GQ Model

Nick bought Ayden this cool vest. Because he only had on a wife-beater-onsie he looks a bit like a turtle, but we were trying to get him to do the model walk and pose!

Future Soccer Player

Nana has bought Ayden most of his balls and he loves them! In fact, he likes to play with all of them at the same time! He's got a pretty good arm and Jimmy is teaching him to kick and head-butt it too. Who knows what sport--if any--will be his strength.

Puzzle time with Daddy

By the time Jimmy gets home from work, I'm pooped! To give me a break, Jimmy and Ayden have Daddy Play Time before Ayden goes to bed. I totally understand why God designed children to have TWO parents!

Back at the Park

Finally it's getting cool enough to be outside again! Sunday afternoon we headed to the park and had a great time watching Ayden enjoy himself and the other children!

Hammin' it Up

Ayden is officially a total goofball! He does anything to get Jimmy and I laughing. And if he can't get us to laugh, he just laughs at himself!

Ayden's Big Boy Car Bed

Jimmy's boss gave us this cool car bed for Ayden's new room. He won't sleep in it for a while, but he loves playing in his new room and on his new bed!

Catalogue Shopping with Dad

I don't know how Jimmy got Ayden to lay here with him--whenever I try to lay with him he just crawls all over me! They looked through this Baby-R-Us flyer checking out all the new baby gear for about 10 minutes. It's finally hitting all of us that very soon, there will be a new baby in the house!

Snacktime with Audry

Audry is Ayden's friend who lives in the neighborhood down the street. She spent the afternoon with us while her mom went to the dentist. She's three, so Ayden was enamored with her as a "big girl." These pictures may not mean anything to someone who's not the parent of a toddler, but this is Ayden's first snack time NOT in the high chair. Since she was on the bench (where Daddy usually sits) he wanted to be on the bench too! Also, he's getting very good at drinking out of a sippy cup with no lid. Huge accomplishments if you ask me!

More Pictures from the River

It let me post the two pictures below, let's see if it will post some more!


Ayden is all BOY!
He loves to get dirty,
to get wet,
run,
climb,
jump
and wrestle!

If we'd have let him he would have gotten all the way in. But with the current, we thought he'd bust his head open on the rocks! Dadddy stayed close by the whole time.
