The mommy support group outting

Two of Kate's friends had babies around the same time Ayden was born, in fact all three babies were born within 3 weeks of each other, so they came over to have a little play date and take a walk. You can see Liam and Carson's blogs on the links from our site.

Ayden getting to meet his Great Great Aunt Shelia, we was so good with her.

Finally in Michigan

After four stops in various cities, and 12 hours of flying, we made it to Michigan. Ayden did so well. He was a bit unsure about having to sit still on the first two legs of the trip but from L.A. to Chicago, and then up to Grand Rapids he slept both flights entirely. He is such a great traveler, at least for now. Now its a matter of adjusting to the new time zone and becoming familiar with the masses of people who want to meet him.

Dinner poolside, something that doesn't happen back home. From the temperature that we left Yuma in, and when we landed in GR, it was 60 degrees cooler.... it is delightful!!!
Ayden met a new friend, Harper
Grandpa and A having a great time

We're off.... check for updates from Michigan over the next few weeks!

We finally got a picture of Ayden's teeth to show his dad, not great, but they are there.

Having a morning chat with dad

I apologize for the delay.... its been quite the week.

Ayden is trying to get a headstart for his trip to Michigan next week by begging to get out the front door.

Making a call


We laughed when we caught this on tape - he is experimenting with his tongue.... could talking be soon? And just so you all know, that is Carrie, not Ayden, at the end making the dinosaur noises ;)

Hello from Ayden

Aunt Carrie

AUNT CARRIE IS HERE!!! Its be a long few months since Carrie has seen Ayden at Christmas, he has lots of tricks to show off. This is right when Carrie arrived at the house to see her nephew.

Trying out the shades before heading to the pool

Some friends, Mark and Holly invited us for a pool party this evening. We will never say no to a swim and with temperatures at 115 degrees today, the water was just what we needed. It was a great night at their house!

Enjoying sweet potatoes for lunch
Just being goofy

Bathtime and letters

I am out of town for a few days, but that doesn't mean you all don't want to see the little guy. Ayden does not like pacifiers, never has, but lately they make a great chew toy if they are left in ice water for a minute or two.

Giving up after bath time - its just not worth it
