Fun with daddy and the bounce house.

Ayden loves to play with his daddy! They understand each other on a whole different level. Ayden's favorite plush toy he got in Georgia at the aquarium. He hugs and kiss he whale shark often. It is really adorable and I love the softer side of my little man. He tackles it too, which daddy taught him. He enjoys being read to and the other day pulled his rocking chair up to our rocking chair, pulled daddy over to sit and gave him a book to read. He also loves the bounce house we purchased before he was even born. It was a steal and of course it now has a big hole in the seam and we are trying to find a suitable replacement that doesn't cost us an arm and a leg. It was great exercise for him and a great way to expend his energy. If there's anything Ayden has a surplus of it's energy!

Fun with moms new camera

Just some fun pictures of Ayden sleeping with his blankie, monkey pillow and his uncle Greg's book that was passed down to him. I just love how he curls up and tucks in all his limbs. He was also trying on some goggles that we gave him to play with. He is just too cute for words sometimes. I love the pictures that the new camera produces and it's fun learning how to use it. I'm going to take a class sometime this year to learn all of the fun things I can do. Hopefully before the new baby arrives.

New Years Celebrations

We accuired some fun New Year party favors at a playdate and Ayden Loved playing with them!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Day

We had a very fun Christmas. Santa brought Ayden a train table and we had a hard time pulling him away to open his other presents. He still doesn't quite get the idea of opening presents and once he opens a new toy he has to play with it before he will open another one. He loved all of his gifts and has been playing non stop with all of his new toys. We are going to have to put some of the old ones away as it looks like Toys R Us threw up in our living room. We went to my mom and Larry's for Christmas dinner and opened another round of presents over there. We had a truly amazing day.

Pre Christmas Activities

We did a whole bunch of stuff to get ready for Christmas. We decorated the tree, made a gingerbread house (from scratch), and went to the Bellagio gardens to see their Christmas display with the mommy group. We had a very fun December.

We had a very eventful December too. The house is in its final stages of being sold and we are looking at moving at the end of Jan or middle of Feb. I turned 27 and found out that we will be expecting another bundle of joy in Aug (we will know more after the first week in Jan). Aric has been in the training department for the past 8 months and will be going back online as a roving captain after the first of the year. We have a lot to be thankful for as we enter 2010.

Thanksgiving

It was the first year Aric and I cooked Thanksgiving and the first year that Aric didn't have to work. It turned out well with no mishaps! Ayden thought that uncle Jared's Turkey tasted better than his. He was looking over Jared's shoulder like a little bird. Eventually he just started eating off his plate. It was super funny and cute.

The next day we drove to Reno to help Aric's grandma move and we got to see quite a bit of our family. Overall we had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We even got Aric a new TV and free blue ray player on black Friday (an early Merry Christmas.)
