These two played pretty nicely while the mommies and daddies played Ticket to Ride: Europe and chatted. Thanks, Jon & Danielle, for having us over!
Tonight Aiden played with Naomi, who is about five weeks younger than he is. I was hoping he would give her this flower, but he was more into just waving it around to himself. :)
Naomi was super cute about smiling for the camera, but Aiden just ignored me, lol.
Someone has been very interested in EVERYTHING he can get his hands on lately… cups of water, anything of the dog’s, books, magazines, cords of any kind, tablecloths, laundry baskets, trash cans, you name it! Here is just one of the weird places he has crawled this week…
and the beginning of yet another session of “empty all the shelves within reach!”
He keeps us on our toes, but isn’t he cute?
Last week we were able to make a trip to Tennessee to visit with a whole bunch of family! It was Aiden’s first time on an airplane, and I have to say, he was a very pleasant passenger.
It was also his first time to see snow, but this hardly counted because it was so little, you can’t even see it in the picture. If you look really hard, you can see one tiny flake near his left foot.
Aiden saw his Great Grandpa and Grandma Hanson; Great Uncle Denis & Aunt Nora; Grandma and Grandpa Snow; uncles and aunts Kevin, Emily, Jon, Whitney, Matthew, Stephani, Sarah, and Teresa; and cousins Grace, Anne, and Oberlin! It was quite the party.
Many of these family members he was meeting for the first time, and I thought he was pretty friendly. He wasn’t a big fan of hanging out in the play yard, regardless of whether he had a cousin there to play with him.
In general, they seemed to get along though. :) Can you tell which one is 27 days older?
The four little Snow & Bylund cousins
We had lots of fun playing games, talking, visiting the zoo, seeing some Memphis sights, and just enjoying one another’s company.
It was a great trip, and while it is nice to be home, it is sad to have to go back to work and get right into the daily grind again. Thanks to our gracious hosts and to everyone who tolerated our CA internal clocks and sleep schedules.
Happy New Year! May 2011 bring us all many more great memories!
We had a great Christmas. Aiden especially liked the toy he got that made noise. and bows. and bags. and trying to eat tissue paper. You know… normal baby stuff. ;)
Isaac loves this particular Christmas present… nice glare, right? lol (Isaac wants me to mention that this is apparently his thinking face.) Thanks, Mom & Dad!
Santa and his reindeer…
He was really good about having stuff on his head all day, lol…
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
He has taken to carrying stuff around in his mouth while he crawls lately. I am trying not to be disgusted.
