What does a sheep say?

When asked what a sheep says, Aiden replied.....

Bubbles!!

I find it amazing the things Aiden learns. It seems every day he is learning something new. This afternoon while giving him a bath I pointed out some bubbles, Aiden repeated me right away. So after he was all dressed I thought we would pull out the dinosaur bubble blower. As soon as the first bubble came out Aiden was saying bubble. He has spent the rest of the afternoon walking around saying bubble.

For Mason...

For my little friend Mason who wanted to here Kirby talk. If you listen closely you can hear him say "Good Boy" two times....Enjoy!!



Again I don't know how to rotate the video...but if you turn your head to the left you are all set. Sorry it's soo dark!

Cleaning

Today I was doing a little cleaning and noticed the ledge in the living room was growing things so I thought it was time to give it a good cleaning. I don't clean it as much as I should, ok I admit I've never cleaned up there. I went out to the garage got the ladder, drug it in, almost killed myself getting the vacuum up there, then chickened out climbing up there. So what's the next option...."Gary!!!...Come here". Gary climbed up there and cleaned it all up. He gets some bonus points for that!

Look what I can do!

Look where I found Aiden this morning. He climbs up on the stool and then shakes the rail of the crib and yells till you come and see what he is doing. He loves to get as many of his binkies as he can find. He walks around with one in his mouth and one in each hand.



And a little video of the munchkin...I don't know how to rotate the video b ut if you turn your head to the left it looks just fine

Painted...

I painted the bathroom last week. The other color was getting a bit old and I figured it was time for something new. Aiden helped a bit, not as much as he wanted. I'd put the masking tape up and he would pull it off. He only managed to get paint on him once, I can't say the same for me.

Here is a picture so you can see the new color

And we are off...

Well I think I can say we officially have a walker. The only time Aiden has been crawling is when he falls down and needs to get to the nearest object to help him back up. He LOVES to walk and has been non-stop most of the weekend. It seems the Frankenstein arms have stopped too. He has a little routine while walking through the house.....

It starts in the Kitchen....


Headed for his room...


Around his train table....


Then off to Mom and Dad's room....


Then repeated over and over.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein is Aiden's new nickname. He is really walking up a storm lately but can only do it with his arms held out in front of him. I know he does it for balance but it's quite cute!



Here is a little video of him walking
(it's a bit dark...I took it last night)

Haircut

Gary never wants Aiden to get his hair cut. I think he's afraid it will make him a big boy rather than a baby still. So when he went out for the night Aiden and I played barber shop. Last time we went to carnival cuts and they charged us a small fortune to nip the ends off...so this time mommy was doing it.

Before: I like to call this "The Donald"



And the after:

Grocery Shopping....

While grocery shopping yesterday Aiden starting getting a little bit tired. You could see he was zoning out and he was going to be out for the final count soon. Gary had picked up a little pillow he wanted for home so it was in the cart. We stuck it behind Aiden's head and he slept the rest of the shopping trip. Everyone we passed pointed and commented on how cute he was...I'd have to agree.

Sorry for the crappy pics...Gary took them with his phone.

What will it be next?

What a long two weeks for Aiden. The Wednesday before Christmas Aiden started with a cold. We thought it was just a cold until the this past Wednesday night when he started with a fever. Thursday morning Aiden woke up with a pretty high fever so I called and changed his well doctor visit that was planned for the day into a sick visit. Dr. O'Conner checked his chest and ears and everything looked fine, so home we went. When Aiden still had a fever Saturday morning we went back to the doctors, his chest and ears were checked again. This time he had an ear infection. Well wouldn't you know it when he woke up Sunday from his nap and had what looked like a rash....rosieola. Add on top of it all he's getting his two top teeth...poor little man!
