Funny Stories

Sorry no pictures but I had to tell you all about the cute little boy I have.
Sunday we went to the Grape Jamboree with Grammy Clutter. Aidan saw his first parade. He loved the fire trucks ("car") and the classic cars. He danced with the Bands and Drum Corps and waved at the twirlers. Grammy (who spoils him alot) got him a balloon. It's huge... lots of fun to fit in my trunk.

When we got home Aidan fell in love with his "boon" (Yep, I have no idea why he picked up that word but won't say Mama) He played with it all afternoon. We tied a John Deere Tractor card to the string. Now he can get the Balloon for himself. He looks at the balloon and says "Boon", then looks at the tractor and says "Car"... sigh.
After dinner and a lively game of chase-peek-a-boo (best game ever) I told him he needed to go to bed soon. The little cutie popped off the couch and ran into the bedroom. I followed him and he held his arms up to be put to sleep. (I have decided that this is normal and all my babies will do this- so no need to post and tell me they won't :)

This morning after he was done talking to his bears (that's how he wakes up- no crying) I went in to get him. He looked at me and said, "up, boon" he was so excited to play with his balloon he didn't nurse. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that.
He is having "quiet alone time" now as I type. I think he wants to give up his morning nap but still needs crib time. What a cute little bug.

At the Zoo

I got my camera back this weekend- someone left it at Grammies...
Aidan and I went to the zoo with Uncle Chris. Aidan ran around like a toddler, so did Chris.

All the animals were either "Cat" or "Dog". We had a blast.

Shantelle's "other" Shower

August 25th, 2007 was Shantelle's wedding shower. I was thinking about how much changes in a year and thought I'd share some of the pics with y'all. Abby is a little younger than Aidan was then... Aidan is now as old as Andy was then... And Kylie is almost 2! Happy Early Birhtday Big Girl!

Aidan's so big

What a differnece a year makes.

Lake George

We went to Lake George for a Labor Day picnic and fun fest. On the way there we stopped at Football practice. While Ben did his thing we went to the awesome playground. It's so worth the drive. Aidan loves the slides and "driver" (Steering wheel) He is especially in love with the water park. They call it a "Spray ground" he had a blast. He's been there before but what a difference a couple months made. He is so much more into water this month. He ran around to all the fountains and splashed them all.
After a short nap it was on to more fun. Aidan gave his first kiss away.. and not to me. He kissed Madeleine. So cute! He loved her hair and all the fun noises she made. The boat was also fun. We had a great time visiting everyone. Aidan and I even got our hair cut. (Thanks Beth)

Right before we left Aidan and Uncle Ben played an awesome duet on the piano. I took some pictures. I think they are super cute. Then today I realized they are the only pictures I took. Oh well.

Aidan has grown so much over the last month. He can climb on everything-- including his window sill (not sure what I am going to do about that) He loves stairs, doors, trucks, balls, and of course his cats. He also tells the dogs to "down". He tries to say more words every day. Today we are working on Llama- His September picture on his calender. he says "la la...dog"
New this month-- screaming when he gets excited and mad. The happy screams are cute.... the others... not so much. I can't wait until he can tell me what he wants/ needs.
