Just playing around

As you all know Ethan has a "little" bit of energy. I try my hardest to stay as busy with him as possible. It's hard to keep up but if I can wear him out then it means he gets a nice nap. If we are not dealing with his speech or occupational therapy we go to or have play dates. If that doesn't work, then there are always the play areas at the malls. Not exactly my favorite since they are infested with sick kids but.....what are you going to do? Hide your kids from germs forever? Not to mention it's a place he can run around like a wild man even if it's raining out. Here are a few pics I took from my cell phone while bouncing Aidan on my knee:)


Ethan enjoyed climbing the bat and sliding down it.
Where is Ethan?
What a cutie!
Ok, well this one wasn't taken at the mall but I thought I would add it. Ethan giving Roger a message:) It feels so good to have him walk up and down your back.
One last pic. Aidan loved wearing Kaleigh's 1st birthday hat. It's sad to know we are more than half way til his 1st birthday:(

Ethan and Aidan at 6 months old

Alot of people think that Aidan is starting to look more and more like his older brother Ethan. After looking at this pictures from when they were(are) 6 months, I am not seeing it. LOL! Then again some people think one child looks like Roger and that same child by someone else is told they look like me?!? It's amazing how two kids from the same parents can look and act so differently. They say not to compare your children and I can see why. Ethan was a very, very active child who was crawling at 6 months. Aidan is active but not overwhelmingly. He sits up and reaches for toys. He attempts to swim on the ground but no crawling. He prefers to sit in his Mommy's lap. What is the same is how fast they grow. It's so sad to know that I am 28 yr old with a 2 yr old and a 6 month old. I wish my babies would stay young forever!

My cute two boys!

Still no camera:( Not sure where I miss placed it!

Ethan is really starting to interact more and more with Aidan. He likes that he sits up and plays with toys.....and he makes funny little noises. Aidan LOVES his big brother. He watches him run around the house. He smiles when he enters the room. He loves to "get" his brother which includes a grab, an open mouth kiss/slober attack. They really are too cute to watch. It's been worth having them a little less than 20 months apart.
Aidan is such a happy baby!

They are so cute playing together.
Aidan is such a big boy. He weighed in at 18lb15oz (over 75%) 26 2/10" (50%) tall
Sweet smile for a little boy who has his mouth full.

I Believe....

I normally don't read forwards but I woke up this morning and my Dear cousin Heidi had sent me this one. Each phrase may not pertain to you but I hope that one does. It brought a smile to my face and made me realize that I need to start my day with an open mind, be optimistic, and be happy for what I've got. Enjoy!

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.A Death Certificate shows that we died. Pictures show that we lived! Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly. I Believe... That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.And just because they don't argue,it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I Believe...That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I Believe...That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.. sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,but, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything.'

Camera

I know it's been awhile since I've put quality pictures up. I can't seem to find my digital camera. That is why Aidan's 5 month pics where from my camera phone. I should be able to post some real cute ones soon. On wednesday I am taking the boys to meet up with our friends Kim and Ally. I hope the boys cooperate:)
