Wow, really looks as though my big New Years Resolution fell through, doesn't it?! It's been 8 months since my last entry, I am really falling behind! I didn't even realize how bad it had gotten until I ran into an old friend & fellow blogger (Hi Mel!) and she mentioned it- "Um, yeah, it's been like since September, Heidi!", she said. I suppose sometimes we have a tendency to think "ah, no one will notice" when we get a little lazy from time to time (or, I don't know, 8 months for that matter). But it's nice to have a little reminder to get you back on track!
Wellll... Where to start, where to begin- AIDEN HAS A NEW(ISH) BABY BROTHER! We welcomed Parker Elliot into our family on Friday December 18, 2009 @ 5:48pm. He weighed 8lbs, 4oz and was 20 inches long. NOW, he is 4 months old & weighs 15 1/2 lbs and is 24 inches long!
Aiden is really good big brother. He will walk up to Parker, pinch his cheek and say "goo-goo ga-ga, Parky!". When Parker is in his activity jumper, Aiden will say "jumpin' bean! Jumpin' bean!" and show him how to bounce. Lots of cute little moments that I am lucky enough to be home for and able to see/have with the two of them!
Now that Parker is 4 months, he is almost able to sit up all the way on his own, he rolls from front to back and back to front and is working on scooching around on the floor! We are going to get ready to add green veggies into his diet in hopes he will follow after big brother who LOVES them more than anything else on his plate! Aiden began solids with green beans and has loved them ever since. His new thing is broccoli, which he would be perfectly content eating morning, noon and night. So we are crossing our fingers that the luck we had with Aiden will follow with Parker!
Aiden is doing very well, also! He is growing up verrrrry quickly! He now is able to count to 27 (though he goes up that high only on a rare occasion)! As far as the alphabet, he is partial to G-Q and isn't much into A-F or R-Y but loves to shout Z at the end. He also has his own little version of Twinkle, Twinkle, which is my favorite. He loves, loves, LOVES Finding Nemo and could watch it over and over and over for days and days if we let him! And he is mostly into trains, cars, airplanes and helicopters. An all around boys boy. :)

About Me
- Heidi
- On May 27th, 2008, I became a first time mommy to an amazing little monster, Aiden Alexander. Since that very day, my life has changed 100%- For the better. I was Lucky enough to have it happen twice, when Aiden became a big brother to Parker Elliot who was born 19 months later, on December 18, 2009. I now spend my days in intervals of playtime, feedings, diaper changes and learning. Each day is filled full of incredible moments in time and recipes for sentimental memories to one day look back and reflect on. I wouldn't change a thing!
