Happy Birthday Aidan!

Happy Birthday Aidan! Today after lunch we ate cupcakes, played with balloons and sang Happy Birthday to Aidan. He is so funny, every time we sing to him, he shakes his head no! But he's smiling the whole time.

What a difference a year makes!!!!!!!!!

Last year today I was holding my precious brand new Baby Aidan and a year later I am running behind him to make sure he doesn't fall! Aidan is walking! He is such a special addition to our family, we are so blessed to have him. We love you Aidan!

Dear Santa

Today Ethan wrote his letter to Santa, with a little help from mommy. As you can see he wants a helicopter, Airplane and a Bow and arrow. I don't know where all that came from, but at the moment thats what he asked for. He even wrote his name at the bottom.

Its begining to look alot like Christmas!

Today we started to decorate for Christmas! Ethan was so excited when we asked him if he wanted to put the christmas tree up! He did most of the decorating and most of the ornaments are exactly at his level, especially the candy canes! Aidan loves the tree, a little too much! Should be a fun month of trying to keep him from knocking it down! I love that Ethan is at the perfect age to be so into this wonderful time of year! He loves watching the christmas shows, asking tons of questions about Santa, counting down the days until we can go to Papa's.

Aidan is 11 months!

Aidan is 11 months old today! He is getting so big and although he has been taking some steps on his own for a while now, he's being pretty cautious about walking. He loves to play with Ethan and has a total of 5 teeth , I think the 6th one is on its way. He is such a blessing to our family and we adore him!

Thanksgiving Art Project

Today I asked Ethan if he wanted to do a Thanksgiving art Project, he said "Sure Mommy"! So I asked him to trace his own hand and he did! I of course traced Aidan's pudgey hand, I could only get him to sit still to do one hand so he has one turkey! Ethan traced his hand four times and did a great job, Joey showed him how to add feet, a beek ,eyes etc. and he made 3 more on his own! When I asked him what he is Thankful for he said "Mommy, Daddy, Grammy, Papa Pete and Aunt Sandy"! I said what about Aidan, he said ok him too! Aidan was being all of what a 10 month old would, he was crushing up the paper, eating the crayons, pulling on Ethan and my hair so I could understand why he left him out! After we were done, I wrote Aidan's name on his and asked Ethan if he wanted me to write his name on his, he said," I can do it". I honestly have only showed him a few times how to write his name and well he did it! He did a great job, He needs a little help with the A in ETHAN, but I was presently surprised!

Got Chocolate?

Today we made yummy Chocolate Pudding! Guess who liked it? Ethan said "Mommy you know how much I like chocolate!" And yes I do!
