adrienne and Rick watched Aiden for me so I could go to Babies R Us to get his Excersaucer. Of course I ended up buying a bunch of stuff that I convinced myself I needed. Plus some of the stuff I need for Teia's baby shower gift. Anywhoo when I got back I somehow convinced Cousin Rick to help me put the Excersaucer together...well more like he put it together. I mean he need the practice...they are expecting a little boy I have nicknamed "Deuce" in May.

While Rick was putting it together I was on the floor playing with Aiden when I noticed how determined he was to try and roll over. So I watched in anticipation because I just knew that he was going to do it...and after about 3 minutes of trying he finally did it!!! Aiden rolled over from his back to his stomach!!! Then he got tired of being on his stomach (which is nothing new because he hates tummy time) and rolled back over onto his back. I was so excited, but mad that I didn't get a picture of it...lol. Oh well.

All in all it was a nice relaxing day. Today was as well. We hung out and watched the Falcons loose to Arizona...UGH!!!!

Aiden and I will be getting ready for our big trip to Minnesota this week...I can't wait!!!!!
