Summer Updates - Aiden Turns 1

So it's been a while since I last updated this blog...Im terrible :( , but promise to do it more often. Since my last post on May 4th, Aiden has gotten so big and has been on point with his weight and height. We love to spend time with him. He LOVES going out!! There is nothing better for him, than to be in the car with us out and about running our errands, grocery shopping etc., he loves to check out the cars next to us, the trees, and points out to the sky and anything that seems interesting to him. He loves to walk around everywhere so we put a gate at the top of the steps. He loves playing at the park, his favorite the slide....he never wants to leave. He also got to spend some time with his two Aunts Veronica and Monica since they were down here from Idaho and Utah. I know he always has a blast with them since they shower him with hugs and kisses lots of love. They ended up leaving us at teh end of the summer but we'll see them again when they return in December for Christmas. One of the things that Aiden loves doing is playing with Alex, he'll go the the door and start knocking until Alex opens up and all you can see is Aiden's face light up with his bright smile. We also like to wait for Alex outside at the bus stop, and he already knows Alex is coming when he see's that bright yellow cheese bus pull up. He is such a daddy's little boy everything is Dada or Daddy. He's still not much of a talker just a couple words here and their and now he responds by saying OK...but he's walking all over the place. He loves being sang to no matter if he's eating, or getting ready to take a nap. He's such a good eater. I dont think theres anything that he won't eat, I just hope it lasts.


Aiden also had his first b-day bash, where he was surrounded by all of his loving family and friends. We had orginally planned for an outdoor b-day party, rented a moon bounce for the kids and had tables set up for arts & crafts & face painting and a pinata. Unfortunately, we got rained on BAD!! So we moved the party inside where we had just as much fun. Without the help of my sister-in-laws Veronica, Monica & Brenda.....AND let's not for get Uncle Adam & Mami (grandma). Im not sure how me and Gio would have done it. We had a full house of kids 13 to be exact. But the kids had a blast playing musical chairs, face painting, decorating their goody bags, pin the fin on the shark and other fun cool stuff. And the Aligator cupcake cake was a hit!! I prayed that it would turn out ok!! It took me all morning to make just because I really wanted to get the detail of the aligator skin done right...I was proud I did it all by myself. ..So the following day we had great weather, sun was shining and we were able to keep the moon bounce 1 more day they guy we rented from was so awesome for letting us have it one more day so we called up some of the kids that live in the same town so they could the moon bounce and break the pinata. So Aiden ended up having 2 days worth of fun double whammie. I guess it all worked out for him.

Aiden was taking a few steps here and their but the next day after his b-day he started walking all by himself. Thanks to a walker that he got as a b-day present from his friends Kalie and Taya...THANKS GIRLS!!
