One Year Old

Today I am One Year Old...at least that is what my parents say. I got to open presents before breakfast. Mom made me banana bread muffins for breakfast too!! I had a good day today. Mom and Dad took me to get a nice new pair of shoes too! This past Saturday I started taking steps, only Grandma saw! I showed Mom and Dad last night for sure! I got to the doctor tomorrow for my check up. Mom and Dad will put this information in this posting too. Tonight I had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Grandpop, Meme, Papa, Uncle Matt and Uncle Phil came over to eat too!! I got to open a few more presents. Mom has made a quick slide show of pictures from this morning to this evening for you to enjoy. I had a great day and really did not feel like napping a lot. My Dad is staying home with me all week and I don't have time to nap when he is around!!

Talking

Aidan's Mom here. It sure seems today that Aidan was making an attempt to say his name. He was watching pictures on our digital frame. (Most are pictures of him!) So, I took a video purposely of the carpet to try and get him talking. If he sees you videoing him he wants the camera. :-) This way Andrew was able to hear it when he got home from work.

Snow in NC??!!

I am told that we don't usually get snow around here..whatever that is. However, we got it on the day of my baptism and again this morning!! So, Mom got me out of bed and got a coat and hat on me. When Dad came down stairs we went outside and there was white stuff all over...well..a good dusting my parents say! Mom asks that you please excuse her picture...it was before 7am. :-) My dogs liked walking around in the snow too! I am not too sure what the big deal is though.

Update

Well, I am crawling pretty fast now and cruising all over the furniture. Back in October I had a nice surge of teething. I got 4 teeth between the 15th and 18th. Mom and Dad say I handled it pretty well. Today Mom noticed yet another tooth. My parents were thinking I would only have the three bottom teeth for my first birthday. I sure surprised them!! I can now bite with the best of them!! I really like to play with my toys while standing on my own too. I have not taken any steps yet though!

TP

So, I really like to get into the downstairs bathroom cabinet if my parents leave the door open. This morning Mom and Dad left the door open. My Mom took a short video of me to let everyone know why our toilet paper might be covered in dog hair at times!

Talking at Lunch

So, I am make all sorts of sounds. Today after lunch Dad took a quick video of the sounds I make, you can here my Nana in the background...(Dad is talking to her on the phone...I don't think she knows you don't have to yell when you talk on the phone.)

Riding my Truck

Well, Mom and Dad got me a really neat Tonka truck a while back. I have recently been walking behind it. Well, my friend Chandler was over the other day and I saw him ride it!! So, tonight Dad helped me out and as you can see Dad, Roxy and I really got a kick out of it. Enjoy this video!! (I apologize Blogger won't show it rotated like it is on our computer!!)
