July 2009 Update

Okay, there is so much to catch everyone up on!  

Currently, I am 18 months old.  That's right everyone...less than 6 months until the holiday season.  I love, love, LOVE trucks, cars, birds, dogs and "pops" aka popsicles.  I am a good sleeper and have started to sit on the potty, with clothes on, but hey I am learning.  I can say all sorts of words; mom, dad, pop, bath, no, yes, ball, lights, car, bug, bus" and so many more every day.  :)  I play a lot with Jack, but I also started up at daycare again and meet lots of friends everywhere I go.  My favorite toys are Thomas the Train and Elmo and I don't go anywhere without my two lambs (yes two)!   I wave hello to almost everyone and like to help out at the grocery store. 

I hope to get out soon and see my Papa Rich in Andover and Uncle Craig too!  This summer has been awesome with trips to the beach, aquarium and even the zoo.  

Enjoy the new pics!  

Wow, what a blast the last few months have been. Mommy and I have become "parterns in crime" going everywhere together, while Daddy is teaching me to dance and play the electric piano. I am having so much fun with them; though I know days like these won't last forever. :( Easter is coming up and today is took my first photo with the Easter Bunny. The picture made my parents laugh, but I felt like a dear in headlights up on the stage. I am excited about Easter and our upcoming trip to Latham, NY to see my great-grandparents and all my extended family that we miss so much.

Learning and Loving Life!

Wow, my first year was filled with so many adventures and accomplishments; I can't wait to see what I do next.  :)   

I have 7 teeth now and weigh in at 27 lbs and I think I am 32 inches tall.  I love to eat bananas and Cheerios, french fries and chicken noodle soup.  I sleep right through the night and for that I am sure my parents are so very thankful!  I get to go to the park and the beach all the time with my Mom and Dad (who love their new jogging stroller).  My favorite toys are the loud ones!  Oh and the couch, I just learned how to crawl up on top!  

I can't wait to go to the Long Beach Aquarium, go see the Anaheim Angels vs. Boston Red Sox in the Spring and learn how to hop (I'm working on that one).  

So, stay tuned and much love to everyone out there!  XOXOXO, Aiden Russell

  

Hello Everyone! Mommy, Daddy and I had so much fun at the pumpkin patch, even though it was 100 degrees out.  I got a huge pumpkin to carve and took a tractor ride and saw a pumpkin shoot out of a cannon...it was too cool!  I was a spider for my first Halloween, thanks to my Aunt Tracey and her crafty ways.
