Hot summer days...

Apparently Aden doesn't like the heat that much...he's been throwing up, even though he's in nothing but a diaper. We have an ac down stairs and one upstairs in our bedroom. So for the next couple nights, Aden will sleep in our room, in his pac 'n play. He sure is teething too, that might be part of it. But were sure it's the heat. He's got all top 4 teeth now, and more coming in on top and bottom!! He's defintly getting around the house alot more too. ANd trying to stand up by the couch and his jumper. Although he hasn't gotten up completely he's almost there. I can't beleive he will be 10 months tomarrow!! It went by way to fast. Well I'm off to try and get some sleep before I hvae to go to work. :( Well try and stay cool everyone....

a little froggy

So Aden's doing great at spending time on his tummy, then sitting up on his own. He gets up on to his feet, almost doing the splits, then wham, right on his tush with a thump. He is also moving around a lot more, he gets on his tummy, and pushs his feet into a frog like position and lunges himself forward. He gets on his knees, but then doesn't know what to do. So he's going to do a little froggy hop to get around now. :) And he's into everything, we have a sleeping bag on the floor, since we have hardwoods, and he thinks it's great if he makes it off the sleeping bag, and heads to the movie rack. And he laughs the whole time he's heading over there, so then we know he's up to something. He also has his top 4 teeth now. He has been a bit crankier/fussy the last 2 days, and I took a peek and they just popped through!! Yeah, so he now has 6 teeth.

I hate that Tony has to work nights. I know it's whats best for us, but I miss him, and Aden too. I don't like that we can't have dinner together anymore, except 2 nites a week, if that. I'm miss paranoid, I don't like staying home alone, with just Aden and Chewy. We don't live in the best neighborhood but we dont live in the worst. It's so hard on a marraige not to be able to spend time together, just the 2 of us. I had a customer, tell me she would watch our baby for a few hours so we could go out, but it would be weird for the both of us. but she said she felt so convicted to talk to me and tell me that, that she started crying in my checkstand!! I can't belive that I would have a stranger offer to sit for us. Don't get me wrong, we have family that will watch him, but sometimes it just feels like it's a burden to them or to us. To have to ask someone to watch him for a couple hours, it's our baby not theres, and were not paying them. I just feel wierd about it. (I've been in a wierd mood lately and the little things are turning into big things and big matters, when they shouldn't. I think I'm being convicted about it.) The little things don't, and shouldn't matter, let them go, but for some reason I can't. So on a good note, in about a month Tony and I, with Aden, are going to go see my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, in Illinois!! My grandma has cancer, and she's doing chemo, radiation and everything else. And I want to make sure she meets Aden, before anything happens. And I wanted to spend time with her, someone is telling me I NEED to go. So we will spend a week with all of them. Then when we get back we will have Aden's first birthday, and then we will be off to Hawaii for a week, then all of the holidays after that. Wow so much is going to happen so fast!! All right, I'm off to bed.

Todd did it!!

Yeah for Jessica and Todd. They've accomplished so much, and been through tough times. And they got married!! Jessica welcome to one crazy family!! I'm so proud of you Todd, you've been through tough times and good times. You are one amazing man. I would have never thought that you would go through college, get your degree, and get married!!? Crazy but I'm sure glad you did it. The ceramony was beautiful. I of course watched from way back, because Aden felt that he need to talk and talk. Of course he was quiet and content before it started. So I didn't get any pics. :( It was also great to see alot of family and friends from high school. The evening went on with festivites and what not, we had to leave early (bummer), cause it was Aden's bedtime and Auntie Heather needed to get back. but we did have a great time. I will say I do miss living in Estacada at times. There's really no one out here to go and visit.

On the other hand, Aden now has his top 4 teeth!! YEAH!! And he is getting up on his feet and hands. I went to go capture him out of bed this morning and he was sitting up, with his hands on the rail ready to pop up and over the crib!! Freaked me out!! So tonight, daddy and I are going to lower the crib down, all the way down!! It won't be too long before he's moving all over the house!!

The top pic is of Aden nice and calm before ceromony. the bottom pic. is of him and Uncle Dan having a serious conversation in their on little world!!

a lil of everything

Well all is going good, except Aden has 4 teeth coming in at once. His top teeth and the eye teeth. He's cranky every now and again, but today it was worse. Nothing seemed to help!! Tomarrow Tony's brother is getting married and Aden is the ring bearer, so I'm hoping we have a good day. at least till he gets down the isle! Other than that he is getting up on his knees, so I think within a month or so, he will be crawling!!

I got a call the other day from my insrance agent, saying the accident I was in 2 years ago, I now have a "suit" being processed. The only good thing, is that if they don't do anything or I don't get served papers by Monday the 13th, they can no longer do anything! Of course everything was paid and dealt with, when this happened 2 years ago!! So were crossing our fingers that nothing will happen or come out of this. We got tickets to go and see my grandparents in a month, I"m so excited. I haven't seen them since our wedding and that fall. So I"m do for some grandparent time and ready to see aunts, uncles, and cousins!! It's hard being so far away from everyone!!

4th of July

fireworks

The 4th of July started out good. Aden and I went to the parade in Estacada, and he watched the whole thing, he was in awe of the sirens and lights. He got bored towards the end, he was also tired. I was cutting into his nap time! Then we went to Nana and Papa's had a bbq and played games the rest of the day. Of course he got passed around, and everyone played with him. We went to go sit in our spot to watch the fireworks and Aden passed out. We figured he would wake up once he heard the booms, since we weren't that far away, maybe 200 feeet. Nope, he slept through the whole thing!! I was kind of sad, i wanted him to see them but, it was all ready past his bedtime. So we enjoyed them, then waited for everyone else to leave, then we made the drive home. So it was a good 4th of July this year!!
