My First Big Boy Bed!

Potty Champ!!!

2011-06-09T08:25:00.001-07:00

While Mommy and I were on vacation last week I decided it was time to be the potty champ!!!!! Grandad gave me a pep talk about the potty when we got there and he is right...I am a BIG BOY!!! So every time I needed to go boo boo I went all by myself. And I told mommy when I had to go potty when we were not in the room. She was so proud of me!!!

And now that I am back home I have had undies on at school ALL DAY!!! And I have only had ONE accident. I am even learning how to hold it!!! Last night before I went to bed I told daddy that I had to go boo boo...as I was running to the bathroom I told him "I am holding my boo boo daddy!!!!!!"

He was proud of me just like mommy. I think I should be able to keep this going. That means that mommy has to get me some more cool undies. Maybe she will let me pick the new ones out!!!

I'm International!!!!!

2011-06-09T07:24:00.000-07:00

Last week I went on my first international vacation and I have the passport stamp to prove it!!! We went to stay at the Atlantis in Nassau Bahamas for 5 days and 4 nights to celebrate my Uncle Raaj's 21st birthday!!!! Granna and Grandad came too!!! It was a lot of fun!!

I got to ride in a limo for the first time and see all the places that mommy has been going to since she was about my age!!! And I see why she loves it so much.

We ate lots of fish, and I spent hours and hours in the slide water. I barely even went to the beach because I was having so much fun at the slide water. Uncle Raaj got to swim with dolphins and I got to play in the water with dolphins RIGHT in front of me!!! How cool is that?

I missed Daddy and Noah though. And when we got home I just hugged and hugged them!!!! We leave for Hilton Head on Saturday and this time Daddy and Noah will be there. We will be there for a week and I get to play even more!!! This is going to be a great summer!!!

Enjoy the pictures!!!

Mommy says that I walk like Grandad...I think she is right!

My Birthday is a Comin!!!!!!

2010-08-03T12:48:00.000-07:00

On August 29th I will turn ‘Terrific 2”!!!!! I don’t know that I am excited just yet but of course mommy is and is in full planning mode. The party was originally suppose to be in Minnesota but some bad people broke into Daddy’s car and took his computer!!!! So he had to get a whole new system.

No problemo though…Mommy swung into Plan B which is to have the party at our house instead. If you know me then you KNOW that I LOVE Choo Choo Trains…so that is the theme of my party!!! Cousin Adrienne sent me a Train Conductor hat from her job and Norfolk Southern and I CAN NOT WAIT to wear it!!! We will have yummy food, cake, a piñata (don’t know what that is yet), go to the pool and play with bubbles!!!!

So in case you are wondering what you get me I would love some books, gift cards to either Children’s Place or Old Navy, tickets to Sesame Street Live (that will be in Atlanta Sept. 16-19th), crayons/markers, etc, the City Driver Toy, Book Shelf , Toddler Travel Bed, and the list goes on.

When in doubt…ask Mommy!!!!!

Play Date!!!!!

2010-07-29T18:56:00.000-07:00

This is the second time Auntie Lauren set up a play date with Mica…first time was at Piedmont Parks water area. I had to feel this little dude out at that play date, so we didn’t play together too much. But this time I had warmed up so we played a lot more together.

On this play date was at Auntie Lauren’s house. We went to the pool at her house and had a ball. We would have gone back to Piedmont Park, but Mommy was there with Noah and she was afraid it would be too hot. We played with cups in the water, Auntie took u out into the big part , we saw planes in the sky and even had snacks in the water!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we all had fun…enjoy the pictures!!!

A Dads Life!!!!!

2010-07-18T13:15:00.001-07:00

Mommy found this hilarious video…Noah and I dedicate it to all the great dads out there!!! And a special dedication to our Super Dad!!!!

Out to the Ball Park!!!

