I will have to do some back-tracking after Annabelle's birthday and post some more holiday pics and video, but I haven't had much time to get them edited... We've been too busy soaking up lots of family and snuggles. :-) I am trying to be a good Mommy to number two, and will attempt to post a milestone picture and description each month for Mr. Aiden. So far it hasn't been too difficult- I have a million and one pictures of the kid (obviously-because he's so darn cute) and it's only the third month!!!! lol- We'll see how it goes once he's not napping as much and on the move. It's honestly hard to believe we are already saying "Three Months!" Soon I'll also be saying "Five Years Old" as well... :-( Makes me want to cry a bit... Next year will be kindergarten and then whoosh- I'll be blogging about what colleges AB is considering and Aiden's latest sport stat or accomplishment...
Time really does fly as a parent...
To add to the updates above: Aiden is growing like crazy. Like his sister, his head is very large! He at least is gaining weight much faster than AB ever did. The girl was 18 pounds at age ONE... Aiden and I were on the scale the other day and it was figuring to be 12 pounds... That is a big difference. I remember AB wearing NB and 0-3 well into her fourth month of life. Our little man has some 3 month outfits that don't fit anymore! Big Boy!
We have two very healthy, fun little ones and we're so lucky! Some other memorable moments from the past few weeks are:
Aiden's first Christmas... More on that in a future post.
Aiden's first giggle - directed at his Daddy (he also got the first official smile as well!-LUCKY)
His first real laugh was while watching Daddy in the kitchen drinking from his water bottle. He would take a sip and then make that sound, "AHHHHHH"- after each one.
Aiden would just giggle... too cute.
Annabelle being placed on scissor restrictions... After cutting Sahara's hair! Notice the chunks of hair missing from her fur. That was a big one & what a mess!! We are glad she didn't cut her own hair, or even worse her brother's hair... so for that we're grateful. We are also grateful that Sahara is such a calm, sweet and tolerant dog... She wouldn't hurt a fly...even when getting a really really bad hair-cut.
And... The knife incident that prompted Annabelle to conclude: "Small children should not use knifes and so shouldn't old people because they will cut themself. Let's not tell Dano this, ok? We don't want him to have hurt feelings about that." Our poor Dano cut his hand while trying to open a toy that was heavily packaged. He actually had to get a few stitches!
