Wow! Where did 2011 go? I am very behind on this blog - there was so much that happened in 2011 that I have not written about. The thought of trying to catch up makes me anxious, because of the sheer volume of information - it will be quite a challenge to catch up and keep up with 2012 at the same time. So, in an effort to try to not fall behind in 2012, I am going to try to summarize 2011 here. There are so many things to say, so undoubtably I will miss something, but it is better than nothing! Here goes...my favorite pictures/memories from 2011.
Fun with food! Aiden is not a big eater, but he is really good at playing with his food :)
Aiden's first smoothie. He loved it! He loves all things "big boy"ish.
Aiden's first haircut. What a wiggly boy! We learned from this first experience and now we take him to a place with TV's to distract him!
Just lookin' cool!
Learning to brush his teeth. He is too big for the counter these days, so we have graduated to a stool (or distracting him with tickles!).
First trip to the Houston Rodeo. We had a lot of fun! I think this will become a family tradition.
I love this smile! He has a way of lighting up a room when he smiles! He is just too precious!
Aiden had ear tubes put in in March. It was a difficult decision, but after 11 consecutive ear infections and a dwindling list of antibiotics we could try, we decided to have the surgery. Since the surgery we have been free of infections! I am so glad! It was the right decision for him.
Aiden loves spinach and artichoke dip. It is one of the few foods he will eat. I have a VERY picky eater on my hands!
This is the most darling picture of Aiden helping me water the flowers! In the spring we would go out everyday after work/school and fill up the watering can and water the flowers. He is such a good helper! These days he helps me throw things in the trash, put the laundry in the dryer, and lets me know when 'his cars' make a mess :)
My birthday fell on Easter in 2011, so we decided to go on a trip to San Antonio. Aiden was just starting to learn the names of things like 'cars' and 'trees', so he loved being able to look out the window of the hotel room at these things below. He had a perfect view - and we got a cute shot!
While in San Antonio we went to the Zoo and Sea World. This is a picture of Aiden showing me some animal at the zoo. Very cute!
Sticky balls are so much fun!
Sea World San Antonio.
Look out world - I'm learning to walk!!!
Here he goes! No more holding on! Good job Aiden!
First horseback ride, at the Wildlife Park in Alvin.
I want to be just like Dadda when I grow up :)
Aiden and dot-dot. Aiden and dot-dot had a very special bond for quite a few months. Aiden carried him EVERYWHERE! They even had to shower together! He has grown out of his relationship with dot-dot now, but it was quite a special bond for a large part of 2011.
Happy 4 year Anniversary Momma and Dadda! I think Aiden was happy for us because it meant he got balloons to play with! :)
We went to California to spend 4th of July with Grandma, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Steve, and cousin Leland this year. While we were there we went to the Del Mar Fair and rode horses and kiddy rides....
we ate breakfast without a high-chair (gasp)....
and we went to LegoLand. We had so much fun!
I am running out of space for this post, so I will finish the year in "2011 - Part 2". More to come!
