My Boy, My Life

I wanted to write a post about my boy, Aiden I am going to start by going through some of his favorite things. Right now, he is 21 months and just full of life!

Aiden, and his permanent smirk that is on his cute face.

Favorite Foods: Pancakes and cookies

Favorite Stuffed Animal: Stuffed dog

Favorite TV Show: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Favorite Movies: Monsters vs. Aliens and Big Hero 6

Favorite Book: Moo, Baa, La La La

Favorite Thing to Carry Around: His blanket-any blanket

Favorite Activity: Playing outside on the slides and swings, loves balls, and cars

Best Friend: Daddy, and doggie

This list could go on and on forever. He loves so many things! He wants to walk everywhere, do everything himself-he is such an independent. He loves using a fork to eat everything. He babbles on and on, so much that most the time he is having heated conversations, whether it is with us, or himself. He gesticulates with his hands and just screams like he is trying to make a point that we just can't see. He is a pretty picky eater, unless I convince him that what he is eating is a cookie.

I can make him giggle like none other-recently the thing that will crack him up the most is saying the word "Blue". Um...what?? What is so funny about that word? Only he knows. He can start laughing at any time of day, and most the time I'm wondering what set him off.

He is usually happiest with one of his stuffed dogs in one arm, with his blankey in his other. His other happy place is with Daddy. He is SUCH a daddy's boy, that oftentimes I get a twinge of jealousy. But honestly, it is the sweetest thing, especially since Mike didn't have that as a boy. I love that Aiden loves his dad so much and he has such a great example to look up to. He lights up whenever Mike walks in the room, and vice versa. Who knew that either Mike and I could love a little boy so much?

Aiden, along with being happy most the time, is very easily frustrated and can throw little tantrums, as I'm certain 100% of toddlers all do.  I'm sure that a lot of the frustration comes from his wanting to know how to tell us something, or is inability to do certain things.

This pretty much sums up his personality in one picture.

I'm so grateful to be this wonderful boy's mother, and I cannot believe that it has almost been two years since he came into my life. I can't wait for the next two years.
