Swimming!

So today we decided to go to the Lehi indoor/outdoor pool! Aiden hated the water at first, although it was really warm it wasn't bath water warm and so he decided to throw a little fit about it, I also think he was tired and it seemed to bother him to be suspended in the water so we put him in his life jacket and after that he was fine. He loved the current in the "river" and so we took him around that a few times, it was a lot of fun!

Getting ready to go

looking cool

in the car ready to go!

crying, poor baby...

he was out before we even made it to the car, it really wore him out! (yes i'm terrible i forgot a change of clothes so he's just in a diaper, after i took the picture i bundled him in blankets)

Aiden and Studio!!!

Aiden has been doing good, getting a lot closer to crawling but still not quite there yet! He has all of a sudden decided that he can throw a fit for cool formula now when it has never bothered him before. Because of his fit I wasn't able to golf today which I had been looking forward to all week :(.

DIAPER RASH OF DEATH:
Aiden gets very slightly pink diaper rashes but he doesn't even notice them and they've never bothered him (although i put diaper cream on them anyways) and he doesn't get them very often, he's NEVER had a problem. ever. Which is why when I changed his 3rd poopy diaper within 2 hours I was shocked to find a dark pink rash (which was barely pink on the previous diaper 30 minutes before and I had just put diaper rash cream on just in case). I immediately start putting diaper rash cream on him and as soon as I touched him he shrieked, I froze I was so shocked, he's never done that before!!! I very very tenderly coat him in diaper cream and the entire time he was screaming as if he were in extreme pain, i'd never heard him scream like that not even for shots :( and he started arching his back and trying as hard as he could to get me to stop touching it. Once I finished i put his diaper back on and he screamed even more, I rocked him for 15 minutes to calm him down but if I didn't keep rocking him he kept screaming so I finally just gave him a bottle and put him to bed. It was seriously the saddest thing that has ever happened I am still traumatized. I hope he is better tomorrow....

hugging a stuffed animal and sucking his fingers, so cute!

MY STUDIO IS BACK UP! And now I have a black backdrop as well as my white one and a track so I can easily slide them back and forth it's amazing I absolutely love it! Not to mention the bedrooms in this apartment are bigger and so I have a lot more room and its the perfect size! And because I have more room I was able to set up all 3 of my lights instead of just the two. All I have left to do is hang my NYIP Certificate of Graduation and cover the window to avoid conflicting lighting and it's good to go! So exciting!!!!! And I told my relief society pres. about it and she said she's going to make sure i have "lots to do" with it so yay!!!

I now have a waiting area where those not in the picture can watch the session!

Cousins!

Aiden's 2nd cousins came to play!!! They were all tired but did a pretty good job of being good sports while we took hundreds of pictures hahha!

Carter, Olivia and Aiden

with the moms!

Aiden update

Aiden has been so funny lately. He loves to suck on his bottom lip and try to talk at the same time and it results in him pushing air out and making a "buh buh buh buh" sound and he has decided to expand on that and he now makes a "buh" sound and a "muh" sound. He also loves toys that he can manipulate himself so we got him a few toys that he loves!

He also loves to grab his socks and try to pull them off and he has a strange sudden obsession with the remotes. What a strange boy!!!

My Mother's Day Weekend

I was ecstatic all weekend because it was Mother's day weekend and because of this little guy


I am a mom and how could you not want to celebrate being his mother!? On saturday Jeremy surprised me and and took me to get a pedicure!!!


While I was getting my pedicure he went and got me some chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries (which were delicious i might add!!!)


Then we went out to dinner to a new Italian place up in Sandy that was actually pretty good so that was fun. Then on Sunday he gave me flowers!


So all in all I had a pretty good Mother's Day weekend :)!

OH and my new glasses came this week! They took some getting used to but I love them...


After church on Sunday we decided to try a re-do of Aiden's 6 month pictures.

6 months old

Aiden loves his bear!

6 months old!!

Even more videos!!! (absolutely ADORABLE you HAVE to watch!)

So Aiden all of a sudden LOVES the baby einstein puppets, he is always laughing at them now its so funny! He laughs at them more than me!!!!! Apparently I'm just boring now hahha...

So Aiden is basically a genius. He has this bear that plays nature sounds to soothe him to sleep and I put it up in the corner of the bed and him in the middle of the bed. He always manages to scoot up until he can reach it and pull it down and snuggle with him. Oh...but that's not why he's a genius...he can't nap without the sounds playing, so after the 20 minutes is up and it stops playing he will wake up, smoosh his head around on it until it turns back on and promptly fall back asleep. It's hilarious!!!

Aiden really likes to stand now, he refuses to sit!!!! He can balance perfectly but he just doesn't like to sit, he kicks his legs and either lies down and rolls over or wants me to help him stand, what a little punk!

We went to the store today to pick up some undershirts for Aiden and decided to look in the toy section to see if there was anything fun and found this which i'm sure goes without saying we bought!
