5/12 - Playing with trucks

Here is a quick video of Aiden playing with his truck. I'm exhausted and am going to bed. There is another video which wouldn't load that followed this one. I'll have to see if it will load tomorrow.

5/11 - Brad is gone

Brad left this morning for Norfolk for the week. We already miss him just knowing he won't be home tonight. Yesterday we blew up Aiden's pool. We put it on the deck but haven't put water in it yet. It's still a bit cold for that. Today it's gotten up to 60 degrees but it's not warm here yet.

The above picture is from last night when I made sweet potatoes. They turned out pretty good. We are going to try butternut squash next.

The picture above is from Aiden's daycare. The purple things are the outline of his fingers and the butterfly on the left are his feet outline. Too cute. They are magnets to put on the fridge (except ours is stainless steel and won't stay up).

Aiden decided to get up extra early for us today (5:30am). I didn't appreciate it. He's been really whiney this afternoon and didn't really want to nap. He's been protesting sleeping a bit lately which I'm not impressed with. We are going to go to Target now to get a few things.

Aiden learned how to open the garbage can today. It's pretty full so he got ahold of his yogurt container. I was wondering why he was so quite. I took a picture of his face in the yogurt container. It was even funnier when he put the container down (see picture below).

5/9 - Calvert Cliff hike

Yesterday we went to a Hail and Farewell for Brad's work. It was nice to be able to feed Aiden a little regular food. He got some chicken from a Chick Fil A chicken nugget which was great because we stayed there until 6:15 which is a half hour past Aiden's dinner time. We then had a half hour drive home so we got home, feed him, and put him to bed. I wish Aiden would sleep longer than 6:15am. He went to bed at 8pm last night, an hour later than normal, and still woke up at his normal time.
This morning I picked up sticks in the yard for a while and then Brad mowed the litte bit of grass that we have. Today we hiked at Calvert Cliffs. That is where all the pictures but the last one were taken. The picture above cracks me up because I handed Aiden is blankie and he just put his head down and had this smirk on his face. He did eventually fall alseep about 25 min into the hike (see pic below).

Bronco enjoyed the hike. Aiden woke up on the way back and we took him to the tire playground that is at Calvert Cliffs. They had some baby swings so that was fun for Aiden and Brad!! We bought Aiden a kiddie pool tonight. I can't wait to blow it up and let him try it. Our neighbor down the street has a pool and we plan on going over there once the weather gets a little warmer. We also bought him a little baby float. I can't wait for him to try it in the water. Until then, we put him in it tonight. He liked it until he tried to get out and couldn't. He just got done brushing his teeth. He's getting so many teeth that we have added to our nighttime rituals. Brad brushes his teeth and then we let Aiden try to brush his own teeth. Chewing on the toothbrush feels good for him so he's actually pretty good at it.
