Xmas Tree Time!!

Today we went and bought our Xmas tree and put all the decorations on. We always decorate as a family and listen to the Charlie Brown Xmas CD(which is my fav!) Last year I bought all brand new stuff after the Holidays so we could make the tree bright, colorful, and kid friendly. Aidan had a great time with the decorations and dancing around to the music. Colin, on the other hand, wasn't too interested. He just wanted to pull on the little bells that are on the tree skirt...hehe

Aidan's Birthday Party

Today we had Aidan's 3rd Birthday party at Pump it Up. He had a great time and so did all his friends. We had a wonderful turnout, about 25+kids. They all got to jump around and then eat cupcakes and pizza. This was the first time we had a "big" party for Aidan and it went over really well.

Silly Aidan

Aidan sure has come into his own. He is such an independent little boy. Last night he got scared in his room. I went in and told him he could come lay with me(Kevin was working) and he said no! I couldn't believe he refused my offer. He has never laid in bed with us, but I thought he would. He just said, "No mommy, I'm ok in my bed." I tucked him back in and he fell asleep. He's also becoming quite the Daddy's boy too. He always wants to know where Daddy is and what he's doing. He runs to Kevin as soon as he gets home and wants to play right away. They have special games that they play and Aidan doesn't want me to be apart of. I'm just happy they have a special bond!

Colin is Standing and Cruising

Well, I don't think it will be long until Colin takes his first steps. His is pulling up and cruising on everything. He loves playing and standing under the high chair. He seems to be quite the little dare devil too. Nothing is out of his reach and he tries to crawl on anything he can. He falls a lot during the day and just gets right back up(after a few tears). There isn't much that stops him.

Aidan is 3!!

Today is my baby's birthday and Aidan is 3. I made him "piggie" pancakes for breakfast and he opened all his presents. I can't believe it's been 3 years since I had him. I remember it all like it was yesterday. We took him to dinner at Texas Roadhouse(his favorite place) with Grandma and Grandpa M. and Auntie Heather. Then we went to see Santa and the Xmas lights at Blossom Music Center. This is our yearly tradition to do on Aidan's birthday. It was a very good day;) His birthday party with all his friends will be on Saturday, Dec 6th at Pump it Up.

Check-Ups for the boys!

Both boys went to the Drs today for their check-ups. Aidan for his 3 year and Colin for his 9 month. Aidan weighs 31lbs, 4 ozs and is 36.25" tall(25th%). Colin weighs 19lbs, 12 ozs and is 28.75" long(75th%). It looks like Colin IS going to be our line backer! They both had to get flu shots and hep shots. Both cried, but got over it quickly. Our Pediatrician is SO great and said both boys are healthy and look GREAT! It's always nice to go to the Drs and get a good report. Aidan is also fully potty-trained now(except bedtime) and we're so proud of him. About 3 weeks ago we stopped diapers and he's been great ever since. He tells us every time he has to go and can go on his own too. I guess one day it just clicks and they get it:) I'm so happy to have one out of diapers.

Colin is growing up too fast!

Colin is now crawling and sitting up on his own. He is also trying to stand and pull himself up. He has a total of 4 teeth now and I can't believe he's almost 9 months. Here are some recent pics of our little guy.
