Can we grow up?

Can we grow up?

Oct 21

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.