2010-07-16T16:01:00.000-07:00

Last night Uncle Travis and Auntie Lauren took me to my first Braves game!!! It was so fun. I had a hot dog, did the wave, played with the stadium seats (because my weight couldn’t hold them down), AND I got a cool hat!!!! All in all it was a great evening at the ball park!!!

As a bonus I got to spend the night with Auntie and Uncle!!!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed the game!!!

OB/GYN or Cardiologist?????

2010-06-30T12:46:00.000-07:00

The debate is on!!!! My GrandPaul is a cardiologist, but while Mommy was pregnant I was really curious. So it has been asked...Will I be an OB/GYN or a Cardiologist. Mommy said I can be whatever I want, so time will tell if I choose either.

Kite Festival at Centennial Park

2010-06-30T11:19:00.000-07:00

Mommy had my little brother on May 18th and we have been so busy that posting pictures has fallen off!!! Here are some pictures from the Kite Festival that Mommy, Daddy, Granna, Cousin Jareen, Cousin Kailah, Cousin Jason, and I went to on May 15th right before Noah arrived!!! It was so much fun. We made our own kites then played in the fountain at the park!!!! Then we went to our favorite Mexican Spot, The Blue Frog Cantina, in East Atlanta. It was a GREAT day!!!

Mommy and Daddy had just arrived...they went on a date before meeting up with us!!!

Cousin Jason getting some camera time...lol.

The water felt so good on our feet...we didn't know we were not suppose to have our feet in the water!!!

I thought that they were trying to take me away from the water...little did I know that they were getting me READY for the water!!

So how does this work????

Oh!!! That is how it works...

Man this water is cold!!!

I LOVE MY MOMMY!!!! And I thought she needed to be cooled down a little...

Where to begin???

I followed this truck around...I love trucks. I followed it and kept saying truck truck truck truck...lol

Cousin Jareen, Granna and Mommy...oh and Noah in Mommy's belly!!!

MAN that is cold...lol

There was a guy spray painting this in East Atlanta when we arrived...Daddy thought it was cool!

Mommy and Granna

Cousin Jareen, Jason and Kailah

I love to laugh!!!

And to top it all off I got a cookie!!! Well actually I stole this cookie that Mommy had bought for Daddy...lol

Inman Park Festival

2010-04-25T23:56:00.000-07:00

It is that time of year again!!!! FESTIVAL SEASON!!! I am not sure how many we will get to go to before Noah gets here but Mommy and Daddy love the festivals so I am sure it will be as many as possible.

On April 25th Mommy, Daddy, Granna and I went to the Inman Park festival!!! Mommy loves this area of town and we had a ball!!! It was the first of 4 festivals I would get to go to this year. And Mommy got to go to all but 1 of them, but I will cover that in a later post!!! Here are some pictures from that!!!

I didn't want to be IN the stroller I wanted to PUSH the stroller

Then I wanted to ride ON daddy!!!

How cool do I look in Mommy's sunglasses???

While Mommy was standing in line at the ATM I discovered MUSIC!!!!

The drums wee my favorite!!!!

And I played....

And PLAYED!!!!

Then we went and listened to some music....

He was REALLY GOOD!!!

I was mesmerized!!!!

Mommy's feet were tired so she sat down and listened to the music...

And then I was pooped myself so I hung out in one of these cool chairs...all in all it was a GREAT day!!!

Fun N the Sun

2010-04-18T17:04:00.000-07:00

It was really nice outside today. So when Daddy and I got back from Mass with Uncle Travis Mommy suggested we pull out the ducky so I can play in some water!!! I had so much fun!! We played for a LONG time. Then I took a nap and woke up to get right back in the ducky!!! I got to run around in my birthday suit...and even run in and out of the house to get my toys in my birthday suit!!!!! Doesn't get any better than that!!!!!

