Me!

August 23, 2003

I was cutting out some pictures for Aeden's godparents/uncle etc. today. Aeden wanted to help, but because I am a mean mommy I said no, but gave him a picture to keep.
So he is running around with it, and brings it over to show me. I ask who is in the picture and he grins, points (with both index fingers) to his belly and says "Me!".
I am so proud. {pauses to wipe tears from her eyes} He then proceded to point out the hair and teeth that were showing in the picture. What a goof.

They measured his height and weight on a regular scale. :P He is 23 pounds, 32 inches (although I am not sure how accurate the height is since he didn't want to stay standing).

Aeden had to get one shot. She came in and he sat and watched her give him the shot, fumble with the band-aid and everything, without saying a word. When she was half way down the hall, he looks at us and goes "Ow". LMAO

We bought him peanut butter cups to celebrate. He shoveled the whole thing in his mouth. lol

Now we are watching to see if there are any issues.

Oh, and the doctor said to give creamy pb only. He also said no raw carrots or raisins.....two of Aeden's favorites.

Loves his alphabet

Whenever he sees any letter, or book or anything to do with the alphabet he gets very excited and says "IEI". LOl He loves his vowels. :)

Mistaken

Aeden got this shortall from Eric's aunt for his birthday. I have tried to put it on him a couple of times now and each time he would get mad and want it off. Instead he would want his jean shortalls. Okay?

So flash forward to today. I need to do laundry. As far as I know all of Aeden's shorts/overalls are dirty. So I get out the white onesie, put it on him, and pull out the new overalls. He says no! I try to explain to him that all his other clothes are dirty. He gets this big grin on his face and walks over to show me that his red striped shirt is quite clean tyvm! lol

With his shirt were a pair of shorts I had missed so that is what he trotted off to daycare with. Apparently I was quite mistaken! lol

Boes eet

Boes eet...what Aeden said when I told him he could go outside to the mailbox with me. Heehee, he meant shoes feet (we always tell him, shoes go on feet). lol

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Gooooooooooooooo

July 27, 2003

We hear this all day long. lol
Aeden will come up to us (usually when he doesn't want to be bothered, or us to see what he is doing) and tell us to "Gooooooooooo" and then point his finger in the direction he wants us to go. If we don't take the hint, he will take our hand and drag us there.

Tonight he told me to go to my chair, and then told Eric to go to his chair. Eric pointed out that he was already in his chair and Aeden clapped for him.

Old McDonald had a Farm

*cue Aeden* EIEIO
And on his farm he had a duck
*cue Aeden* EIEIO
LOL He will add that part for you. Too cute!

Mama? Mama? Mama?

So I was tired and when Eric got back up (about an hour ago) I laid back down. Suddenly I was awoken by the sound of someone rattling my doorknob and yelling "Mama?".

This went on for about 5-10 minutes with the Mama's getting more frantic, and the door rattlings becoming hard to ignore.

Finally I opened the door and said "What?". Aeden looked at me, smiled, waved and said "Hi!". LOL
