MMM MMM ROOTBEER

Aidan wanted to try some of my rootbeer tonight...appears he liked it!

Aidan Getting Tests

Here are a couple pics of Aidan waiting to get his IV at the hospital...before he was stuck with the needle he handled things ok and was really interested in what the nurses were doing - once the needle came out it was a whole other ball game :) All in all he did pretty well!

New Game

Aidan found this winter hat of ours and found it so much fun to walk around with it over his face. Even when we tried to make it so he could see he would pull it back down over his face and walk around and into things. He thought it was a great game!

Check out our pumpkins!

Jason and I carved our pumpkins this weekend. We actually only had 2 pumpkins, but they were so big that we put 2 images on each one....you can pretty much guess which one is Aidan's favorite....Mickey of course :)

Trick or Treat!

Aidan had his first taste of trick or treating this past weekend. We took him down to Church Street where the stores were letting the kids trick or treat. He really enjoyed seeing the other kids dressed up but really liked having people putting treats in his pumpkin bucket!

Fun With The Laundry Basket

Aidan was having a blast playing in the laundry basket, but got a little too excited and ended up tipping it over!

Fun with Cousins!

Aidan had a blast when cousins Paul and Erica came up for a visit with Noni, Pop Pop, and Aunt Gina. We got to do some leaf peeping up on the mountain in Stowe.

It's Fall Time

Aidan had a pretty rough week this past week. He had 103 fever, they determined he had a UTI which they started to treat, then a few days later he broke out in a rash, then he ended up with an ear infection!! Poor little guy! The good news is by the weekend he started to feel better so we attemptd to take him through a corn maze at Mazza's Harvest Festival, then out to dinner for some yummy Italian food...wasn't a bad way to celebrate Mommy's birthday.

Hair Cut

So I decided to chop off most of my hair. Holly has been asking to see it, so here you go girlfriend! :)

New Things Aidan's Doing

Aidan is now learning how to climb up the stairs and feed himself using utensils instead of his fingers. He's still pretty messy with it, but it's fun for us to watch!

Champlain Valley Fair

We took Aidan to the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex and he got to feed the animals, meet Batman, and ride the Merry - Go - Round for the first time. He had a blast!

New House

We are finally moving into our new house!

Aidan decided to help Mommy paint his room...didn't he do a great job ;-)

Maryland Trip

Aidan loved playing in the sand at Ocean City, MD.

After Ocean City we drove over to Baltimore for some sightseeing. Aidan slept on most of the Duck Tour we took him on, but loved the Quackers! We also took him to the Aquarium and the dolphin show which he seemed to really enjoy, and he had his first meal at the Hard Rock Cafe!

Camping

Another year camping at Brighton State Park. It was a short trip this year but we still had a great time. Now that Aidan is walking a bit he kept trying to keep up with cousin Kasey, but ended up on his butt more times than not!

Hampton Beach, NH

We took Aidan to Hampton Beach, NH after the 4th of July and he had a great time playing on the beach. To our surprise he even loved being in the ocean even though the water was really cold! He got a lot of practice walking by going up and down the beach.