My Baby Brother's Baby Shower

2010-04-16T17:50:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks (April 3rd to be exact)ago all of mommy's friends came in town, and Daddy and I went to stay with cousin Adrienne and Rick. So I knew something was up. What was it you ask??? My little brother Noah's baby shower bash!!! I could not even be mad about it because I had a pretty fun baby shower bash only a couple short years ago.

Daddy posted the pictures of the party to Noah's blog earlier today so I thought I would give baby bro a shot out on my blog and direct you over to see the pictures if you were interested. I had a lot of fun and got a really good nap in while the party was going on. Shoot I even got a couple gifts out of the deal...lol. So click here to see the pictures.

Until next time.....

2010-03-30T16:16:00.000-07:00

Lubby and Bob-Bob were in town and I got to stay over night with them at Auntie Katt's house. While I was there I got to play with my little cousin Asia...I was practicing being a big brother. I had to much fun...when Mommy and Daddy came to get me I was more interested in just staying over there and hanging out!!!

Hey Asia...remember me from Thanksgiving???You are so pretty...I know you remember me...
Bob-Bob and I were wore OUT!!!!Man I LOVED this thing...Mommy and Daddy need to get me one this summer!!!!Lubby took me on a nice long stroll around the neighborhood in this wagon...I was relaxing!!!!

Easter Egg Hunt and Boys Day out!!!!!

2010-03-29T06:55:00.000-07:00

This weekend was action packed!!!! First on Saturday Daddy, Mommy and I went to Granna's house for her 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt!!! Mommy had gotten me the coolest Elmo basket but I didn't know what it was for until we went to Granna's. There were lots of kids there but I just hung out with Daddy...I was kinda sleepy. But when it came time to find eggs Mommy showed me how and I found TONS of them...it was fun putting them in my Elmo basket!!!

Then yesterday after Palm Sunday Mass Daddy and I went to GrandPaul's office so Daddy could fix something and my favorite Uncle was there!!!!! I took a quick nap but then Daddy, Uncle Travis and I went and hung out at Stats and watched some Basketball!!! We were there ALL afternoon. It was so fun!!!! When we got home I took a shower with Daddy and went right to bed!! I was super tired.

Here are some pictures from each day...enjoy!!!!

And these are from the Boys Day out....

I didn't do that!!!! Well maybe I did...

Fun Filled Saturday!!!!

2010-03-20T16:16:00.000-07:00

Today Daddy, Mommy and I had a FULL day of fun. It was really pretty outside so we took full advantage of it. First we went to the Children's Museum where I had loads of fun, then we went across the street to the playground at Centennial Park, had lunch, then we walked over to the Ga. World Congress Center where we enjoyed the car show!!! It was a LONG day and I didn't get to take a nap but I was a trooper...I did finally fall asleep at the end of the car show, but I enjoyed everything else like the big boy that I am!!!

For once Mommy was the one taking all the pictures and Daddy said she did a great job capturing all of the fun moments. So here are a few of the many pictures...enjoy!!!!

18 month check up

2010-03-08T13:05:00.000-08:00

Today I went to the doctor for my 18 month check up. All is great...I am 27lbs 7oz and 34.1inches tall. Mommy was surprised that I didn't weigh more but I WAS sick and probably lost some weight. Oh well. Momma said I was a trooper because I got a shot today and barely cried...I think I was in shock. She normally leaves the room because it hurts her more than it does me...women!!!!

We are going to take come pictures of me and Mamma's belly today because we have not done that and Mamma (as I call her) wants some more pictures for Noah's blog.

Below is a picture of me at the doctor today. I was trying to input my own data into the computer...hehehe. As I sip on some kiwi-strawberry juicy juice!!!! Yummy

Dinner time fun

2010-03-01T18:14:00.001-08:00

Aiden was being his normal silly self tonight at dinner so Daddy pulled out the camera and caught all the action. He was having a great conversation with Mommy!!!

I'm a Rock Star Baby!!!!!

2010-02-26T14:19:00.000-08:00

A Day in the Park...

