Dare Devil

View Blog

Now most parents would freak out if they saw their baby pulling off this stunt. Matt and I don't because this is Aiden's normal routine. Every time we put him in his high chair he wants out. I have straps but don't use them because he cries and screams and tries to wiggle out so it's not worth it. Needless to say he has only fallen about 2 times and once even managed to climb down all by himself. He must be following his dad and Jacobs steps because I am not a dare devil.

Yes I know his hair is getting long. I have trimmed his bangs but hesitate to cut it because he wont look like a baby anymore. I gotta hold on to my baby as long as I can:)

Before and After

The one nice thing about having your own house is that you can change anything that you want to. The one thing that I hated in my house was the color of my grout in my kitchen. It looked dirty even when it was clean, muti-colored, and dull. It seemed like every other month I was down on my hands and knees scrubbing it-yes it has been sealed.

Matt says that I was obsessed with trying to get it clean. I just wasn't happy with the results. Home Depot told me to chisil out all of the grout and start over again. Man would that be a tone of work! I did some researching online and found out that you can dye grout. So after a trip or two to the Home Depot and a lot of hard work I can finally say that I love it. When I got it done Matt said "Teresa please tell me you will stop after this" and I have. Vaylene has asked me to post it so here are some before and after pictures.

Battle Wounds

Yesterday Aiden had a mishap and landed himself in Primary children's hospital. I didn't see what happened because I was washing dishes. I heard him cry and found him by the fireplace. I am guessing he tripped and fell into the rock or climbed on top of it and fell. Any ways he got 4 stitches along his bottom lip. It knocked his top tooth loose but I think that it will be fine. Poor Matt spent 6 hours at the hospital mostly just waiting for them to stitch it closed. Aiden was a trooper until the doctor wiggled his tooth and then he threw his first tantrum. Matt says he kept taking his juice and hucked it accost the room. They had to sedate him and gave him a drug up his nose that made him loopy. He couldn't walk because of the drugs and that made him mad because he kept falling over.


He is doing really good today. He is back to his old self. Poor Baby!

Happy Halloween

Jake and Aiden had so much fun this Halloween. Jake was tigger and Aiden was a monster from the muppets. And I do have to add yes I did make Aidens costume. I acually made it for Jake but my plan backfired when Jake refused to put it on. Aiden didn't like wearing it eithtter but it was much easier to force it onto him than Jake.

Jake is picking up a few more words here and there. He still calls me by my first name. He won't call me or matt Mom or Dad. All day it Teresa Teresa Teresa. I hope Aiden doen't do the same. Having a daycare where all the kids call Teresa can have some disadvantage. He is almost three and he still isn't talking like I wish he would. I am thinking about getting him checked out because I really think that he should be saying more words by now. He basically talkes nonstop all day but it is in his own laungage. I pritty much know what he is saying because I have memorized his way of communicating.


So here is the scoop on Aiden:

I took Aiden in for his yearly shots and is weight has dropped from 25% into the negitive percentile. He is also short. His little fat rolls on his thights are just about gone and he is looking more like Jakes skinny legs. Oh well I guess thats what he gets for having skinny parents. He loves to get into everything. He really likes it when I tell him no. He cracks up and thinks its a game. His favorite thing to do is get into the t.v. cabinet and pull out the d.v.d's.


Jake is just about potty trained. He is still learning to master the poopen thing. I can't tell you how nice it is to change only one kids diapers.

Happy Birthday Aiden

So Aiden's birthday was a week ago. We celebrated it on two seperate days so both families could be there. Aiden got some great presents and loved playing with the dogs that his aunts brought. He loved his birthday cake and really didn't get too dirty.
































So I can't believe we got this picture. This is Aunt Amy's new puppy. She was going crazy with Aiden and Jake. Then she picked up Aiden's binky and was running around the room with it. It was the funniest thing to see.

Babysitter

So I thought that this was funny. Aiden has already taken an interest to watching T.V. I have a dvd the kids call silly songs and he will plop himself down and watch it. I can hardly stand the dvd so its a real treat when I get it out. Aiden is walking really good now. He can almost walk across the room with out tipping over. He has beat Jake by walking a month earlier.

Sponge Bob

The other day the little 4 year old that I watch told me that Aiden looks like Sponge Bob Square Pants. I just about cryed. His two top teeth have finally popped out and he is much happer about that. As for the sleeping thing. . . well I have had it with him still wakin up 1-2 times in the morning so he and Jake have swaped bedrooms. I feel terrible about it but know that it is best for the both uf us. Aiden sleeps downstairs so if he cries I can still hear it but ignore it. Jake is sleeping next to our bedroom and loves it. Before I had to have Jake sleep in my bed for nap time becuase he has bit some kids in the past. Naughty Naughty! It was so hard to get him to take a nap it would wear me out. Now he just goes and gets in his bed and takes his nap. It is so nice. Aiden is getting close to walking. He can take one and a half steps and then he is down. It is so much fun to see him do this.

A couple of days ago I put Aiden in his crib for a nap. After his nap he woke up and started to cry. I was busy doing something so I let him cry for a couple of minutes. By then he was really screaming. When I opened the door I found him on the floor! I can not believe that he flipped himself over the bar. I never thought that he could do this. I immediatly lowered his crib a couple of notches. I guess I am writing this to all my friends and family who have a little one in a crib. Don't wait like I did.
