Let's Go Streaking!

Aidan is such a wiggle-worm lately and it's getting impossible to put clothes and diapers on him. Sometimes he wins the battle and I let him play for a few minutes in his birthday suit (dangerous, I know). I honestly think he'd be happier if I let him go around naked.

Playdate fun

On Tuesday we went to play with some of our friends from gym class. There are four boys (and one girl, but she couldn't make it that day) who are very close in age. They enjoyed eating cheerios off the floor as a group. On Wednesday we baby-sat for Aidan's friend Brooke from church.

Eat at Joe's

We braved the rain Saturday to meet my friend Courtney and her family for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. She and I have been friends since college, long before kids came along! She and Tadd now have twin 3-year-old boys, Blake and Cody. Aidan loved hanging out with the "big" boys! Also, we had a small football-watching party at our house yesterday. I'm including a picture of Aidan sitting on the couch with Daddy and Uncle Cody.

Chicken in a jar? I don't think so....

Aidan tried his first meat tonight. Until now he's eaten everything I've ever offered him, but tonight he had mixed emotions. I had to disguise it with carrots to get him to eat it. I'm sure he'll get used to it eventually. In his defense, the stuff does smell pretty funky.

Lunch Bunch

Aidan and I have been stuck at home a lot over the past few days because it's been so cold and icey! We did venture out today to meet some of our friends for lunch at Fuddrucker's. We invited Tracey and Kaelyn, Sarah and Rhett and Wyatt, and three of our friends from gym class that have little boys. Our seven babies definitely gave the clean-up crew at Fuddrucker's a run for their money!

Little Gym Ceremony

Here is Aidan "graduating" from his Bugs class at the Little Gym, with his teacher Jeff giving him a round of applause. I'm attaching a picture from his first day, when he was only 4 months old, so you can see how much he's grown! We have made many new friends and we'll be moving up with them to the Birds class.

Just some pics

Here are some photos of Aidan around the house being his sweet, smiley self. In one of the pictures you'll notice he is wearing an honorary police badge sticker that a police officer gave him while we were at lunch on Monday. He's taking his new responsibility very seriously! He graduated from his Little Gym class today. He got a medal and everything! He'll move up to the next class starting next week. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera for the "ceremony" today but a friend took some pictures of Aidan and should be sending them to me.

Bathtime!

Here are more pics from the weekend!

Gone huntin'

We traveled to Rock Springs, TX this weekend to see Uncle Marcus, Aunt Jenna, Katy, and Hannah. Marcus's family has a ranch there and it's a fun place to deer hunt and hang out. Daddy's friend Jason also came with us so we had a good time. It got pretty cold outside so the kiddos spent most of the time indoors. Getting all three of them to pose for pictures at the same time was nearly impossible so we did the best we could. It was a very long drive but Aidan did great in the car. He was so happy to be home, though!

Happy New Year!

Here are some more pictures from our holiday, including some from Grammy's camera. Aidan has discovered the joy of babbling, so we hear sounds like "da-da-da" a lot these days. He's pulling up on EVERYTHING now as you can tell! I walked in on him after his nap and was surprised to see him standing in his crib for the first time, so Daddy promptly moved his mattress down that afternoon :)
