Such a Big Boy

Aiden has been growing up rapidly before our eyes...and I (Mommy)thinks it is because he knows that there is another baby coming. Last week I decided I wanted to see how long it would take him to go to sleep (cry himself to sleep) without any rocking or coaxing. Well I put him in the crib after telling him night night and giving him a kiss. He never cried a tear...he talked in the crib for about 10 minutes then just went to sleep!!!! I though well maybe that was a once in a lifetime thing...so I tried it each night since and he has done the same!!!!! WHAAAATTTT!!!! When did my baby grow up into a big boy?????

So last night Paul decided to take a picture of him sleeping. IT was funny because he stands up in the crib until he is ready to lay down and for the first time he was holding onto his blanket and his sippy cup. So when he laid down he still have the blanket in one hand and sippy cup in the other. He is so funny. But here is the shot below...I just want to kiss all over those cheeks!!!!

Potty Time!!!!!!

It is about that time...time to begin the potty training process with our Prince Aiden. With Noah on the way I (Mommy)HOPE that we will not have two babies in diapers for TOO long. So we went out on Satuday and bought Aiden a potty. I had looked around and knowing that Aiden is obsessed with toilet paper and with flushing the toilet, I decided on the Cheer for Me Potty which runs for an average of about $30.

This morning I came upstairs to find Aiden and Daddy watching the cutest Elmo "Potty Time" video. If you dont know already Aiden LOVES Elmo!!!! So here is the video...we will probably be singing this to Aiden as we try to get him to go potty in the potty!!!! Click Here to view the video.

I have an announcement!!!!!

If you can read any of my shirt you will see that we are having a NEW BABY!!!!!! You read that right...I am going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!!! And I promise to be the bestest big brother EVER!!!!

Mommy and Daddy found out about the baby in September but kept it a secret until Thanksgiving when they announced it...via my t-shirt!! It was fun!!! I don't really care if it is a little sister or brother, but we went to the doctor with Mommy on Wednesday and found out that I am going to be getting a Little BROTHER this May!!!! Boy do I have lots to teach him!!! I am so excited!!!! Oh and Mommy and Daddy decided to name him Noah Oliver Douglass (Oliver after my Great Grandpa Mann).

One thing I REALLY like to do is to kiss Mommy's belly. I know there is something growing in there (because it is getting bigger and bigger) and she said it was called a baby. So when we are sitting together I lift up her shirt to give the baby a kiss...sometimes I blow raspberry's on the belly too...I think it is funny!!!

Daddy will be setting up Noah's blog this weekend so I will be sure to post what the site is so you can keep up with mommy's growing belly and Noah's progress!!!!!
