Jeremy, here is the progress of how the back yard landscaping is coming, it is looking great.

And the cheering squad

Check out the king of standing in one spot.... moving forward is another story.

A new post finally

I haven't gotten many pictures of Ayden this week. By the time Kate and him get home at the end of the day, it hasn't been taking very long for him to turn into a pumpkin. Poor little guy plays so hard all day he has been falling apart by 6:30 p.m. We'll chalk it up to growing and teething for a short time. This video Kate got of him starting to clap (something we have been working on forever.) I'll try and get a few more photos this weekend. He is still not walking quite yet, but he is doing everything except taking that first step. I think he is waiting for his daddy to see him ;)

His new favorite food - yogurt. And, an added bonus, it makes a complete mess if mom lets him explore the container.
Determined to get this sock off.
Completely worn out.... butt in the air.

Ayden was in his pack-n-play last night and we were playing for a while before bed time. If I growled at him, he eventually caught on to growl back, it was very entertaining.

so sweet

I finally cleaned out the pool for Ayden since it was terribly dirty from when we were in Michigan. As soon as I went outside to start working on it he whined at the window and banged to be let out. It was very funny.
The water was probably 95 degrees straight from the hose, Ayden was in heaven.

Shoe practice

Well, today it is too hot to wear clothes. Fortunately for a nine month old that is socially acceptable. But just because he doesn't have to wear clothes, he still needs to practice with his shoes. He doesn't exactly *love* them, but that may simply be because they slow down the crawling.

Crawling is much faster, mom!
