Aiden Loves Fireworks

Erik was doing a small fireworks show for Aiden, Chloe, and I. The fireworks were fairly quiet, ground ones (smoke bombs, ground bloom flowers, sparklers). Aiden loved them so much. He began laughing (very much like Visceny in Princess Bride, right before he keels over). This made Chloe, Erik and I laugh. I love the unbridled excitement!!!

Mini Theme Park

Aiden went on his first mini roller coaster. I wore my baby bjorn, but Zander was being held by a friend who was not on the ride. The roller coaster operator checked me to make sure there was no baby :-) Zander, Aiden, and I also rode the carosel and some other little rides. It was tons of fun. When Aiden was scared on the roller coaster, I taught him to scream when he was scared. I think it really helped and he had fun.

Aiden's Recital

Aiden's preschool had a recital. Aiden sang "Oh Mr. Sun" and "The Wheels on the Bus" with the rest of his classmates. So cute!

Zander's First Birthday

Zander had a crudy first birthday...he was sick. We celebrated his birthday early though so he did have a chance to enjoy some cake (the top picture is his early b.day, the bottom is his real, sick birthday). He also had his one year well-baby visit. He has moved from the first percentile to the thirteenth percentile in weight! Go Zander!!! Way to grow!!!
