He's finally starting to feel better:)

2/25/09: First mashed potatoes. I think he had more fun smearing them into his hair and eyes than actually eating them!

He's not feeling very photogenic today. Bless his heart :(

Further proving he is indeed my child, Aidan did NOT like his first taste of watermelon today.

What a pitiful face. He's not feeling well. Could be a cold, could be teething...time will tell. He just wants to be held, which I'm not complaining about. I just want him to feel better:)

Standing is much cooler than sitting.
Many thanks to Lucas and Nathan for letting us borrow this fun table for a while! Aidan loves it and is having fun figuring out how all of the bells and whistles work!

Last night I fell asleep at 9:00, so I didn't get a chance to post yesterday's pictures.

This boy loves his daddy!

Tonight we went to Texas Roadhouse with Grammy & Granddaddy Ludwig for Aaron's birthday. They brought out a saddle for Aaron to ride on and Aidan took the opportunity to climb on with his daddy. All was well until the whole restaurant shouted "Yee-haw!"...it scared Aidan and he started screaming! It was definitely reminiscent of my trips as a baby to Casa Bonita. I hated the guitar player and would scream anytime I saw him!

Not terribly thrilled with the zucchini Mommy had just fed him for the first time, Aidan chose to rub it in his hair and eyes instead of eating it.

For those of you who don't know my friend Missy, let me take a moment to tell you a little bit about her. She is a wonderful mom to sweet Sophie, and every day I learn something new about mommyhood from her. She is also one of my knitting girls. I use the term "knitting" loosely, because mostly she watches the rest of us knit. That's why the sweater Aidan is wearing in this picture is so special...it is a one-of-a-kind Missy creation. An actual FINISHED project:) Aidan and I are honored to have received this gift, and even more honored to call her our friend. We love you, Missy!

Valentine Party

Today was Aidan's Valentine Party at Kindermusik. He loved seeing all of his friends, opening his Valentine bag, and finding fun stuff to play with! I think his favorite part was the bag that everything came in:)

Daily Aidan


First butternut squash. Yummy!

TOnight, we went to Aidan's first basketball game - his cousin Kyle was playing. He LOVED it - didn't make a peep the whole time - just watched back and forth, back and forth!

Today we took advantage of the almost 70 degree weather and played outside. We had a great time! Aidan loved watching cars go by, rolling the ball, and looking at the birds.

Mr. Handsome - thanks Melissa & Brent for this darling outfit! I can't believe he's already big enough to wear it!


First time with "poofs" - it kept him busy for a long time. He is getting really good with the pincer (thumb + forefinger) grip and was a natural at feeding himself!

No longer content just laying underneath his jungle gym, Aidan now enjoys seeing his friends at eye level. Oh and chewing on them too.

First asparagus today...not successful


We let Aidan predict the winner of the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, he wasn't right this time. Maybe next time!
