Walking!

Aiden walked on July 11, 2009. We were upstairs in the office and I turned around from the computer and there he was - walking across the room. Later that day, I managed to capture it on the camera. He first steps - and he hasn't stopped since!

August 2009 and Summer Vacation!

August was a fun month. We hit the road with the Beggs and headed to New Brunswick. Aiden did very well in the car both there and back. On the way there, he slept most of the way as we did the drive over night. He was absolutely hilarious as we drove through Montreal traffic around midnight. He woke up and just laughed as he looked out the windows at the cars and trucks going by. He also loved putting his hand over his mouth and pfffting - we all laughed at that for nearly an hour! New Brunswick was beautiful and Aiden had a great time! This one below is my absolute favourite picture of Aiden from the trip, and actually from the last year. He just looks like he is having so much fun - and he did. He loved those rocks. He had a little dump truck he put them in. He also had a little sieve that he would scoop water in, then get mad at because the water wouldn't stay in! I love this one too. Everyone was sleeping in the cabin, except of course Aiden and I so we went outside and he ran around playing in the sand and dirt - and loved every minute of it!

July 2009

On to July. I think we had one hot day in July so that's the one time Aiden got to use his pool this summer - and he loved it!

July was also the celebration of 1 year of Cherie's Moms and Tots group - Aiden has enjoyed the company of his friends every week for a year and the group celebrated in grand style!

June 2009

Time to play catch up and think back to what happened in June. It's only a few months ago but in toddler time, its like a lifetime.

Aiden got his first hair cut in June. It was a long time coming, and his mom was having some real issues cutting his curls off but we made it through it, and so did Aiden.

With his hair cut, he really looked grown up, not like a little baby anymore. On the bright side, his curls came back, but Dad took him for a haircut again before they got out of control!

May 2009

I guess I have some catching up to do here. I haven't blogged about Aiden nearly 3 months! Aiden has grown up so much in these few months. He is so playful and energetic and just loves to play. He is very silly - and loves his 3D glasses.

He also loves the doggie - his favourite word. He likes to feed the doggie his dinner and really LOVES to watch for the doggie to come to the back door, often waiting for him and saying "doggie"!

Aiden also got his first haircut recently. As you can see, it had gotten a little out of control.

But after getting the haircut - it is much more in control!
