Oh the holidays...
My mom’s Christmas present. Aidan’s hand and footprints. How sweet! This was done when he was just 2 months. Our first holiday photo together. How sweet.Happy baby on Christmas. Weird concotion that Kathy did (Jello surprise!) Aidan made out like a bandit for Christmas this year with lots of clothes and toys. Thank you to everyone that has contributed to his very expansive...
Singing my way into the New Year.
In an attempt to not be cliched or cheesy but still sentimental I opted to provide a 2008 soundtrack. This was a difficult task since I love so many songs but 12 songs for the twelve months. Here it goes: 1. I’m so tired - The Beatles (because I couldn’t figure out why I felt so fatigued) 2. How soon is now? - The Smiths (making the BIG decision with little time) 3. Styrofoam boots -...
Favorite things about motherhood
I was looking at my old post, “Anticipating Motherhood,” and thought I would comment on what my 10 favorite things about motherhood are, so far. 10.

Firsts...

I think I held Aidan for a total of 5 minutes that whole day and it may sound odd but I actually kinda missed the little fella. The funny thing was that he was mostly held by the men in the family - he...
Look at me!
Aidan can now hold up his head for longer than 10 seconds. He really enjoys his tummy time; he kicks, and pushes himself up. Could he start crawling at 3 months? Aidan in his new pajamas from his Aunty Megs with his new friend Elliot the Elephant. How precious is this smile? Is that happiness or what? Us. He totally loves and is curious about the camera - future photographer like his mommy or...
