beginning to walk - moving furniture

Aiden is beginning to walk...I guess you could say he is cruising very well. He moves around with furniture (like siding a chair around in the picture above). You can see how proud he is of himself in the picture above. Crawling brings about a sense of freedom but I bet walking will really change his personality. This kid is going to be on the go!

Daddy's boy

Adam and Aiden sitting on our front steps. When I look at this picture, I'm amazed at how quickly Aiden is growing up. He looks like such a big boy in this picture.

this kid loves blueberries

We spent the weekend at the beach. Adam and I both prefer the fall months over the summer months at the beach...the crowds are gone, the weather is nice, and the beach is generally cleaner.



Here's Aiden sitting in his portable high chair enjoying a blueberry snack. The kid LOVES blueberries. Every time I serve him blueberries he smiles from ear to ear.

aiden's first boat ride

We rented a boat and took in a tour of the Chesapeake Bay. David Ford (Adam's best man in our wedding) and his girlfriend joined us for the tour. We had a great tour and Aiden did great. Here he is taking time to pose for the camera.

the boy scout

This is probably one of my all time favorite pictures of Aiden. He looks like a proud, confident, committed boy scout.



I took this picture right after dressing him in this fall outfit I bought him. I wanted to see if everything fit. So that I could see his entire outfit, I stood him up in his crib.

flying Aiden

We sat on the beach for several hours today. To escape the sun, we sat under the bridge. Its really comfortable under the bridge because its completely shaded and there is a nice constant wind keeping you cool.

Adam started throwing Aiden into the air and they were both having too much fun. Aiden didn't seem scared in the least bit. Every time Adam stopped, Aiden would fuss and cry for more.

beach cruiser

Adam picked up this little beach cruiser for Aiden at a yard sale up the street (in Va Beach). It's perfect for Aiden. We went for a 10 minute ride and he was fast asleep...despite the sun, heat, and wind.

Tropical Sensations

We spent the long weekend at the beach. The weather was nice but a little too hot. Here's Aiden in his Tropical Sensations Fruit and Smoothie Bar...the name of our future business.
