Aden's birthday post 2

I'm finally getting around to finishing up the posts about Aden's birthday so here we go...

Aden got a tricycle for his birthday! He is still working on learning how to ride it :)

Cuddling with Mommy in his jammies...he was really sick on his birthday :(

During his party...so many people...so many presents...he has tired eyes!

He HATED the candle on his cake. It was so cute-he was trying to get out of his high chair while we were singing to him!

I still can't believe that my buddy is two years old! It has gone by so very fast. He is like a little person now, not a baby anymore. I am so thankful that God loved me enough to give me Aden, he has been the greatest joy in my life (Ava, too, but this post all about Aden! LOL) I can't wait to watch him grow and learn during this next year. I love my biggest boy BATS

Aden's B-Day--post 1

Aden woke up on his second birthday feeling yucky...we decided to go up to Oak Glen to pick apples anyway. We figured that being outside in cooler air would make him feel better. Here he is in his car seat on the way there. Unhappy.

He did have a few moments of excitement when we first made it to the orchard. Apples everywhere!

 

"Daddy I found one!"

This as one of my favorite pictures of the day, Ava and her apple.

Pumpkins (fall is my absolute favorite season)

Carrying my fussy boy back to the car...I am in love with this picture!

 

Misery. He was asleep about two minutes after I took this picture and we were on our way home. We were in Oak Glen for 1 hour and 15 minutes. ugg.

 

I am so sad that Aden is having such a hard day today. He loves apples and loves being outside so this has been such a bummer. We will definatly go up to Oak Glen again this season when he is back to his normal happy self. More posts and picture to come....   :( Poor boy

My Silly Boy

This morning I lovingly stuck my children in front of the TV so that I could take a quick shower. When I was done, I heard Aden fussing so I ran to the living room to see what the problem was. This is what I found...

At least he didn't try and climb in while Ava was in it! He's never done that before-it was so funny-he was really stuck LOL

My Avers

Ava was sick for a week. An entire week of misery. She screamed, she cried, she never slept. She wouldn't eat and wouldn't let me put her down. I haven't shaved my legs in so long. She won't sit in her carseat or her high chair. Just when I think I am going to lose my mind from all of her fit throwing, she gives me this...

...and I am ready to do it all over again :)

Lots of random things to say...

First and foremost...Ava is getting over roseola. She had a very high fever and after a few days it broke, then came the spots! They don't itch or bother her in any way, she just looks like the creature from the black lagoon...here she is eating her first big girl cracker...can you see the tiny red spots?? She is covered in them!

I have new glasses! I used to just need them for reading but now they are for part/full time use. I don't think that I look very good in glasses because I'm so fair so I just picked out some really cute and kinda funky ones! Might as well go all out. They are very "loud" LOL

Aden is talking a lot! Every time Ava cries he says, "what happen?" or "not happy". Other fun things he likes to say are:

my baby

meema (instead of mommy)

isco (san fransisco-his favorite book)

cokie (cookie)

ano (piano)

nessa (that is what he calls the Roomba-I have no clue why!)

Anyway, he is just too cute and wonderful and smart and funny and I could just go on and on alllllll day about his adorableness :)

I had a great photo shoot today with a very handsome and sweet  little boy named Justice. Thanks to Holly for hooking us up! His cute face will be up on my website in the next few days so go check it out!  OK nightynight!

Nap!

My babies and I just woke up from a very long afternoon nap! Aden slept in his crib for 3 hours and Ava and I cuddled up in my bed and slept together for 2 hole hours! I can't even remember the last time I napped like that but it felt soooo good. Both of the babies went to the DR yesterday and they both have sore throats. Ava's temp has gotten up to 103.4! She is trying so hard to be nice but she is just so miserable. Anyway...just thought I'd share the blessed nap news! This was a big accomplishment for me (some of you may or may not know that I have a terrible time napping during the day no matter how exhausted I am LOL)

Saturday

It's 8:45pm and the babies are in bed. I'm waiting for Scott to come home from a volleyball tournament in Hemet so things are pretty quiet right now. This afternoon, Ava started getting really fussy. I picked her up to give her kisses and noticed that she was pretty warm. Her temp was 101.7...she has been teething. I gave her Tylenol and Oragel and she went down for a little nap. I hate teething. It's so unfair for them. She wouldn't eat dinner and wouldn't even suck on the little "mesh feeder" with a piece of nectarine in it. All she wants to do is lay in my arms and nurse. I'm happy to oblige but Aden needs his mommy as well. I guess I really having nothing too interesting to post about...it's just quiet in my house. I find that weird :) I wonder where my book went.....I was reading earlier.....I think...hmmm.
