Happy Easter!

we have had a WONDERFUL easter! we celebrated a day early - since adam's mom was in town and adam works on sundays.... we started off the day with an egg hunt at the mall.



then after the egg hunt we went home for nap and then afterwards went up to see grammy, great grandma and great granddad. we played outside - and had a wonderful easter dinner of pizza :)

all the sunshine really tuckered out someone....

we had a great time - there are a lot of GREAT pictures - too many to post - so here is a link for spring pictures

i hope you all have a wonderful easter!

not your typical amy post...

WARNING - THIS ISN'T AN AIDEN POST - AND IT'S A LITTLE VENT-Y

i need to get some stuff out and i don't keep a paper journal anymore - so here i am and here i go! i apologize now if i offend anyone...

i feel like i've been forgotten... it's like i had a baby and was let go of my teaching job - and in turn lost all my friends (not that i had many here anyways) no one here ever calls me - to hang out or even just talk. in the past 15 days (yes i looked back in my phone) i have one incoming call from a friend - and she's in NC.

i feel like it's time to move back to NC - although will i really have friends there? i'm not sure.

the other issue - i really do like my job - so i don't want to leave it. i'm actually wishing we would have bought a house in summerville now.

just because i have a 1 year old doesn't mean that i am never able to go out and do things - yes, there are times that i will need to say no - but it isn't all the time. i'm tired of always being the one to initiate... friendship is a two way street.

random stuff

i've been pretty busy and haven't had much time to post - so this is going to be somewhat random and not in any order...

last night adam and i were putting clothes away in the bedroom and we had the video monitor on - aiden was going to bed... he does some crazy stuff in his crib sometimes - last night he was walking around his crib - putting his blankets over his head and just walking and it also looked like he was playing peek-a-boo with himself... too funny!

he's also started dancing more! i love it! yesterday we had a yard sale and adam set up the stereo so we had music playing.... aiden was standing in the driveway bouncing to the music and then he started spinning circles - and he was laughing away - too cute!

aiden loves anything that isn't actually one of his toys - he loves water bottles - today he had a water bottle that had a pop-top and he kept trying to "feed" it to me... well i opened it up and let him feed me some - and even when it was all gone he kept feeding me... well i took the bottle away and he fussed for a second and then went over to his toy box and grabbed his empty coke bottle he had... he knew exactly where to look for it!

• aiden will help undress sometimes (when he isn't too mad about getting undressed).
• he has tooth #13 coming in now.
• aiden LOVES peek-a-boo... all i have to say is "where's aiden" and then he'll cover his eyes and then he'll uncover them and i say "peek-a-boo" and he does it again.
• he really seems to be enjoying books now too - he will sit on my lap and help me turn pages (sometimes a little too fast)

i can't believe how fast he is growing up! it's amazing!!
