Brad got home last night and it was so good to see him. Aiden even got to say hi before he went to bed. Today was fun. We had a birthday party today for Arin and Aiden and we had lots of fun. Aiden watched daddy blow up balloons this morning as he played with the toy we got him for his birthday.
Arin, Mike, and Arin's parents came over along with Andrea and Brigit. It was a small but fun group. We enjoyed some yummy food and then it was time for Aiden to take a nap. While he napped, we had cupcakes and watched Arin open her presents.
Arin and Mike got Aiden a present and it was a bubble lawn mower. Aiden LOVES it. Brad took it out of the box right away and he was off down the hall with it. 
In fact, he loved it so much that when I grabbed him to do the birthday cake, he threw a fit and cried his little eyes off. He had huge tears coming down his little face. I tried giving him a paci and hugs and he didn't care about that. The only thing that made him better was allowing him to play with his lawn mower again.
Once he got a hold of it the second time he wasn't letting it go (see picture below).
Once we finally convinced him to come try his cake (his lawn mower had to be next to him), he was okay. He was a little unsure of the cake and didn't want to get messy. You can see from the short videos below the progress of cake eating. Brad actually had to pick him up and set him down on the plastic to eat the cake. He went from standing up and eating the cake to sitting down, to taking the fork and playing.Aiden enjoyed eating his cake for the most part. He went straight from eating to the bath!!
After our company left, Aiden opened the other presents that Aiden didn't open on his birthday. His favorite were the Iowa State Football that makes noises and the Gator chomp toy.
Aiden is pretty worn out today. The shots yesterday really wore Aiden out and he has been really tired yesterday and today. Aiden's appetite has been down for the past 2 days and he's been taking longer naps than normal. He has also decided he likes no veggies which is breaking my heart. Hopefully this is just a stage. We are still going to try but he doesn't like a lot of the veggies he was eating just weeks ago.