2010-02-25T22:53:00.000-08:00

Back from Minnesota!!!!!

2010-02-25T10:35:00.000-08:00

So I am REALLY late doing this post. Aiden and I went to Minnesota on the 3rd of February and then Paul joined us on the 5th. Aiden was good on the plan as usual...because I book the flight around his nap times) and was right at home at Auntie Talia's house. The first couple days were all about Aiden and Garyson hanging out together and they were too cute. It was like they had never been apart!! We spent an evening at my Dad's house with the boys an they had a ball!!!!

Paul was very hesitant about going to Minnesota because he is afraid of the cold, but he manned up and tackled the 30 degree weather (which is not cold by we northerners standards). Once Paul arrived we went to see my Grandfather so they could meet outside of all the birthday party madness and they hit it off!!!! Whew, what a relief!!!! Aiden was his normal exploratory self at Grandpas house. Then we went back to Natalia's house where we picked her up and went to dinner with my Godfather at my favorite restaurant...Redstone!!!! What fun!!!!

Saturday was the day of the big 87th party for my Grandfather. We were over there ALL DAY and it was wonderful. There were 3 of his 6 children, 10 of his numerous grandchildren, and 20 of his numerous great grandchildren present!!!! Needless to say that Aiden had plenty of kids to keep him occupied!!! He had too much fun and everyone enjoyed seeing him.

So here are a few of the TONS of pics that we took over the 5 day trip.

This was the first plane ride that Paul and Aiden took together...Paul slept through most of it but enjoyed the joys of an active 17 month old for the last 30 minutes or so.

First Haircut

2010-02-10T17:28:00.000-08:00

Today, Daddy took me to the barber shop and I received my first haircut. I was cool, calm and collected the ENTIRE time.

Such a Big Boy

2010-01-27T20:31:00.000-08:00

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!!!

Potty Time!!!!!!

2010-01-12T08:05:00.000-08:00

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!!!!!

2010-01-01T07:35:00.000-08:00

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!!!!!

Mommy and Daddy

Merry Christmas!!!!

2009-12-26T08:17:00.000-08:00

This Christmas was GREAT!!!! It was busy...but it was GREAT!!!! Me and Mommy were sick most of the week but we were able to get well enough to enjoy Christmas Day. I woke up that morning, Mommy took me downstairs and there were pretty boxes under the tree!!!! Who put those there????
I was shocked and excited all at the same time!!!!!! Mommy and Daddy said that Santa had came and left me some gifts and that it was time to open them!!! Well you don't have to tell me twice!!!

So after we finish opening gifts at home we packed up the car to go to Granna's house for the rest of the day!!! We have breakfast, then open more gifts, then Mommy cooks dinner!!!! While Mommy cooks and talks to Granna and Cousin Jaureen I play with Cousin Jayson and his sister Kailaih. Dinner was yummy!!!!! And we had sooo much fun. After Mommy and Daddy helped clean the table off we hopped in the car and drove to Murfreesboro for a few days of fun and relaxation with Lubby, Bob-Bob, Uncle Travis, Auntie Lauren, TT, Cousin Adriennne, Cousin Rick and Auntie Lauren's parents. It was lots of fun. Mommy will have to put those pictures up later once Uncle Travis sends them to her. I kinda broke her camera so she could not take any pictures :(.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

2009-11-29T13:04:00.000-08:00

Today Daddy took the tree and decorations out the attic and we decked the halls!!!! It was super fun!!! I helped Daddy take the tree out the box and put it up. Then I helped...well more like played...put the ornaments up. Boy can those things bounce!!! Uncle Travis and Auntie Lauren were over to help too. Mommy helped as much as she could...Daddy was in full control of tree decorating...he seems to really get into it...lol.

Well here are some of the pics below...enjoy!!!

After all that hard work...Mommy made a yummy dinner for me to chow down on!!!

While I was eating I noticed an ornament out of place...so I HAD to go and fix it!!!

