i swing my beat at the playgound

...you know?

Nothing like some one on one time with my Daddy! Aiden loves to answer any question with "Daddy!!".

Me: Aiden who made you breakfast this morning?
Aiden: Daddy!!!

Me: Aiden who gave you that new police car?
Aiden: Daddy!!!

Me: Aiden who's shirt is this?
Aiden: Daddy!!!

Me: Aiden who took you to school this morning?
Aiden: Daddy!!!

The cutest part about it is that he knows he's lying! He gives you a little smirk and loves to see you look shocked at his answer.

fun in the sun

We spent the weekend at Virginia Beach -- now that the dust has settled from moving our home and our offices, we're trying to pack in as much fun as possible before the end of the summer. This past weekend we went to the beach with my parents which is really nice because we get some help with the kids and real home cooked meals.

Although it was as hot (97 degrees) and humid as could be - Aiden spent almost every waking minute outside. It was so hot we had to take turns taking him outside because none of us could stand it out there as long as he could.

bad hair day

Sky is changing everyday - getting bigger, longer, more alert, hair is getting lighter and is generally looking less like a new born. One thing that hasn't changed much however, is her hair that stands straight up at the top of her head. Here she is praying...."please god, don't let my hair stick up like this."

Sky is a month old

Today Sky is exactly four weeks old and here are her baby stats: 11 lb 05 oz and 22 inches tall. She is a great baby. She eats well, sleeps well, poops and pees well. Even with Aiden pulling her feet, touching her face, rubbing her head she sits calmly sucking on her pacifier. The only thing that upset this baby is hunger….but, when she's hungry, she's shy about letting us know. She goes from cool, calm, content baby to pissed off, head banging, red faced, angry baby in 30 seconds…I guess she is already taking after her mom... ; )

the playground

Today we had a playground installed in our backyard for Aiden and Sky. When Aiden woke up from his afternoon nap, he noticed two men building playground in the backyard. WHAAA?? How could this be? A playground? In our backyard? NO WAY!!! The rest of the afternoon he was glued to the window saying "oh oh oohhh!!!" with a HUGE smile on his face.
