Aiden in Grandmas Sink

Our bath time routine had to be modified while on vacation at Grandmas house. We thought a good solution to a tub would be a bowl in the sink. It seemed to work for Aiden!



He had a great time splashing the water all over the counters and all over us! Splish, splash baby Aiden!



Snuggling

Cute snuggling pictures...



Boy, we must have really needed a nap!


Funny family! All of the animals needed snuggle time, at the same time!

Mysterious Illness

In November 2010, Aiden came down with a really high fever. As I was taking his temperature the numbers were climbing so fast, 99, 102, 103.5... and then we were in the car on the way to the emergency room. They took his temperature there and it was 106! Wow! They ran some tests and found that his white cell count was extremely high (and some other things that I don't remember now) and decided to admit him to the hospital. For the next three days Aiden and I spent our days and nights in a hospital bed with Aiden connected by wires to machines, having his temperature and vitals taken every hour, and fighting to keep cold rags on his very hot body. They never could figure out what was wrong with him! Even after 3 days of testing. It was a pretty scary experience, but one that I will always treasure. The three days of being confined to a 4x8 bed bonded us like nothing else probably could. Even though it was not the best of circumstance, it is one of my best memories of Aiden!



Aiden, you are such a brave boy! I love you.

So happy together, happy together....




Aiden's First Halloween

Aiden was too young for a costume and trick-or-treating, so instead we had fun at the pumpkin patch and the Fall Festival at Aiden's school. And he looked mighty cute in his festive onesie!



He did not like the feel of straw on his legs!


Cute baby boy with his favorite toy - a ball!


Music time!






Happy Halloween!

Grandma's Visit October 2010

Grandma came to visit for a few weeks to celebrate Halloween with us. We love to see her, but we also love that she takes so many pictures!

Looking back on these pictures now it is amazing how much Aiden has grown! He was still my little baby back in October....







Just looking cute!
