Dad is out of town....

Since Dad is out of town, Mommy took me to the park to cheer me up a little bit. I sure do like the swing. I really wish Mommy would have put me on the slide, but she kept telling me that was too much work without Daddy there with us. Can't wait to see you tomorrow night, Daddy!

I love food!

I just got done eating a snack. I ate about four times as many grapes as you see on my tray there. I like grapes almost as much as I love blueberries. Thank goodness since blueberries aren't always in season!

Big Head

I have a big head, but I love to put anything on it that will fit. Today I was playing with some tuperware. Check out this video!

Hayride and Bonfire

Holden's parents hosted a bonfire and hayride. I really liked the first half of the hayride, but then I just wanted to eat the hay or take handfuls of the hay and throw it. Mommy finally gave in and let me chew on the hay, just like cowboys do! I also liked checking out their John Deere mower and all the little kittens in the barn. I kept very busy as there was so much stuff to look at.

I see a fire truck....

I just wanted to thank Grandpa and Grandma for my fire truck. I love playing with it and I love when people push me around on it. I just can't wait until my legs are long enough to actually motor myself around the house on my fire truck!

Bath time

Though you can't tell by looking at these pictures, I've been feeling a little under the weather and teething on top of that the past couple of days. Allison gave me a bath tonight to help bring my fever down a little bit. I hope I sleep a little better tonight (so do Mommy and Daddy)!

Bathtub

I like my bathtub even if it's not in the bathroom, not filled with water, and well...upside-down.

New toy box

So I have a new toy box, but sometimes it's hard to find the toy I'm looking for....



Oh...there it is!

Cicada

This insect was on our pergola making LOTS of noise. Daddy didn't believe us when we told him that it was the loudest insect we'd ever seen/heard before. Mommy took a picture so we could try to figure out what it is. Thanks Joe for helping us idenitfy it. It is a Cicado. I guess we were blessed to have seen it as they only live 30-40 days and they only hatch about every 17 years! Also, they are the loudest insect there is. You can hear it up to a half a mile away.

Getting what I want

Step 1: Get self into chair.


Step 2: Get a hold of pack-n-play.

Step 3: Go head first into pack-n-play.

Step 4: Smirk at Mommy knowing that I can do whatever I want!

Nobody messes with the Aiden

You mess with me and I'll eat you! This ball made me mad. You see what happens.

Watch me go

Here's a video of me out in the front yard that Daddy took. I am showing off my new found phrases and action. If you listen closely enough you'll here me say "dad" and "hi".

11 months

For my 11th month birthday, Mommy decided just to let me eat how I wanted - ALL BY MYSELF! Daddy made pasta with tomatoes and basil for dinner, and guess what, I liked it better than Mommy did! I really like tomoatoes but they need to be cooked just a little bit so they are softer. I think I ate about as much food as I got on myself. made such a mess that I went straight to the bathtub after dinner.

Portraits

Grandma and Grandpa helped Mommy take me in to get my portrait taken. It was a lot of fun. I was really hamming it up for the camera. I'd crawl aways, and then I'd stop and pose for the camera. This first two shots are groupings that the portrait studio did. The others Mommy put into groupings so it would be easier to view on the blog. I can't wait until we get the actual photos next week.

Super Rub a Dub

Allison came over to visit and we played some Super Rub a Dub. The last picture is me while I was playing. That was a lot of fun!
