Big boy bed!

After a long hiatus we have decided to update the blog. Today Mimi and Poppy came over and helped us move Aiden's bedroom and to setup his big boy bed. Thanks Mimi and Poppy!

As you can see from the following picture Aiden loves his big boy bed

Aiden is finally walking!

Aiden Loves the Pool

Here is Aiden enjoying the pool in Ft Myers.

Bottles are gone

Over this past weekend we went cold turkey off of bottles. After a couple of failed attempts at easing him into just using a sippy cup we decided to stop the bottles all together. Here is the first morning after we stopped the bottles. Looks like he is taking it pretty well, don't you think?

Communication via signing

Aiden isn't speaking yet but he is communicating as you can see below. He is signing for more food by bringing his hands together at a point in the middle.

First Birthday and First Christmas

We had 2 milestones this month. Aiden had his first birthday party and he also had his first Christmas. His birthday isn't until Dec 31st but we had it early so everyone could come.

Thanksgiving Fun!

Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like a little case of roseola. Aiden started having a fever Wednesday afternoon and it was a roller coaster ride after that. His temperature was up and down between 100 degress and around 104. The fever finally broke Saturday night and Sunday morning when we went to give him a bath we found what you see pictured below. Here is some more info on roseola from the mayo clinic.