Lots going on this month!!! And lots happened at the end of last month. Mommy and Daddy will upload pictures from Thanksgiving and make a big announcement!!!!

2009-11-29T12:16:00.000-08:00

Word Play!!!!

2009-11-01T06:16:00.001-08:00

Last month I added some new words to my vocabulary...I am 14 months now. I weigh 26lbs and am 34inches long...yes you read that right. Oh and I wear a size 6.5-7 shoe!!!! Mommy says that when I get older I am going to have to get a sponsor to afford the food bills...lol.

So I can now say the following words VERY WELL:

Dad (I don't say Daddy...just Dad) oh and I can say Paul now to...Dad doesn't like it so much
Mom-Mom
Granna
Bath Bath (I like to say it twice)
I said GrandPaul for the first time last week!!!!
Juice
2Pac is one of my favorites
Stop
Go Go (when I am ready to go this is what I say)
Get down
Get back (I normally say this when I am talking to Pac)
Up (I only say this some of the time...normally I will just climb up to where I want to go.)
Tub

Those are words that I said the most this month...and the ones I say the best. I am really interested in my books now...especially one that my Great Grandpa Mann got me for my birthday about babies from around the world. It is my favorite.

Lots going on this month. Mommy and I may go to Minnesota to stay with Auntie Talia and Garyson for a couple days and then Lubby, Bob-Bob, TT, GreatGran and Great Grandpa are coming for Thanksgiving!!!! None of them have seen me walk (now jog) yet so it should be fun showing off!!! AND I get yummy food for Thanksgiving!!!!

So until next time...oh and Mommy told me to mention that you should visit her Mommy Blog (click here)!!!

Smarty Pants

2009-10-17T12:45:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Daddy tell me all the time that I am too smart for my own good....I don't know what that is suppose to mean but I like trying to figure things out. I try and try until I get it...maybe that is what Mommy and Daddy mean. One day Daddy put these locks on the cabinet under the sink...Mommy said that there is yucky stuff in there...so I am determined to get in there. I figured out that if I pull on the door hard enough a few times I can open it...EVEN WITH the locks that Daddy put on...pretty smart of me.

Daddy caught me on camera doing it yesterday...check me out!!!!

Open says-a-me-!!!!!!

Aiden can walk!!!!! Yes you read that right, the Prince is taking MAJOR steps on his own. Not the 2 or 3 steps he has been doing since his birthday, but walking across rooms!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Good thing Paul put the gates up with week. We are super excited and I (Mommy) am getting myself ready for the demolition that is to come now that he can walk...lol.

Once Paul finds that Flip camera that he has misplaced I will update this post with some video!!!!

I also wanted to update you on Aiden's vocabulary!!! He is just a talking away. And I KNOW that he thinks that he is talking just like Mommy and Daddy. So this is what he can say so far

Daddy, Dad, Dada
Mom, Mum Mum, Mama, Aja (working on eliminating that one from the vocabulary)
2Pac, Pac
Pac Down (and he points his finger down like Daddy)
2Pac sit down!!! (and he says it with such force...lol)
Thank you...yes our baby is a gentleman in the making!!!
Uh Oh
Yes, Yeah
bye bye
Hi

I am sure there are some words that I am missing bot those are the ones that he uses DAILY!!!! Be on the look out for that video!!!!!

Milestones!!!!

2009-08-21T08:02:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Aiden followers!!!! Aiden has been growing leaps and bounds!!! His first birthday is next Saturday and it is going to be a day to remember. A lot of our family and friends are coming in town to celebrate this momentous occasion and we are very excited about it. It is going to be a busy week, but I am hoping that Daddy (Paul) will post the pictures of the BEAUTIFUL birthday invitations that Kimmy made sometime this weekend.

