summer fun

Aden's doing all right with the heat. Although the other nite, he was up a couple times with Tony. He finally took him downstairs and he was out! But when they came back up stairs, he was up 45 min. later, cause it was really warm up here. So I've decided that he will be sleeping in a onesie from now on. We are going to try and get a ceiling fan and an air conditioner upstairs. Today we went for a walk with Aunt Heather to go get ice cream, he had little bites here and there, and since he's teething, it felt really good on the gums. We've discovered that he likes oatmeal! He's starting to like more fruits, but would prefer veggies. He loves Squash!! His favorite is butternut squash and harvest apples, weird but hey he's eating it. He also loves to watch Sprout! It's on PBS and it's a preschool channel, but it's educational and they speak in different languages and sign language. He's got a few favorite shows, and if we would let him, he would watch it all day. Of course we don't. :) I've been trying to take him outside every evening and sit with him on the swing. Today he just laugh and laughed, it was the cutest thing ever. No one was around just him and me, and chewy. And he was laughing, I just smiled, I'm so blessed to have him. :)

Camping

"Mr. Hollywood"

We all went camping for the weekend. Aden was awesome the whole time!! We took his jumper and he played in that everyday and of course got passed around the camp fire. He slept through the nite, excpet for one nite he got up @ 4 and wanted a bottle. Which is wierd but he wanted it and got it. Aden got the a new nickname "MR. Hollywood". We had his sunglasses on and an sun hat, we didn't want him to get sun burnt since he has fairly lite skin. It was a nice and relaxing weekend for Tony and I as well. We chit chated with everyone about random things, and played games, took Aden and Chewy for a walk, and didn't have to stress about anything. Everyone was great with helping us with Aden, which was awesome!! So we know he will be ready to go camping in about 2 months, which will be the family reunion.

Fun in sun

The last couple days it's been nice, we've been trying to take Aden out as much as possible. Friday I went to my sister's and we put Aden in the stroller to go get Skyler and Destiny off the bus. He looked adorable with his new hat on, sunglassses and of course the paci!! He was all smiles. Yesterday we sat outside on the swing and played with Aden and he loved it!! Just soaking up everything we talked about and all his surroundings. He's been doing ok with the heat, I think he got heat rash though. I really want him to get use to the heat, since we will be going to Hawaii in October.
Friday we are going camping, so I'm excited to see what this adventure brings us. We will be in Estacada, close to our parents homes, but I don't want to go there. We want Aden to camp, cause we do alot of it and want him to grow up with all the adventures each year brings us. It will be a nice and relaxing weekend for us, there's a few other couples going, so we will just sit around and enjoy each other's company and see what the weekend brings. :)

mother's day

My 1st Mother's day was great. Aden and I spent Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa. Heather and I went with mom and got pedi's!! The first one I've had, since I had Aden. It was nice and relaxing and I knew Aden and Grandpa were watching cartoons, so I could relax and not worry about him. Tony's parents joined us for a bbq later and we had quite the feast!! Dad bbq ribs, chicken, asparagus and a couple different salads and dessert!! We gave Aden the end of an asparagus and he chewed on that for awhile. Sunday morning I had to work, so Aden got to hang out with Nana and Papa. Then we went to a family members house for Mother's Day and had another bbq. I got there late cause I had to work till 4. But I did get 2 flowers to plant in the yard and another yard ornament. It was nice. :) Then we came home and Tony took care of Aden the rest of the nite, and just let me relax. Tony made dinner for us Monday nite and it was Delicious as always. He's an awesome cook!! We were watching tv. and looked over and Aden had fallen asleep in his jumper!! He was too cute!!

Today we ventured out with his mom, and got Aden some shoes and sandals. Lets just hope he will actually keep them on!! He loves to be barefoot, he always has his socks off within minutes of putting them on. Aden is in a wedding this summer, so we went and bought him a tux! He is such a stud in it!! I can't wait till the wedding when we see him, "walk down the aisle" (He's being pulled in a wagon). He is developing more and more everyday, he is a sponge to everyone and is taking everything in.

loving life

I was thinking abit today...I don't really know when I got the time, but I did. And I never realized how much of ahelp and what an amzing husband I have. He gets up with Aden every morning, between 7 and 8, changes him, feeds him. And then he falls back asleep on the couch, so I can sleep in, on my days off. Otherwise I'm usually up and gone by 6:45 am. On the other hand, I'm grateful for that but wish Tony and I had more time to spend together with Aden. I leave for work @ 6:;45 am ish. And get home about 1 or so. And then Tony leaves for work and doesn't get home till after 11 pm. ANd by then we are both fast asleep!! We don't want to pay a babysitter and are blessed with the family that does watch him when we need them too. or if they offer. I know it will get better in a couple years or so, but I want it now. :) Anyways I must say I have an amazing husband and a wonderful amazing son, Aden. I'm truley blessed

beach trip

Well we went to Lincoln City for the weekend. We weren't sure how the car ride would go with Aden and Chewy. We all arrived in one piece and alive! We of course had to stop at Safeway and hit the Starbucks for hot water, so Aden could eat. Then we ventured on to the hotel well, we got what we payed for! It was so bad, it just made us feel dirty. We then got everything up in the room and hit the beach, it was sunshining and warm. Never happens at the beach. So I got Aden in the front pack and we were off. He did awesome!! He just looked around and took it all in. Then the next couple days we ventured out and went shopping and went to a couple antiquie shops and drove into Depot Bay. And over all I'm glad we got a weekend away with the 3 of us. It's been along time (well 7 months) since we've done anything. And I must say Aden said his first words. Mama!! I was ecstatic!! And then on the way home he said Papa!! He's getting big so fast!! Oh my, I tell Tony allmsost everyday how blessed we are with him, and that God gave him to us when He knew we were ready!!
