Aiden's First Ball Game

We went to Bridgeport today to watch a ball game. Aiden had his first chocolate chip cookie! We think he had a good time-- Maggie was all smiles for the game, but cried the entire way home. Oddly, it didn't seem to phase Aiden. Enjoy the pictures.

Here is one of our favorite videos of Aiden.

June '10 2

It is almost July and Aiden's summer is in full swing. Most days he and mommy and Maggie go to the beach or the playground to enjoy the beautiful weather. Here is a video of Aiden enjoying a big truck that we rented from Home Depot. Here are also some pictures, one of which shows
Aiden enjoying one of his favorite pasttimes: collecting all of his posessions around him.

Turning Two

Aiden enjoyed his second birthday, spending the morning at the mall playing with his friend Clara and then the rest of the day with Mom, Dad, and Maggie. He had his first ice cream cake along with an applesauce cake. He got to do whatever he wanted that day which was mostly walking with Dad-- okay Dad walking with Aiden on his shoulders to the playground and to the beach.

It's like switch flipped in Aiden's brain the moment he turned two. He is more independent and adventurous; more importantly, he wants things his way. Ah, yes the control freak two year old. Luckily he can say, "Aw, nuts" when things don't go his way whether it's a tower of blocks falling over or a matchbox car that's fallen on the floor out of reach. Unfortunately, he was at a loss for words when he got his hair cut as you will see. Enjoy the "clip" and photos!
