Spring is near...

With the weather warming up, there's no doubt that spring is near. We are so excited! I can't wait to be able to throw on a sun dress and flip flops... no more sweaters, please! Aiden is also exited for spring. He learned how to say "bird" and loves to stand at the window and point at all the birds as they fly to the feeders. This past weekend Daddy took the John Deere out to get it ready for the spring. Aiden was especially excited when Daddy let him sit on the tractor and pretend to drive. Daddy also got to take Aiden on a ride around the yard.

Professional photos.

This weekend I had some professional pictures taken of Aiden and I at Falls Park in Greenville. The wonderful photographer is Lindsay Alexander. She takes amazing pictures. Here's the link to her site where you could view some of the other pictures of my little man.

Growing and growing!

My little peanut is 15 months already. I can't even believe it. Time has flown by. It feels like just yesterday he was in my belly moving around. He is such a good kid. I'm sure everyone says the same thing about their own children, but seriously he is so sweet. He loves to give kisses and hugs. Here's a list of a few of the words he is using now-a-days: mama, dada, dog, shoe, milk, sit (which sounds more like sh*t haha), no, grandpa, eye, nose, mouth, thank you, ball, ballon, bubble and a few other things which we have no idea what they mean.

We just went for his 15 month check up and he is growing and growing. He is weighing 23 1/2 lbs and measuring 31 1/2 inches. That is almost 3 feet! WOW!! We are still nursing, something that is bitter sweet. I love the bonding and I know he loves it but I wish he would self wean and start drinking cows milk. So far he does not drink any cows milk. I have tried everything; chocolate milk, warm milk, milk in a bottle, milk in a cup, milk with a straw and milk with cereal. He fuses all of my efforts. I'm not worried about his calcium intake because this little boy is like his daddy... he LOVES cheese. Anything cheese he will eat. He also drinks a Yo Baby yogurt every morning. I'm going to give him till 18 months and then if he has not self weaned, I will have to do it for him :( I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.

Here are a few pictures from the beginning of the year.

My first entry!

So, I have been wanting to create a blog so my friends and family could follow my little peanut. I have been trying to set up this blog for a while. I finally did it!! I'm still not an expert, by no means and I hope to get better at it. I just wanted to say hello and invite my friends and family to enjoy our blog.
