He had it coming…

He had it coming…

Don’t get me wrong.  Aidan is his own 4-and-a-half-year-old person.  He has his own personality and physical attributes.  Fortunately — or unfortunately — for him, he has inherited some of those from us. For example, there’s a certain stubbornness that he managed to inherit somehow — not sure from who, though!  His physical attributes appear to go back and forth...

Can we grow up?

Many months have gone by since my last Aidan-related post, and he’s done just a wee bit of growing up! He celebrated 4 and a half years the other day with the semi-annual height check.  Turns out he has grown a good inch or two since his birthday!  I guess we’re going to have to stop putting the Miracle-Gro in his cereal now. He started school earlier this fall, in Junior...

Aidan turned 3 months old today! That’s a whole 1/4 of a year! It’s hard to believe time is flying along so fast. It’s funny to watch him develop. Things that we take for granted, like sitting up straight on our own, are difficult for him. He can barely lift his head at times, but is very determined he’s going to stand up on his own soon! (That’s our overachieving...

So after much procrastination and doing other stuff, I’ve finally uploaded enough pictures that I feel I can turn on the photo gallery.  Especially since I want to show off pictures of Aidan and his cousin Ella (who was born May 26th). Now I have to go back through the past 2 and a half years of taking digital pictures and post the good stuff.  Don’t hold your breath!...
