Peek-A-Boo

Today is Aiden's 15mth. birthday! My little guy has grown so fast. As I head back to work on Monday, he will start is 3rd week of daycare. Attending daycare has been tough on him since he was at home for the 1st year of his life and mommy had to have the crazy idea of "socializing" him. After my workout today, Aiden decided that he had to take a shower and Mom could just wait a little longer.

1ST BIRTHDAY!!!

We just completed our first milestone! Aiden turned 1 and he had a blast celebrating with loved ones. He sure loved eating his very own piece of cake. Time sure does fly! How can I forget when my other kiddos have grown up in the blink of an eye. Aiden is now 27lbs, 33 1/2 inches tall and on the road to walking. He has only taken two steps and I am sad to say that is all. There are many occasions when you will find him standing by himself and when he realizes what he has done --he sits down really fast. His facial expression tells it all ... I hope no one saw that because being carried sure is the way to go. Even though I don't want him to grow up fast, I can't wait to see him walk and get into all sorts of funny mischief.

We had a wonderful time during Easter. Spending time with our friends and family is always a blessing. Aiden is 3 days away from his 11 month birthday. He really enjoyed spending time with his cousins and as always, Josh and Tali spoiled him rotten. Aiden is sampling different foods such as, spanish rice, chicken, turkey, pickles, and bread.

Saturday, 03/07/2009 was my very first bike ride. Daddy loves spending time with me on his day off and wants me to love the outdoors just as much as he does. After a 30 minute bike ride, I was definitely exhausted and fell asleep during the ride. Can't wait until our next day out. My daddy is the coolest! Thanks dad for spending time with me.

Check out my blue suede shoes

Aiden has been crawling all over the house and pulling himself up from from the floor by grabbing onto the edge of the couches to stand; we decided now is the time to get walking shoes. He isn't walking yet, but there are times when he stretches out his arms, letting go of the couch, and oops he is on the floor. It was really fun to shop for shoes! We looked at Pumas, Nike, Sketchers, Stride Rite, Vans, and Converse. The selection of shoes was a bit overwhelming ... he is only 9 months old. I settled on Nike and Puma shoes. Once he starts walking we will switch to the Stride Rite shoes. I used Stride Rite shoes for my other kiddos and I loved them!

Goal

Josh scored his first goal of the season this past Saturday. Way to go Josh! He hasn't played soccer in 4 years, but he plays as if he never stopped. He loves it when grandparents, tia's, tio's, and cousins attend his games.

Score: 3 to 0

OOOPPPS POOPS!!

Aiden has been battling with an ear ache and is now on the road to recovery with antibiotics. Because he is on meds, his tummy has been a little upset. You know, the usual vomiting and diarrhea thing. Well ...
Daddy was taking his daily night time bath with Aiden when ... VAL!!! COME QUICKLY!!! was belted from Gabe's mouth. As I dashed into the bathroom to see what was wrong - Gabe was holding our handsome son in the air, screaming, HE TOOK A POOP IN HERE!

The moment ... PRICELESS.

Crawling!!

Finally!! Our nine month old baby is crawling. It took a green computer cord to spur the desire to crawl from one spot to another. Scary that he is motivated by something that is potentially dangerous to his well being.

Another mile stone during this week ... the breaking of the first tooth. At his last weigh in, the scale read 25 lbs and 30 1/2 inches tall. I think we have a big boy on our hands.

Our first blog!

Wow! Our friends and family will have the ability to hear and see the latest and greatest about our family adventures. Can't wait to post pictures. We love to stay up to date with our family and can't wait to share our memories in the making with you. God bless!

More to come shortly!
