Aiden's New Things x2

Aiden has so many changes every day that sometimes I forget to stop and blog or write down what I notice and love so much. Of course I am getting all sappy as my alone time with him is coming to an end and I enter the world of working moms. I have so many great examples and people to lean on (plus amazing childcare) I know I will be fine, but of course it is scary. Just recently he has started wanting stand on his own leaning against something, loves taking steps while you are holding his hands, has begun trying real human food mashed at his highchair (bananas were okay but we didn't have much interest for scrambled eggs) and he has started babbling mamma and laughing when anyone touches his belly. The words and laughter are music to my ears and I love it so much! I am going to love every minute of watching this little monster grow up into an adorable boy. How lucky am I?

Aiden, Halen and Baby Ian(5 months too!)

Game night, which was a house filled with lots of food, fun and babies! Check them all out. How cool will it be for them to all grow up together?

Cooper, Kristy and Bug

What cute girls!

So Cooper is obviously the oldest and would have none of that lyin' around stuff...

Swim party hosted by the DiMatteo's was the perfect Saturday night event! Thank you!

It's a BOY!

Our friends, Tracy, Steve, Egan and Evan Meagher welcomed a beautiful baby BOY into the world July 23rd at 2:22am. This amazing creature weighs in at 10lbs, 5oz. and 22 1/2 inches!
We were so lucky to meet him and can't wait for him and Aiden to play together.

Also on July 17th Jose (my friend from school) and his wife Anna (who works at Aiden's new daycare) welcomed their baby girl, Violet into the world. Aiden has two new Jackson Heights friends! (Pictures to come since they are all on my phone!)

BRITT Festival 2009

This weekend we took our one and only getaway to Ashland to visit Sarah and see the Britt Festival in Jacksonville. Aiden was hilarious because he was so excited before and just hanging out while we enjoyed the outdoor arena, then the opening band came on (they were awesome) and boom by the 2nd song he was out. He slept through them entirely and then when the Cowboy Junkies came out (the main show) he woke up like nothing had happened danced, looked at people and then crashed in the car. It was really fun and a great weekend-thanks for setting it up mom and dad (and thanks for the anniversary tickets!)

Aiden at the Office

This kid loves office chairs...I am always worried he is going to fall out, but luckily we have Profit there to make sure he can't get out!

A sport i don't understand

Kellin and I have had a pretty interesting summer, so there hasn't been much time for golf...today him and my dad went this evening so Aiden wore this outift that Chris, Bruce and Kaitlyn Forell (our so-cal fam) gave to him for Christmas...it seemed fitting!

In case you can't see it says "My daddy kicks butt of the golf course!"
