Sneaking treats:)

I made these treats with pretzels and kisses and M&M's and Mr. Dude loved them!! He even pushed a chair up to the counter to sneak some more:)

He's so cute!!!!!!!!!!

4 year and 18 month checkups

A week ago, I took Jordyn and Aiden for their 4 year and 18 month check ups. Jordyn was a little nervous but she was a good girl.....except for the fact that she didn't even want to step on the scale:) Jordyn is 3 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 36 pounds 6 ounces! She is in the 40th percentile for height and if she stays at this pace will be about 5'3 or 5'4 and is in the 60th percentile for weight. She ended up getting her Kindergarten shots since she is going to start school before she actually turns five. That way I wouldn't have to take her in for an extra appointment to get those taken care of. She is all set. She fussed a little but was a brave girl.

My 4 year old Jordyn is such a sweet thing. She is super shy except around her family and close friends. She loves playing with her figurines (especially her strawberry shortcakes) and plays very well by herself. She loves to play with her sister and sometimes with her little brother. He tends to ruin her little play time than plays with her:) She hates wearing shoes and would much rather go barefoot. She gets her shoes on and then kicks them off as soon as she gets in the van. I've learned to just bring whatever shoes she is going to wear and put them on her when we get there. Jordyn always says "uh huh" when you ask her to do something. It's hard to translate into words but the way she says it is adorable!! She is such a precious little girl and so loving!!

Aiden was such a good boy and so brave. He was having a great time just running around the room and screaming at the top of his lungs (his favorite pasttime:) Aiden is 33.5 inches and 24 pounds. He is in the 26% for his weight and 84% for his height and 70% for his hat. Doc said he was as tall as a 2 year old. Aiden also got two shots He usually just cries for a second and then he's done. I didn't watch the nurse do it. I just looked at his face and he was all happy go lucky one second and then big lips come out the next. He is so cute.

Aiden is definitely through and through a boy!!! He runs circles around me and exhausts me. He climbs and climbs and climbs. He climbs on the chairs, table, couches, patio furniture, beds, my tub so he can stand on it to watch me get ready and the slide!! That one is the scariest because he can get to the top now and there is a big opening with a drop on one side. I'm going to have to put up a board or something so he can play on the slide without me worrying. He loves to be outside and loves playing with his sisters. He's got this cute little smirk he always does and I love to watch him run because it looks like he twists his hips back and forth to do so. It's adorable. He loves to be barefoot as well. I can't keep shoes on him. He's a great sleeper and napper and an all around cute funny little boy!!

Aiden in nursery

Aiden won't turn 18 months for two more days but he's been in nursery for a couple of months. I was called as a nursery worker at the end of July and the ONLY perk to that is that I get to take him in with me:) This past Sunday, he was CRAZY!!! He kept climbing up on the table, scooching the chair to the light and proceeding to turn it on and off over and over and over again. Or dragging the chair to the other door to play with the knob!! This picture was like the only time he was sitting down. But to be honest, he is usually better:) I can't believe my little man is growing up so fast!!!

Big Kids

It's my turn to teach Jorydn's preschool this week and Aiden just thought he was part of it all. He was a big kid just like the others!! We send them with lunches this year like their older siblings and while they were eating lunch today, Aiden wanted to eat at the picnic table too!! I made him a little sandwich and he thought it was so cool!! It was too cute but then he also tried to eat the other kids' food too:)

 And of course with all the rain.....comes puddles!!! And what kid doesn't want to play in puddles:)



This little dude just makes us laugh and laugh!!

Aiden is such a big boy and wants to try and do everything. He gives us this little screech when he wants something and will keep doing it until he gets it. Yes, he has us wrapped around his tiny, little digits!!

He got to water the lawn yesterday!!

He also loves popcycles and will screech for a taste of one if anyone is having one.

Thank goodness he will even clean up the mess of one...lol!! He loves to clean. He is always trying to wipe things up and takes away my broom everytime I try to sweep:)

 He also makes us laugh!! You should have seen him backing up to sit in this 'baby barber chair'!! It was hilarious!! This little man is very rambunctios but I wouldn't trade him for anything!! Love this little guy!! :)

Sweet brother

Makenna had tummy aches all weekend and her little brother was so worried about her. He kept leaning down by her head to see if she was ok!! It was very sweet!!

Aiden's party!!

I totally thought that I had blogged about Aiden's birthday party but I had only blogged about his actual birthday...not his party!! I'm so slacking on blogging lately!! I still need to do Easter....eeek!!!

His theme was Mickey Mouse because....well, everyone loves Mickey!! His Grandma made the cakes.

The birthday boy!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't realize his pants were so short!! :)

His second favorite dinner....pizza!!!!!

Present time!!!

He loved the paper!!!

Hmmmm.....is there cake??? :)

Happy Birthday baby boy!!

Time to dig in for the second time in two days:) That was one sugared up baby!!

Yummy!!!

Who needs hands???

Oh man....all that cake makes a dude thirsty!!

Bath time....or sink time!  :)

Look at how dirty that water is!! Little man had a great birthday!!! Thanks to all of our family that came!! Happy Birthday Aiden!! We love you baby boy!!!

Another milestone!!

I figured I better right this down now or else I would forget. Mr. Aiden has been walking really well now the last couple weeks but if he fell, he would crawl to something that he could use to help him stand back up. Well, today he stood up by himself in the middle of the room!!! We were so proud of him!! I can't believe how grown up he is getting!! He also clapped his hands by himself today!! Love this dude so much!!

He also loves walking around with his little popping toy!! Loves it!! :)

One year stats

Mr. Dude got his one year check up today. He actually came down with a high fever last night so he wasn't able to get his shots but I figured I might as well keep the appointment and get his check up done. Plus, his doctor was able to make sure he didn't have anything serious:)
His weight is 21.6 pounds (25th percentile), his length is 30 inches (50th percentile) and his nugget was in the 60th percentile! He's doing awesome and almost has the walking down. He walks all over and getting further and further before he falls or drops. He got his bottom left molar on Sunday, the 24th and he's working on that last one on the bottom left. He's had a low grade fever all week and the poopies trying to get that tooth through and it still isn't. Poor guy!!
We got pictures taken and will post them on here as well:)

Little man is walking!!

Little man is finally getting better with his walking. The girls were walking before they were a year but he has taken a little longer:) He's so cute too because he walks with his arms in the air. We call it the monster walk!!

Oops!!

He's so proud of himself....and so am I:)

And....the reason why I can't even have a second of not worrying about Aiden getting into something. He won't stay sitting in his high chair for more than five seconds!! He can even escape when his buckles are on! He is the baby Houdini!!

Then as I was taking his picture, he had to look all sweet! He is sweet....my sweet little baby boy!! I just wish you would sit down dude!! :)
