Pictures for Mommy

Update: Day +59

Kaitlin is our little mommy. She loves to come visit us and take care of Aiden. I like it cause she wears him out!

All she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth :) Hailey just keeps losing all her teeth. Personally I think she just wants the tooth fairy to come and leave her money!

Little Mr. Fatface. That is what I call him. We just had our clinic visit yesterday and he is all done taking steriods! YAY! He is doing so great. All his labs are just where they are supposed to be and he is healthy, happy, and busy. His favorite thing at this point is to go around the room and take all the toys out of the basket, cupboards and drawers, throw all the movies and books on the floor and squish up his crackers or cereal on the couch. So...normal toddler behavior! We couldn't be more pleased.

More Pictures of Aiden

The Ronald McDonald House had a professional photographer volunteer to take pictures of the families staying here and so I had to have some of Aiden taken, OF COURSE :)

We love the Spidey stuff. He now had 3 spiderman shirts, 1 pair of pj's and the hat. Plus a patch and a bunch of wall stickers of Spiderman. I had a guy ask me if we were starting him a little young. But waddya do?

I also wanted to make sure that we had enough documentation of the baldy head and fat cheeks!

This one is my favorite! If you want copies I can email any of these so you can have one! I may be biased but he is the cutest ever! Lookin' good buddy!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Grandpa Larry was awesome and got this tree for us to have here in SLC from the Festival of the Trees. It also came with lots of fun alphabet games and toys underneath that we are saving for Christmas! Thanks Grandpa - we love the tree. Aiden has acutally been really good to only play with the train underneath and not try to rip all the ornaments off (yet!)

And the stockings were hung fron the chimney (or banister) with care...wouldn't be christmas without stockings right?!

This is our penguin. Grandma Rutu brought some of her extra decorations down for us and this is one of the ones we get to borrow. Aiden loves it. It is so nice to have some of the Christmas spirit here. I find that I am really missing being home with everyone right now. Last night Brent and the girls and some of our friends decorated our tree and I was a little sad that I was unable to be there and help.

I can do it MYSELF

So, since Aiden is now feeling better he is definitely developing into an almost two-year-old who thinks everything has to be his way and that he can do everything himself. WE think this is wonderful and only occasionally find it frustrating. Hope you enjoy this video. He made a huge mess but at least he ate all his dinner.
