Shaving

Daddy thought it was time that Aidan participated in the male face shaving ritual!

Adventures at the Park

Since spring is quickly approaching, we decided to take a walk and introduce Aidan to the park! We started him off easy, we put him in the swing! He wasn't really sure what to make of it, but made some cute noises and smiled! He liked it when daddy went swinging with him. Then we decided to sit him in the grass and in the rocks. He sat in the rocks, picked one up and made an effort to put it into his mouth and decided against it. When we sat him in the grass he really didn't want to touch it, and when we tried to get him to walk he started crying. Poor thing. Maybe next time! I think we ended the adventure on good terms though!

Blizzard

Well, we finally had a test of winter yesterday! It snowed and blowed all day long. We decided to take Aidan out for his first snow experience. He didn't really seemed too impressed. Or maybe he was just upset because he couldn't move in his snowsuit! Oh, well....maybe he'll have more fun next time.

Happy Valentine's Day

Christmas

Yes, I realize I am behind. This is a constant at our home. I came to the conclusion today, that I would rather have a messy house if that means I get to play w/Aidan and enjoy all his exploring and giggling. Worth it to me! Anyhow...we spent Christmas in Boise w/Mema (Grandma Fenton). It was Aidan's first Christmas and he was loved by lots and lots of family! Let me tell you he enjoyed every single minute of it!

He started crawling right before we left, but decided not to do much at Mema's (but boy was he on the move when we got home). He did start pulling himself on any and every object he could get to though!

During my time off, Aidan enjoyed undecorating the Christmas tree!

Wrapping himself up in his blankets!

And helping mommy w/the laundry!

First Airplane Ride

Aidan had his first airplane ride on Christmas Eve as we fly to Boise to see Mema (you'll understand the name if you're a fan of "Big Bang Theory")! I was super disappointed about spending Christmas Eve night at the airport, but we spent the evening together as a family. That is all that matters. So, we got Aidan to go go sleep before the airplane took off (of course it was running late as it had just started snowing & they had to deice it). Unfortunately, when we hit altitude he woke up screaming. Poor little guy, his ears probably popped. So we spent the remainder of the trip (hour and a half) with a happy/grouchy Aidan. I suppose it could have been worse. Thankfully the flight home was much better. He stayed awake during take off and seemed to doing pretty good, but then decided to nap the remainder of the trip! Thankfully both ways were very uneventful!

Santa

Well, he didn't seem scared of Santa, but I'm not sure what he thought! See for yourself!
