14 Months Old!

At 14 months old, Aiden is quite the athlete. He loves to throw everything (yesterday at an open house in someone’s backyard, he was getting a kick out of picking up and throwing dirt clods), climb on furniture, and kick balls around while chanting “Ball.”

He is getting heavier to carry around for long periods of time, but still not quite 20 pounds. He enjoys sitting for longer periods of time (sometimes) to read books, but he is mostly pretty active.

He LOVES fruit of all kinds, especially strawberry lately. I am getting used to the need to regularly treat food stains in his clothing.

well… he loves fruit of all kinds… except kiwi. Crazy kid.

He has started coming to me just for a hug sometimes, and it always makes my heart melt.

He is a singing and dancing machine… he loves to do “the diaper dance” whenever he hears music, and he sings along with the hymns at church, the radio in the car, or when he hears one of us singing. It sounds sort of like a loud “ah” varying between a few pitches, but it’s cute.

Happy Mother’s Day!

We had a very happy Mother’s Day here with church and flowers in the morning, naps in the afternoon, and steak and pie in the evening.

This little man makes our home bright and fun, and makes me happy to be a mom!

(note Sophie’s nose in the bottom picture. She wasn’t sure Aiden was safe like this.)

Try not to be jealous

Brooke brought me a chocolate frog from Harry Potter World. It came complete with (holographic) trading card: Godric Gryffindor.
