Back from Tennessee

We're back from Tennessee. It was a great trip, and it was nice that Aidan could play with everyone this time. As you remember, over Christmas Aidan had a form of the plague.

Also, we came to a realization that vacations from here on out, are not going to be quite as relaxing as they use to be. That's not a complaint.

My parents are in town next week.


Aidan did very well when playing with his cousin Lily. Except for the two times he tackled her while hugging.

Seriously, what's the deal with pink?

He got a wagon ride at Nana and Poppy's.

15 Months

Aidan turned 15 months old today. A trip to the doctor told us he weighs 25 pounds, is 33.5 inches tall, and has a normal size head for his other features. He also got 3 shots.

To celebrate we took him to Chipotle and Uncle Mark's office.

This might be the new "birthday" picture.
He absolutely knows how to flirt/ham it up now.

Yep.

And he's eating wheat thins.

He was helping Heather with her laundry and decided to put on her PINK tank top. Ummm, no comment.

4 Years

First, happy 4 year wedding anniversary to Heather!

We took Aidan to a birthday party last Saturday and had a blast.

Aidan is with Gary and Ann, again, we're heading up to Philly this weekend for a wedding.

"Oh, you mean I can hold the food and take a bite."

"But, it's sure hard to talk when my mouth is full."
"Jailbreak!"

"If I can just squeeze my head through...."

"Nope."

Fair warning, most of these pictures are close-ups. Not exciting, but we think they're pretty cute. It's a little strange because in a couple of these Aidan looks like pictures I remember seeing of myself. I guess my parents and Mark can truly answer that.

If anyone with small kids is interested my dad(who has some authority on the issue) sent me this link about Swine Flu. http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/parents.htm

Mischievous!

Little Jeff 1?

We like this one because Aidan is doing something with his lips that he does all the time.

Little Jeff 2?

Aidan In a Box

I missed the best part of this event(imagine a cat in a box), but hopefully you'll still enjoy the video.

Easter Photos

We had a nice Easter. Rashan and Leigh stopped by for brunch.

Aidan is doing two really cute things. First, he's saying "hi." And most of the time it's in the correct context. I'm not sure of the word, but if him saying "hi" is any indication, when he really starts speaking it's going to be....odd? Not the right word.

The other thing he's being doing lately is giving hugs. He literally will put his arms around our necks and squeeze, it's perfection.

The happy family......
The happy dad........

What? Not sure what we did here, but Aidan didn't like it.

That's more like it.

He saw the Easter bunny in the park.

Aidan's Bunny

Aidan's Great Grandmother gave him a stuffed bunny for Easter. He loves it. He loves it so much he won't let it starve as seen in the video.

Sorry, again, for the lack of posts. But I spent the first half of the NCAA championship game last night clearing photos off the camera. I got through 200, there are 500 left. If we ever have a second child, he's going to feel cheated.

Speaking of last nights game, I had a funny memory. During last years game, we were still waking Aidan up around 11:30 for his last bottle. I was giving it to him that night so I could stay up and watch the game. It went into OT, and I got so worried that he'd wake up or that I was going to be late giving him his bottle. Not so much anymore.

My favorite part of the video is the floating gerbil at the end.
