I could look at this picture for hours. I feel like this picture gives us a sneak peak into what Aiden will look like when he's older.
He's such a cool little guy.
I like to call him "Spidy" when he wears this shirt...he totally eats it up.
My little flower-child.
She likes to pick flowers for me. She comes to me with big grin on her face, one hand behind her back then, "i have a surprise for youuuuuuu" and voila she presents the flowers to me, her face glowing with pride.
Her face is looking less and less like a baby and more like a little girl. Sigh. Kind of makes me sad.
"Come on, Aiden. Come on, Aiden."
Sky follows Aiden everywhere. And if by chance she has to go somewhere, she asks Aiden to go with her.
These days they even go to the bathroom together. They sit across from each other in the bathroom, Aiden on the toilet and Sky on the potty and they joke around and giggle as they relieve themselves.
By the way, we haven't had a poopy diaper on Sky in over three weeks! : )
My little beach bum...
Aiden LOVES the beach. Every morning he wakes up and asks when we're going to beach again.
Aiden teaching Sky how to march.
"Sky, this is my boat, okay? I'll let you ride on it though."
Aiden running"SUPA FAST!!!"
The last two summers Adam and I would look at each other exhausted and ask the question - do you think next year the kids will be easier to handle at the beach?
Well, I think this summer might be that relaxing summer we've been dreaming of. We went to the beach for the weekend and we all enjoyed ourselves. The kids are getting to that age were you can sit back on the deck and watch them play in the front year or sit on the beach and watch them play in the sand. Last year, Aiden wouldn't stay in the front yard, he'd head straight for the street and down to the beach. Sky on the other hand didn't start walking until July (when she turned one) so she required a lot of holding. She'd also get frustrated watching her brother run around when she couldn't. Letting her crawl wasn't much of an option since the deck is so splintered.
Dear Aiden & Sky,
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it is to be your age and have a friend in each other. Someone to play with, sit and think with, laugh with, and just be with. You two are best friends and that's the way it should be. You will have plenty of fun at the beach this year for sure.
Only one little problem Aiden. In the first photo you look like you are 8 or 10...please don't grow up too fast on me...promise?
xxxooo Nana Beth
What a handsome little guy at the beach!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! I love that first picture of Aiden. I'm thinking I need to get him a movie or commercial deal. As his mom, and biggest fan, I'm obviously partial but he really has some movie star good looks! ; )
ReplyDeleteThat first shot of Aiden should get him a Movie contract right away!! To all of us who love both he and Sky, they are BOTH Movie Stars!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so great that they have the opportunity to go to the sea shore and with both children as smart as they are, they will learn lots of things that they wouldn' have had the opportunity to learn and experience before. I know it has to be exhausting to be parents of two precious children and at the beach, so many dangers lurk, but I know that they will enjoy wherever you take them and spend time with them. I lament that they both are going up way too fast..
Thanks Sharon! We really do love having the kids at the beach. Aiden could play in the sand for hours. When it's time to go home he looks at us like - what?! I just started playing! Time flies when you're having fun. We are very blessed to have Aiden and Sky and we're very lucky to have access to a beach house to enjoy them in!
