More Birthday Pics

Papa's birthday is a few weeks after mine so we both got our own cakes and he helped me blow out the candles.

Mmmm cake ...
I didn't actually eat much of the cake because I was pretty full from my hot dog but it was fun to squish around

My two biggest fans

Opening presents....cool bath toys


Thanks for all the presents


We would like to extend a special thank you to Uncle Tim for doing all the grilling - Thank you so much for your help!!

Birthday Pics

So as most of you probably know Aiden turned 1 on August 31st. I can't believe how fast this year had gone - it seems like just yesterday that our little guy was just a little peanut and now he is 20lb, 30in crawling machine. We had his 1 year check this week and they said that everything looks good. He is catching up on his motor skill and the doctor doesn't think that we need to get him any special help. He also got his 4th tooth this week - which we like because now he doesn't look so lopsided :)

He continues to be the light of Aaron and my life - amazing us with his cuteness everyday!!

As for the 1st birthday party, we held a BBQ at Nana and Papa's house (THANK YOU NANA & PAPA!!!). It was a really good time - lots of friends, family, and good food. Thanks so much for everyone for coming and celebrating with us!!

Trouble

Although Aiden isn't walking yet he still manages to get into plenty of trouble. Our newest trick is to open computer desk and reboot the computer :)

"me? trouble? no way!"

"look mom I can get my bath toys out all by myself"

(Aiden is suddenly terrified of the bath tub. He always loved his baths but this past week he will not sit down in the tub, he just stands at the edge and clings to me. I have tried getting in with him but he still doesn't like it. Any advice??")

"hmmmm how does this work..."

Weekend Vacation

This past weekend we went on a mini vacation with the Shelle fam. It was the first annual Shelle-Sheridan-Hughes weekend (the Sheridans & Hughes are long time friends of the Shelles). Even though Aiden was fighting a pretty bad cold we still had tons of fun; the weather was beautiful and the company was great.
