Aidan's sears photo shoot

We took Aidan to Sears for his one year pictures. Grammie Clutter likes to get portraits to chart Aidan's growth. He was a little unsure at first then he fell in love with the strobe light. He kept pointing at it and walking toward it. Very cute. We got some great pictures. Guess my favorite.

Aidan had his first tee-shirt and jeans day today. We had a great time at gym and swim today. He tackled a kid and took their binki, chased a five year old around with a hockey stick and climbed out of the pool to flirt with the life guard. (If this is what a one year old is like I can't wait until 2...)
He is such a cutie. We played outside for a long time between naps today. The flower/weed bed in the back yard is his favorite. (no he didn't really eat anything) Then we sat in the grass and pulled all the heads off of the dandelions. Oh and he runs... alot.

Mother's Day graduation

Ben graduated with his master's degree on Sunday. We decided that after 149 commencements the college knew just how to mess things up. :)After listening to the dean list 200 undergrads names, major, minor, and hometown we got to see Ben get his hood. It's light blue because of Education. Aidan enjoyed playing with the G's during the ceremony and eating lunch with the Clutters afterwards.
We are very proud of our grad.

One year pics slideshow

On Aidan's birthday I took so many pictures I just had to share them. The weather was wonderful and we had so much fun outside. Of course in typical Ohio fashion it's been could ever since and Aidan stands at the back door wanting to go out. He doesn't understand "wet and rainy".

He continues to love all his birthday toys. He parks the tractor in the little people barn, and he carries the race car around the house with him. He actually sat on my lap today and listened to a story! (He's not feeling well...teeth)
We both have been less than our best these last few days. I had minor surgery and my antibiotic is giving him an "upset stomach." He had lots of 'nakey' time today trying to dry out his diaper rash. He perked right up --- he still LOVES nakey time. (Especially peeing on the floor- grrr)

Cinco de Aidan!

Happy Birthday Aidan!!!!! What a fun year! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

The slide show below is long. (Like 100 pics) Thanks to everyone who helped make Aidan's first year so blessed.

We love you all!

Aidan's rockin' Birthday Party

What a GREAT party Aidan had today. Thanks so much to all who came and made it such a sucess. Even though the weather was cold and wet we had a great time. Aidan loved looking at his presents--after someone else opened them.. (Thanks Andie, Max, and Kylie)
The gifts were wonderful, he loves them all. Aidan loved allthe comotion and crowd as well. We wonder every day how he changed so fast from baby to a BOY!