Aiden has a new tooth!!! He now has 4 on top and 4 on the bottom and they are just too cute for words to see when he smiles. He also drank out of a straw for the first time on Wednesday. I just put the straw to his mouth and he drank!!!! He is so smart!!! lol (don't all Mommy's say that about their children?) He also has been saying a few new words...including my first name. Not too happy about the fact that he calls me by my first name more often than Mommy, but we are working on that. He says stop now...which is so cute.

Aiden also decided this week that he wanted to take his diaper off. He has been trying to do it for a while but he succeeded this week. He is very fascinated with his little "pee-pee" (as I call it) and enjoys discovering it anytime he is naked. I read that when your baby starts taking their diaper off that it is the first sign that they are ready to potty train!!!!! WHAT...I am soo not ready for that. He is not walking yet AND he is not even one!!!!!! Aiden is also a big helper when it comes to getting him dressed and undressed. He tries to lay his pants or shorts on the floor and put them on himself. It is so cute...he really wants to be a big boy!!!!

Yes, Aiden is STILL not walking yet but I have accepted that he will walk when he is ready. Hopefully when Natalia and Garyson come to visit for Labor Day, that Aiden will get walking motivation!!!!! Garyson is the one who motivated Aiden to begin to walk around furniture when he was 8 months old.

So the next post will be (hopefully) pictures of the invite and then the MANY pictures from the birthday party!!! So until then!!!

Out with Daddy at Piedmont Park...

Fun Times with Family!!!

2009-08-09T08:54:00.000-07:00

We are always going to this Mexican Cantina in East Atlanta. Mommy and Daddy went a lot with Granna and everyone else before I was in Mommy's belly. And ate there A LOT while I was in Mommy's belly!!!! And we have gone a few times since I came out of Mommy's belly. Needless to say, everyone knows who I am when we go there. It is always fun and we can even bring Pac!!! Cousin Jareen and Kayla have moved to Atlanta so Granna called and invited us to dinner. Uncle Raaj is here for the summer too....we hang a lot!!!! Enjoy the pictures!!!

Look at the BIG FOOT!!!! I wear a size 6.5 shoe!!!

I know that when Mommy or Daddy pull a camera out that I am suppose to smile big!!!!

Kisses....

I said something funny...as usual!!!

I like Cousin Jareen...we have fun!!!! Uncle Raaj is only here for the summer but we have had fun all summer. When I go and stay with Granna I go right to Uncle Raaj's room. His bed is low so I can crawl up there all by myself. AND he likes to listen to music. So we just hang out!!!! Until next time....

The Zoo

2009-08-09T08:26:00.000-07:00

So last month Paul and I took Aiden to the Zoo for the first time. We knew that he would not REALLY understand what was going on but like to see some large animals (Pac is the only animal he has see and Aiden is bigger than him!!!!) Aiden waved hi and bye to all the animals...it was so cute...and he even rode on the train around the zoo. He really liked that!!!! Below are the pictures...enjoy!!!!

Aiden having a cold one while we enter the Zoo...it was SUPER hot that day!!!!

Aiden LOVES to ride on the shoulders...a habit that my Daddy started with him in Minnesota!!

Aiden was a little skeptical at first.....

But then put his fears aside because Daddy was there!!!!

This goat was chillin...then Aiden came along and he was like....
.....I am OUTTA HERE!!!!

Aiden is saying "Hi Piggy"

Didn't take any pictures of the real Pandas...but Aiden got to touch this one so he was happy!!!!

Silverback Gorilla...Aiden was most fascinated by this animal!!!!

Memorized!!!

Train Ride!!!! He loved this...until we went into the tunnel...then he was holding onto Daddy for dear life!!!!

"Hey Mommy"

Time to eat...lol...

Look at those cheeks!!!! Now you see why I am kissin on them in EVERY picture!!!!

You can see his bottom three teeth in this picture!!!!!

UPDATE!!!!!

