7 months!!!

We went and got pictures done today. I meant to do these at 6 months, but I didn't get around to it. We went to Portrait Innovations. For those of you that have one of these in your town they are great. Very affordable and you only have to buy a few of them and then they give you the CD with all the pictures they took. I'm not a fan of some of the backgrounds they chose, but you can do the neutral ones and they look lots better. Here's a few of my favorites:


Cute little laugh...

Acting goofy...

Sweet little smile...

I don't like the background at all in this picture. We didn't order any of these, but I just loved his big smile in it. I wish it would have been on a normal background...

The beginning of the big fall that ended the photo session...


Our little man turned 7 months old on Friday! And oh what fun we have been having lately. Here's all that Aiden has been doing:
1. Rolling all over the place. He is one active little boy. The days of just putting him somewhere and he stays there till we move him are over.
2. Teething.......two words come to mind-Not Fun! Some people tell me that when their babies were teething they never even knew it. Well not this guy! His two bottom teeth have come in and he has let us know about it all.
3. Loves to go on stroller rides. He is so content when riding in his stroller. Now that the weather is nice hopefully we can go on lots of walks.
4. Loves to eat (I don't see that ever changing). His favorites are still sweet potato and pears, still not a green fan.
5. Loves Hercules and Boo. He can sit and stare at them forever, which is good for us.
6. He still loves his sleep, but he is an EARLY bird. We try to put him down around 7-7:30, but some nights it's later depending on what's going on. It doesn't matter what time we put him down. though, he usually always wake up around 5:30. We might have to be changing that soon.
7. Loves to talk. Some mornings I hear him in his crib just talking away. It's pretty funny. We swear he's saying "Dada" and "hey". Like if he's looking at you and you're not looking at him he'll say, "hey". I promise.
8. Definitely knows how to pull one over on us already. Last weekend we were traveling and he had been in his car seat for a while. Well he decided he was sick of being in there so he started throwing a fit. When I could finally take him out of his car seat he just started laughing! There was nothing wrong with him, he just wanted out of that thing!


Well it has been a long 5 months since the first day I dropped Aiden off at daycare. But I am happy to say that in two weeks those days will be over!!!! That's right, I'm staying at home with the little guy. I feel like every week he is changing and I just want to be there for it. I can't stand the thought of missing out on anything. We have been praying about it and everything has just fallen into place. I feel so blessed. So only two more Monday's of waking up at 4:45. I'm definitely going to have to teach Aiden how to sleep in...

Happy Easter!!!

We had a wonderful Easter. We're still trying to recover from all the traveling. Thursday afternoon we headed to NLR to see my family. We only got to stay until Saturday morning and then we were off to Memphis to see Jonathan's family. This was one of the only good pictures we got of Aiden in his Easter outfit because we went to the 7:00 a.m. service and we were all so tired when we got back from it that we all took naps. We are going this weekend to get some pictures "professional done" so I will post those. You can't tell but his little polo he had on has alligator's on it and there are also alligator's on his hat. He did have on shoes, but those never stay on long!

Lovin' it...

After I picked him up from daycare we went to Target and Aiden is loving riding around in the buggy. I put his little cart cover on it and he has so much fun. It makes going out even easier.

Best Friends...

This was the scene when I pulled up to daycare yesterday. How precious are they?!?! Aiden's teacher had him and his girlfriend Madelyn out on a stroller ride and they fell asleep together. I was so glad I pulled up when I did and that I had my camera with me. It was priceless...



Aiden was excited that I was there to pick him up....can't you tell!

Catching up......

Sorry I have not been good about posting lately. Last week I was sick and Aiden had two ear infections. This past week.....well I don't really have an excuse for that. It snowed here a lot last Saturday but this is as close as Aiden got to the snow. (He's sitting on our bed looking out the window!). I didn't want to get him out because he had two ear infections so we just let him look out the window at it. I did bundle him up like he was going to go out in it, though!
