Sunny trip to Lincoln City!!

Beach!!

We went to Lincoln City this weekend, with Tony's parents and brother, wife and Kaylee!! We had a blast. Aden loved to run on the beach and play in the sand. The first day he wasn't that into though, and he didn't want to touch the sand. Today, our last day, of course he was into, picking it up and giving it to Either tony or me. And he just ran and ran!! We of course went and did some shopping, got Aden a few new summer outfits. Played domino's with the adults and just played around. We did take our time coming back though, we didn't rush, and even ate lunch at Mo's before leaving town. That was nice to, Aden had a full belly, and slept all the way to Woodburn, then we stopped and got ice cream, since it was so nice out! And it was warm in the car. All in all it was a great trip and a nice getaway!!

18 months!

Aden is 18 months!! Time has flown by!! We took him to his checkup today, he is 23 lbs and 30 1/4 inches tall!! Still has a big head! And everything looks good. The one thing the dr. was concerned about is, he isn't talking or saying as many words as he should be. He really only says, mama, dada, and owie. Once in awhile he will say Nana and papa. There going to send us for a hearing test, just to make sure all that is good. Although being a mom, it concerns me. He responds to everything we say, or have him do. Like telling him to get his shoes/coat so we can go bye-bye. And we have never talked baby talk to him, nor will we let anyone. so I'm hoping everything turns out just fine and he just starts talking away one of these days. We are going to get out flashcards and Tony's going to start working with him in the mornings, he's on vacation next week. :) Other than that we have a healthy and happy 18 month baby boy!!

Easter

This was Aden's second Easter, but technically the first one he will remember. We got him Elmo eggs and we put Teddy Graham's inside so they would make noise!! He had a blast looking for 6 Elmo eggs, I didn't hide them very hard. But we really didn't get him anything. We decided were going to the beach next weekend, we will get him a few special things there. We did go to my parents house and the kiddo's had an egg hunt there, and they each got money, which was awesome, so that will go into his account and he got a bunch of banana's. He was so excited for them too!! That boy loves his fruit!! Then we went to the Allen side, where he got a wheelbarrow. a hoe, shovel, and rake so he can help daddy in the yard!! And then we had a delicious ham dinner! :) All in all it was a busy day but a fun one!! Aden is now doing this weird thing where he will walk on his tippie toes, and has a limp to go with it. lol it's way to cute! And he's always hungry!! That boy is going to eat us out of this house!! I think he's going through a growing spert. I know he's lost some weight, cause his 18 month pants are too big on him now. I went out and bought him a belt. :)
