Sneak Peek

Last weekend Josh, Aiden, and I went to the neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat.  We did not stay long, but it was long enough to get some pictures of Aiden in his giraffe costume.  He didn't mind having the costume on at all which was nice.  We got plenty of pictures without him messing with it.  When it wasn't on him he loved to look at the giraffe's face. He would look at it like he does all of his stuffed animals, smile, and say, "hi, hi, hi, hi!"

Saturday we were supposed to go to the Fall Festival in our community but it was canceled due to weather. :(  I was so bummed because I had waited all year for it!  We have lived in this neighborhood for three years and have never gone.  Josh and I never felt comfortable walking into the petting zoo and face painting without a kid.  This was supposed to be our year!!  Better luck next time!!

Also, last weekend Josh got Lasik so I snapped a few pictures before he went in.  

Right before he went in to get his eyes cut with a laser. Eeek!  

If you look closely behind the glass you can see Josh on the table with the doctor working on him.  You can also kind of see his eyeball in the TV screen.  Sorry this is the best picture I could get.  I felt like I would get in trouble for taking pictures.  

Next it is my turn.  It will have to be a little while because I need to forget the image I saw when I watched Josh have his done.  I couldn't believe you can sit 10 feet away and look on. Josh said it wasn't painful having the procedure but there was some discomfort for about four hours after.  He said it felt like someone rubbing sandpaper on your eyeball.  All is good now and he can see perfectly (20/15)!!

More fun Fall pictures to come!!

It's rough being a 9 month old!

I must say, Aiden is a busy little boy!  He has a more active social life than I do.  Monday we listen to stories at the old McKinney library.  Tuesday, Aiden and I go to bible study together at our church.  He gets to hang out and play in the nursery while I study the word of God.  Aiden isn't a lover of the nursery yet.  Every time I drop him off he cries and I sit with my friends just waiting to be summoned to pick him up.  It has happened a couple times but not in the last couple weeks.  Wednesday, Aiden and I go to the Frisco library where he sings, dances, and reads books during the "Babies and Books" class.  He was soooo funny this week.  Long story short, I let him free at the end of the class during the free play time and he darted over to a little girl, looked at her dead in the eye, and KISSED HER!  It was so sweet.  We have been working on kisses.  Now I guess we need to work on who we kiss. :)  First Thursday of the month, Aiden and I go up to church for "Moms Group" or have a play date with the friends from that class.  Again, Aiden plays (cries) in the nursery while I soak up all I can from the other moms in the group.  Also, on Thursday we go to the new McKinney library where we have story-time.  It isn't near as interactive as the Frisco class but we like it because we get to sit and listen to a story together.  Friday is our only free day and normally this is our "errands" day but today we just hung out at home because we have a very busy weekend ahead of us.  Like I said, it must be rough being a 9 month old!!

When we aren't out and about Aiden likes to do lots of playing at home. He loves to chase Cooper who wants nothing to do with him.  He loves to eat Cooper's food.  I move it every single day but it never fails that when I turn my back for a second he is over there trying to get it.  Gross huh!  He loves to look out the windows at what is going on outside.

He plays in his little pin and tries to climb out by stacking his toys up and standing on them.

He chases the Roomba around. 

 He finds the puff bottle, bites the lid off, and makes them rain!! 

Pretty proud of himself! 

 He looks out the back window while banging his hands for Cooper to hear him. 

He plays with his cars.

He throws toys from one side of the house to the other... 

He throws the laundry basket off the stairs and climbs them.  Guess it's time to get a gate.  (Don't worry, there was someone there incase he lost his balance. :)

Aiden is such an active little boy and I love it.  I wouldn't have it any other way! :)
