Some fun at home

Here are just photos of Aiden playing around the house.




I can fold the laundry for you Mommy.

Sewing projects.

With Aiden now pulling up on everything I didn't want him to bang his head too much on things. I know that he is going to do it anyway so to help buffer the pain I made a bumper to go around the coffee table. It seems that lately I am getting pretty good use out of my sewing machine. At least I didn't buy it for nothing.

It's just water under the bridge.....

I should have told her to keep up with the flow of the stream and make her way down river becuase there is not docking at this bridge. First time my mom has seen me since August and after the crap-ass email that I received from her I really wanted to give her a piece of my mind but my cousins high school graduation party was not the right place for it nor was I going to ruinthe party and make a big scene. So in the end when she said that she was still waiting for me to call like I said LAST JUNE, I just shrugged her off. That is when she told me that it was all water under the bridge and that we should just move on. Well I have moved on and she is not part of that. I don't dwell on it. I am not sitting by the phone waiting for said phone call that is never going to happen. And besides the point, she still did not even acknowledge Aiden or show any interest in wanting to hold him. I don't know if it had to do with the fact that my Grandfather was holding him while Seth and I ate our meals and she can't stand him, but even so she never asked to see him or asked how he was doing. You don't want anything to do with my son then I want nothing to do with you. You may not like me but you do not bring my children into the mess.

First birthday here we come!!

Now that I have under 60 days to get everythig planned and the invites have to go out the end of the month. I need to get hopping on finding a theme/party decor. I need to find a place for a canopy tent rental with tables and chairs as well. I did pick out the decorations and placed the order for 95% of the stuff. I also have to pick out the party favors for the kids. This is the what Aiden's first birthday will be decorated with.



Found most of the stuff for the best price at www.birthdaydirect.com and the rest at two other sites, 1stbirthdayparty.com and birthdayinabox.com. My little man is getting so big. Once he turns 1 year he won't be a baby anymore. Ehh...he will always be my baby.

I can't keep up with time!!!

Things are just going by too fast!! This is going to be long to be prepared!

Father's Day
This year we did something different. Since Seth's parents were out in Ohio visiting his sister, Hope, we talked with his brother, Josh and decided that we would go to the Museum of Science instead of just doing the typical morning brunch. Plus we hardly get together with his brother to do something. Granted there wasn't much for Aiden to do because its really not geared towards small children but we still had a good time. Aiden gave Daddy a dress shirt and tie to wear with his suit for the high holidays in September.

Playtime with Aiden
He is all about this Fisher Price Musical Zoo!! Absolutely loves the thing. We also found out that he loves his Animal Parade as well because he can chase it all around the family room.




Camping
This past weekend we went camping!!! Aiden did really well and he got to meet a bunch of his aunts and uncles, well my aunts and uncles. His great aunts and uncles. They all wanted to eat him up. And he did well for the car ride out there. Going to New York was better then the ride back because he was still on he schedule. While camping he kind of got thrown off a little bit.











Aiden's goodie bag from his cousin's birthday party. He drew it all by himself.

Graduation Party
So our whole reason for going out to New York to go camping in the first place is my cousins high school graduation. There won't be another grad party for a while so we are going to have to figure out what we are doing next summer.

Sitting with Gr. Grandpa Fitz

Cake time.

We're on the move now!!!

Ever since Aiden has been on the antibiotics for his ear infection he was been on the move crawling. I think the infection was messing with his balance and he couldn't get the process down.



And the cats don't seem to like it too much though.

Happy Anniversary to me!!!

Yup, 2 years later and it's raining just like it did that day.
