Sitting all by himself...

For the last week Aidan has been sitting up all by himself. He loves to sit & play with all of his toys. He has figured out how to put the blocks in the giraffe. At first I clapped my hands & said, "Yay Aidan!" So now he looks for a reaction everytime he puts the block in!

Aidan's 1st Video Game!

For Christmas we got Aidan the Vtech Vsmile Baby. It's pretty much a baby video game system but the games are educational & fun. The controller is really cool with shapes & colors & since he is a little young to play the games, he can just play with the controller. It makes cool sounds!




He's also recovering very well from his surgery! Yay! I took him to the "helmet" doctor yesterday to get his helmet adjusted since he hasn't worn it for a week & we heard good news that there is only 7 milimeteres different. It started out at 12 & 1/2 & has improved greatly! They usually want the difference to be between 3-5 so we are almost there. The doctor thinks maybe just another month of wearing it! Yippy!

Surgery!!!

We all got to go to Primary Children's Hospital this morning at 6 A.M.!!!!! Aidan had to have a small same day surgery and we thought we would post a picture of him in his hospital best. (we both look so exhausted. It's 6 am after all!)
His surgery went well & the nurse was so surprised that he didn't make a peep when he woke up. He just chilled for a while. I was able to go back with him when he woke up & a little while later they got Bryan. The only thing he cried about was how hungry he was. He wasn't too happy that he could only have glucose water & some apple juice. Luckily he fell asleep on the way home & we were able to feed him when he got home. He's been doing well all day - sleeping! Gotta love that Loritab. He is such a good kid even recovering! Oh & by the way he says "Ma-Ma" now. The nurse is my witness. Ok, ok so he's been saying "Da-Da" for a while now big deal!

Ear Infection

We finally figured out that Aidan had an earache & that's why he was keeping us up 3 nights in a row. I took him into the Dr. and as soon as she looked in his ear, he screamed bloody murder! I had no idea that his ear hurt him that bad. I didn't think it was an earache since he has been teething & he was also congested. He's done much better since the medicine. Now I have his surgery on Thursday to look forward to. Chordee repair (boy parts) Hopefully everything will go well & he will recover well.

2008 Resolutions

  • Get 100% out of debt. Put money away into savings & into Aidan's savings.
  • Learn how to use my sewing machine so I can start those projects.
  • Get my house organized & decorated the way I want. Get rid of old/unused furniture & simplify, simplify!
  • Be more supportive to my husband. Give him more motivation so he can graduate this year!
  • Wake up before Aidan. I don't need more than 8 hours sleep even on my sleeping pill. Try to get things done before he gets up.
  • Motivate myself & my husband to eat healthier & to exercise. Try not to eat out so much & if we do, to make better choices about what we eat.
  • Spend quality time with Aidan & teach him everything I can. Be the best mother I can be.
  • Find more time to spend one-on-one time with my husband. Have a weekly date night! Any babysitters???
  • Get going on Aidan's scrapbook & also finish up our wedding album.
  • Don't put off till tomorrow, what I can do today!

Well that's it for now. Of course I always think of more, but this will do for now.

More of Christmas Day...

Our 3rd & final stop was to my parents house. We got there at 11 & decided to eat our tradtional brunch - omelets, bacon, orange slices, sticky buns & sausage rolls. It sure was yummy!


After brunch we opened presents to each other. Aidan was so tired from being awake so early & from running around that he & Gma Julie took a nice nap.


It is also tradition that we play a new game since we are a gaming bunch & we always get at least one new game at Christmas. DJ, Dad & Bryan really enjoyed the new Settlers games.



After Aidan awoke from his nap, he was ready to play! His two favorite toys was the rocking dog that sang jingle bells & a silver bow. Both kept him very entertained.

Oh & since he rolls around like crazy, he also liked the tree branches.

Once we got home, Bryan's mom came over to spend a little time with us. It sure was fun to see everyone on Christmas!

Christmas Day...

Our first stop on Christmas was to see his sister Shan & her daughter Haylee who were visiting from California. It was so nice to see them!


Aidan had fun watching the dogs.

Our 2nd stop was to see Heather (Bryan's sister) and her family.

They gave Aidan the cutest onesie that says "Who's your Daddy?" and has Darth Vader on it. It'll be fun to put him in that.

They also gave him a Turtle Peek a Blocks which he got way excited about. I think because it had so many colors on it & we were all excited for him!




Aidan & Ashley - he had so much fun playing with the bow!
