Static

Will winter ever end? We are all tired of the weather inside and out!! You can't walk across the carpet with out getting shocked. We can't complain today...it is sunny and suppose to get up to 60 degrees this afternoon. Aidan is growing up so fast. I think it might be time to get him in for his first haircut. Here is a picture of him on Sadie's pillow, which is fleece and has made his hair look even more crazy!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a great holiday season. Aidan is growing so fast. It was fun to see him open presents this year. He was more in to riping off the paper then the actual presents! He got lots of great presents and we enjoy watching him play with them. Santa brought him his first bicycle. It's called a Hot Walker and it doesn't have pedals. It is suppose to make him learn how to ride a bike better/faster then one with training wheels. Right now he is just interested in ringing the bell. ha ha He also got a cute little recliner just his size. I tried several times to get a picture of him sitting in it...but he is pretty fast. I'll post the best one.

Aidan's First B-day Pics

Here are some of the proofs from when we took Aidan to have his birthday pictures!!

Monkey

Aidan's going to be a monkey for Halloween. Here's a picture. Promise to post more pics later!!

Milestones

This past weekend we decided that Aidan was plenty big enough to go ahead and turn his carseat around! Technically babies are suppose to be 22 lbs AND 1 year old. Aidan is already 25.4 lbs and with shoes on he couldn't straighten his legs out any more. So with just over three weeks to go, we decided to break the rules. So we got the carseat all turned around (not an easy task!!) and took Aidan to a wedding. I think he was so surprised to be able to look around and see all the stuff he's been missing. He has yet to fall asleep in the car since!! He loved the lights and disco ball at the wedding reception. He was so good despite the fact he was feeling a little under the weather with his cold and out way past his bed time. Here are some pictures of him in his carseat and us at the wedding.

Cows and Critters

Aidan is eleven months old already! Hard to figure out where the past year has gone! In the past few months we've taking him out to learn about the world around him. We went with the Locke family to tour the Shatto Dairy Farm. Tasted some delicious milk and looked at some stinky cows. I took a picture of "Pat", a fourteen year old dairy cow and Aidan laughs at it every time I show it to him. I wonder what he thinks it is!! We also took the kids to Deanna Rose Children's Farm to check out the animals there. Aidan got to see several different animals...chickens, cows, peacocks, bobcats, goats, pigs, ducks, etc. He seemed pretty interested in all of the animals except for one aggressive goat that really wanted to get at the food we had. It's crazy noise made Aidan cry! =( He did get to pet a Pygmy goat...I kind of think he thought that it was just a really messed up looking version of Sadie.

Riding Bikes

Aidan went for his first bike ride yesterday. He loved it. We bought a seat for the back of the tandem. We took it for a short test drive last night through the neighborhood. He was just looking around and smiling. The helmet seems to be a little bit big...but I have some extra pads to put in it and get it just right. I didn't take any pictures...but did get a little bit of video. I will take a picture next time and get it posted soon.
