Poor Baby!

Hey everyone! I am trying to get back into the groove and update the blog more often. It has been great to spend more time with Ayden during the weekends and at nights now that I am not working as much. You really begin to realize what you can miss in even just a few days. So, needless to say it has been great to catch up to see all the things he is doing now.

Ayden is just getting over his first real sickness. It was hard to see him that uncomfortable and unhappy. We have been fortunate with him not getting really sick before and it was just hard because you feel so helpless when he doesn’t feel good. He is getting better now and I am just thankful that he is getting back to his fun-loving, smiling personality.

He is really trying to talk and repeat what you say. He is getting pretty good at saying “dog”, “cat” and “ball”. Ayden also loves to look at his pictures around the house and then will say his name. It takes a little coaxing, but he will say “Ay-Den”. So cute because he gets so excited when he sees all of the pictures.

He has 6 teeth now, 4 on top and the two on the bottom. He of course tries to put everything in his mouth. Ayden is also doing really well standing by himself and not holding onto anything. He won’t do it too long, but he is trying. Here are some new pics. Hope you enjoy~

He loves to look out the windows.

Crazy January!!!

Hi everyone! I know I have not updated the blog in a while but I have been working late everyday in January. It has been a difficult month for me in that I have not had many opportunities to see Ayden. I am very excited that our busy tax season is tapering off to allow for some more family time.
During the past month, Ayden has been doing some great things. He is really starting to say some words besides his favorite “Dada”. If you say to him, “Ayden, where’s your truck?”…he will go over to his truck, say “Tuck”, drive it around and go ROOMMMM!! It is so cute and I am so proud of him. He tries to say a lot of the words that you say, so it is really cool.
What I love the most about what he is doing now, is he is always looking to see if you are watching when he does things. So, for instance he will have a toy in both of his hands, and he will manage to stand himself up from sitting. He then looks over his shoulder at you to make sure you are watching him. Once you give him praise and clap your hands, “Yeahhhh!! Ayden”, he then get’s so excited and claps his hands with the biggest smile. He is just so happy and we couldn’t be more blessed to have him in our lives.
It is just really exciting seeing him grow and gaining more and more personality. I love to just watch him and laugh at all the things he is doing. I don’t have too many pictures, so I promise I will get more to show everyone now that I will be home more. Enjoy!

Here is Ayden getting ready for to go out in that first snow storm....barely fits in the carseat.
He really loves that camera!
