Applesauce

I brought home some apples from the stand the other day to make some applesauce, so yesterday while Aiden was still at Grandma's I decided to make it. It turned out very good. I used golden delicious and left it a bit chunky.

Building The Shed

Gary went over with his brother Tim to help Tom finish up the shed he was building for Gary's parents. Aiden thought he was one of the boys hanging outside watching them hammer, nail and saw. He made sure to work in some breaks to play on the swingset too.








Aiden looks so stinking cute in his hat, if only I could get him to keep it on!

Colors

One day while walking through a store Aiden pointed out a yellow shirt. At first I thought he was just guessing and happened to get it right but after asking about more colors, he was getting them right also. He knows blue, green, yellow, orange, purple and red. Sometimes he has a hard time telling the difference between red and purple but gets it right a majority of the time. He's started pointing out certain shapes like stars and hearts so it looks like we will work on that soon. I really don't know where he picks some of this stuff up, it's amazing to see what that little mind can hold.



Oh Lauren is Uncle Matt's girlfriend that Aiden is just soooo in love with!

Big Boy Bed

A few weeks ago Aiden was sleeping horribly. If you even got near his crib he would start saying NO NO NO. He was waking up a few times a night and would no longer nap in the crib. I pulled the mattress out of his crib and laid it on the floor, he slept much better that night. So we made the decision that Aiden was ready for a big boy bed. Jessica had a toddler bed that wasn't being used so we borrowed it. Aiden is back to sleeping wonderfully and loves his big boy bed.

Such A Tough Life...

Aiden was calling for me yesterday. After following the sound of his voice I found him in our bed, the pillows propped up behind him, with the covers pulled up. He had the remote to the tv in his hand and quickly handed it to me to turn the tv on for him. If that wasn't enough he asked for crackers to snack on while he watched Spongebob. What a tough life...

Sprout

Friday I had my first doctors appointment and everything went well. Funny story for those who don't know. A few months ago a local radio station had a psychic on their show so I picked up my cell phone on my drive into work. Well wouldn't you know it I got through. At the time Gary and I had been discussing and trying for baby number two. So my question to the psychic was that we were trying for number 2 and what he saw in the near future. Well his response was baby number 2 like your second child, I quickly agreed. He then told me that my next pregnancy there would be two children, TWINS. Fast forward to my doctors appointment, after a reassuring ultrasound we have confirmed that there is only one little one in there. My due date was changed from May 10th to the 15th, but everything looks fantastic. I've been very nauseous the last week and a half, a good sign I know, but still not fun!



A new tradition with my baby board is that as some of us are starting the next round of pregnancies we give the little one a nick name until they arrive. So this little one was given the nickname of Sprout.