2009-08-09T08:12:00.000-07:00

This is Mommy posting today. We have been really behind with updating Aiden's blog but promise to do better!!! So much is going on right now in preparation for Aiden's 1st birthday bash!!! The invites have gone out and just last night I saw what they look like and Kimmy has once again outdone herself!!! We will post pictures of the invite later. The party will of course be on his birthday, August 29th, at Granna's house. She is already preppin the house for the big cookout. Family's coming from all over to celebrate with us!!!

Aiden is not yet walking but sometimes stands alone for extended lengths of time. We know that he is capable of walking, but is just not ready. He is talking and babbling like none other!!! And even does some sign language thanks to Mommy and Baby Einstein. He can do the sign for Eat, More, Milk, Baby and Daddy!!!! He learned baby and Daddy all by himself!!!! Of course he can SAY Da Da, Momma, juice (but he says jus), Hi, hey, yes, baby, and we swear that he says full sentences sometime...lol. The other day he was crawling towards the stairs and I called his name, he turn around, looked at me, and said Yes as clear as anyone could say it. I was cracking up!!! He has so much personality.

I am not quite sure how much he weighs but he is HEAVY!!!! And of course still super tall. This summer we have gone to the Zoo and played in the pool. Aiden LOVES the water. I wonder who he gets that from??? He even stays with Granna on Friday nights!!! He loves hangin with Granna and Pop Pop!!!

Aiden now ONLY likes to feed himself!!! No more mommy or daddy feeding him. He is still a little lactose intolerant but other than that he eats whatever we eat (with the exception of red meat). He LOVES peaches!!!!! And I mean LOVES!!!! Aiden has 7 teeth now...4 on top and three on the bottom. He knows what to do when I tell him to brush his teeth and give him his toothbrush.

I am going to post some pictures from Aidens trip to the Zoo...and a post of us out with family at our favorite Mexican Cantina...so until next time!!!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!

2009-06-21T19:15:00.000-07:00

Today was Father's Day!!! My Daddy is the best. We went to Mass this morning with Lubby then had dinner with GrandPaul and the rest of the gang. Daddy wanted a man toy so Mommy and I helped him get closer to obtaining what he wants. Then I was all tuckered out...so we crashed. I hope that all the Daddy's, Granddads, Great Granddads an Godfathers out there had a GREAT day!!!!

Rubber Duckie your the one!!!

2009-06-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

One of Mommy's friends from college bought me this duckie bath thinggy. Well Daddy and Mommy didn't like it for bath time so Mommy said that we would use it this summer as a little pool!!!! Well Mommy pulled it out today (because it is 96 degrees outside!!!!) and it was so fun!!! But Mommy said that she wants to get me something bigger to play in!!!

What is up next? Well Auntie Kimmy is coming to town tomorrow!!!! YAY...then we are going to Uncle Raaj's birthday/graduation cook out at Granna's house. Then Mommy and I are having brunch with Auntie Tina...I cant wait to meet her. And Sunday is Father's Day!!!!! So Mommy and I are working on stuff for Daddy!!! Until next time!!!!!

Comin home!!!

2009-06-06T12:51:00.000-07:00

We are on our way HOME!!!! YAY!!!! While we were waiting for GrandPaul and She Ma-Ma to finish up with meetings we went to Fudruckers. It was fun...I kept chewing all over Auntie Lauren and she didn't realize how much it was going to hurt (eventhough Mommy tells her all the time!!!)

This time I got her cheek!!!

And this time I got her finger...and left marks!!!

Swing Time and comin !!!!

2009-06-05T12:32:00.000-07:00

Today was the last day of my first Hilton Head vacation. We went to a family luncheon...I slept through most of it but woke up in time to try and steal Auntie Lauren's trophy. GUT and Auntie Lauren got trophies for playing tennis....they both came in third.

Then on the way back the car Mommy wanted me to get in the swing. It was SOOOOO fun!!! daddy pushed me higher and higher. Mommy said that we can go to the swings by the house because I liked it so much!!!
