29 Weeks Old!

Happy 29 Weeks Aiden!

Here are some pictures from daycare.

Notice Alyssa's pose in the background

Testing out the sippy cup
I can sit up!

Love you little man!

Happy Birthday Riley!

My niece Riley celebrated her 1st birthday on Halloween day. It seems like just yesterday that we were out trick-or-treating and we received the call that she had finally arrived (of course she waited until right after I left!). One year later, she is an adorable (and very chubby... sorry Rickey) little girl who is always on the go. I forgot how it was when the girls were that age but I guess I better get prepared!

Riley had a Halloween birthday party so all the kids came in costumes, except for mine that is. Riley had the cutest costume by far.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

28 Weeks Old!!

Quite a few blurry photos but cute nonetheless.

Happy 28 Weeks my little guy. I love you!

PS - There will be no Halloween costume photos to share this year. My little ones decided that they did not care to dress up this year. The costumes were too "sprinkly" and "scratchy" to wear. Oh well. Maybe next year. :-)

He loves to splash in the tub these days

27 Weeks Old!

I'm a big kid now!

Aiden tested out his new high chair last night and loved it. He was more interested in banging his toys against the tray and throwing them onto the floor than eating though. :-)

Ronald McDonald And The French Fry House

A few pictures from the blurry camera (or should I say camera operator?)

The weather was beautiful yesterday so we played outside for a while when we got home. The girls were happy to run around and dig in the dirt. They informed me that they were going to find worms, spiders, and snakes. Can you imagine? They are clearly not my children. :-)

Doesn't Kaylee look so happy here? That seemed to be the mood of the day yesterday for her. We were in the car on the way home and she told Alyssa "I don't like you. You are not my friend." I calmly explained that we don't say unkind things like that to each other because it hurts feelings and we want everyone to be happy not sad. Alyssa agreed that she liked to be happy but Kaylee wasn't having it. I asked her if she liked to be happy or sad and she stated very seriously "I like to be maaad." No surprises there little one. :-)

K&A got to see Ronald McDonald for the first time the other weekend. At the "French Fry House." They were very excited to climb on him and check him out.

6 Month Check Up

Aiden had his 6 month check up and shots yesterday. He weighed 17 pounds, 8 ounces (normal range) and 28 1/2 inches long (95th percentile). The doc said he was the length of a 9 month old. That would explain why he fits better in the 9 month clothes already. Other than that, he got a good report and as usual the doctor informed him that he "liked his hairstyle."

He did not like the shots at all. He started crying so hard that he stopped making noise. Luckily, he did not scream all the way home like last time and slept peacefully the whole way.

Weekend Photos

We took it easy this weekend in hopes that everyone would continue to stay healthy. The weekend flew by as usual though.

Kaylee came up with all of these "poses" on her own. She likes to do different poses and then come to see how she looked. We may be in trouble with this one!

FlashBack

The past 2 weeks have been full of sickness in our house. Just as we thought we were getting over one thing, another illness would come along to take it's place. We have dealt with fevers, nasty colds, a touch of bronchitis, and lastly a stomach bug. It was our first experience with passing a sickness around and around and it wasn't one that I care to repeat anytime soon. I know... I know... we have 3 kids so we better be prepared. But, I really do hope we have a break for a few months at least! :-)

K&A both seemed to be feeling much better yesterday evening. It was one of the first days where they went all day without a low-grade fever and they were back into their normal routine of running around, playing, and of course, a little fighting. At one point, I mentioned that they should play Ring Around The Rosy and they were all for that idea. I grabbed my camera and tried to snap a few pictures of them but it wasn't easy trying to hold Aiden at the same time. I managed to get a few pics and as I was looking through them, I was reminded of this post from last summer. Amazing how much they have changed since then. You can still tell they are best friends though.

6 Months Old!

Little Ham

Alyssa wants nothing to do with the camera lately unless she is behind it with me. Kaylee on the other hand can't seem to stop cheesing for the camera. She says "Mommy, take my picture like this" and will do different poses.

And of course I am happy to oblige. :-)
