The Invite...how fun!


Well the big bash has come and gone...and I am still left here saying "Aiden is one year old now"! I am amazed by how quickly this year has come and gone...our parents were right when telling us that the years fly by. Aiden's party was a huge success and we enjoyed having our family and friends there to celebrate with. The weather was beautiful thankfully since we ate outside in our tent and we could all take in a little sunshine! Aiden really enjoyed having all the people to admire and show off his new cruising/crawling skills to. I was so thankful that he took a great morning nap and was able to make it through the afternoon and even into early evening without one meltdown. It was fun to see him rip some paper from a few gifts and really get into his cake after a few minutes went by. I think the thing that amazed me the most was that not more than a few crumbs of his chocolate on chocolate cake got onto his white onsie. I must say he IS my child, being a huge clean freak you all know what I am talking about! We are just so thankful that mostly everyone was able to make it and enjoy Aiden's big day and we are so grateful for all the wonderful gifts that Aiden received. We had our 1 year check up last Monday and Aiden was such a trooper getting 3 shots and his blood drawn to check his clotting factor. He didn't even react to the finger prick after his other shots and the nurse was so shocked as to how well he did. You all know what a great baby Aiden has been and what a layed back personality he has! I was so glad he wasn't even fussy by time we got home and has been his "normal" self this week. We are working on 2 more bottom teeth, and his top K-9's are swollen. We also took Aiden to get his feet measured and he is a 3 1/2 and a little on the wide side. We have been lucky since summer has been here and being on the boat no shoes were on our little man but with fall upon us we figured we needed to start looking into walking shoes. I can't believe the milestones that are quickly approaching and look forward to everyone of them! Thanks again for everyone that was able to make Aiden's First Birthday and for making the day wonderful for his mommy and daddy as well!

I love his chubby little feet... How fun that you now have to shop for toddler shoes that he will be walking in!
