MiLK Day at the Park

We spent Martin Luther King Day at the park yesterday. At school we abbreviate it MLK so inevitably someone always calls it MILK day. This was Aaden's first trip to the park. We went with my sister and her boys and my mom and her boys. I think Anthony was a little bummed that we wasn't with us though. I offered to wait until he could go, but he is so sweet and considerate he told us to go and have fun.

We had Chick-Fil-A (yummy!) and other goodies. Aaden had peas. He has started eating real peas-smashed up of course- and really loves them! I hope he is a veggie eater, unlike mommy and daddy.

Ethan- Havin' some fun!

While we were at the park Aaden stayed on his tummy for the longest time he has ever in a row- like 45 minutes! He has started to crawl but in reverse. So we are working on it. He absolutely loved being outside. The weather was beautiful and the boys were great, except for a minor incident with Braylon, Ethan, and some older gwails (girls). This day made me so excited for this summer and being able to do fun things with him. I so love being his Mommy and Anthony's wife. Now if I could just figure out how to get paid for it!

Braylon- Lookin' 4 trouble!

Brody and Austin- Mud puddle fun

Aaden and Nana!

8 Months!

Isn't this the cutest stinking thing you have ever seen?

Our sweet boy was 8 months old on Tuesday. I can not believe how fast these months have gone by. Anthony and I have been awake for the better part of them because our baby is a little party boy. This is a trait he gets from his father! He loves to laugh and giggle. He is a total Mexican jumping bean and is not interested the least little bit in crawling. He would rather persue the fine art of walking than spend time on the floor. At his last check up 2 weeks ago he weighed 18.13 so he will soon be in a BIG BOY car seat. He is a great eater when his teeth aren't bothering him. He has 2 teeth on the bottom and loves to chomp on any and everything. He eats 1 jar of size 2 food at breakfast and lunch and usually 2 jars at supper.  He and his big "brother" George seem to enjoy playing and get jealous of each other if I am holding one and not the other.

This is the party boy on New Year's Eve!

Anthony and I are so lucky to be his parents. God blessed us with the sweetest, happiest little insomniac in the whole world. I can not wait to see what the next 8 months bring!
