Fun Times with Family!!!

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

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!!!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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 !!!!

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!!!
