Aiden and the monkeys

We took Aiden to the zoo today and shot a few videos.

Aiden fell asleep playing with some of his new toys.

And later enjoyed some leftover birthday cake.

More Snow in El Paso

Snow in El Paso

Aiden's first real taste of snow, also the first time (and maybe only) time wearing his snow suit. It actually started coming down pretty hard after this and we dashed inside.

We all had a great time in Phoenix with Julie, Norma, Bob, Elliot and Garrett.

Aiden's English

Aiden is a great talker. The only trouble is, 99% of America wouldn't understand him. Here are a few of his strange words....

pobo - penguin

Gee - Curious George

paw - water

tah - thank you

googa - pacifier

hmwhah - marshmallow

kai - ice cream

Update

I'm not working here in El Paso but my life seems even busier than before. Staying home with Aiden is challenging! We play outside, color, fingerpaint, play with homemade play dough, watch movies, watch PBS Kids, read books and play with his toys. We also take naps and eat lunch most days.




Aiden slept in until almost 8 this morning. We watched Sesame Street and then turned on Toy Story. We spent most of the movie playing outside. Aiden is getting tired so he's watching Willy Wonka and reading a book on the couch. I think he'll be going down for a nap soon.





I was reminded last night that I haven't posted a weight chart in some time. Aiden likes to weigh himself on our digital scale so I happen to know he weighs about 29 lbs right now. You'll notice that puts him in the 75th percentile! He was in the 5th at birth!

We had friends over yesterday. Aiden and Christopher had a ton of fun playing and I think I'll have pics to post soon.

Aiden goes for a dip

Here's Aiden at his favorite location on Fort Bliss: Biggs Park. Too bad it closes for the season on Sept. 5 :(

We took this video using our new camera sent by Grandpa Kelly.

Aiden's new haircut

We both think Aiden's new haircut somehow makes him look more grownup. It's also military regulation length. Also pictured: Aiden's new clubhouse, creatively designed by Mom.
