Motorcycle

Yesterday Ashley (Justin's brother) suprised Aiden with a gift and this is what it is....

However, there is some controversy about the motorcycle. Ashley bought it for fun. It is not intended for Aiden to ride ANY time soon! Just a fun thing for Aiden to have for the moment. I don't necessarily agree with him EVER riding a motorcycle, honestly. But we will cross that bridge when we get there! But you have to admit it made some REALLY cute pics!

Little Update

I usually just post pictures because for some reason I don't ever have anything really to talk about but I did want to share something to anyone who reads this that is a mom or soon to be mom. Every since Aiden started eating solid food I would go to the grocery store usually every other day getting all of those little jars of baby food. After it got old having to find somewhere to store all the jars, and not knowing exactly what is in the baby food, and wondering if these foods have all of the nutrients in them, I started looking around on how to make homemade baby food. I must say, it is the easiest and most convienent thing I have ever done. I know alot of you will say, I don't have time for that I work all day..but it takes maybe an hour to make enough food for two weeks. And the benefit to the baby is wonderful. You just buy fresh fruits and veggies (I usually buy organic if they have it and if they don't I don't sweat it) cook them for about 10 minutes in water, then puree. Thats it! Depending on how much you make you can put the rest in ice cube trays, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze. After the food is frozen pop it out of the tray, put in a plastic bag and store. I sound like I am advertising huh! Ha I just want to share because I really feel like the benefit is so great for baby. You know that you are giving your baby hormone and pesticide free foods. How great is that. Every mom wants the best for their little one, right. Oh and there is an awesome website that shows you how to mix a lot of food and exactly how to do it. It is wholesomebabyfood.com. The best website ever.
Anyways, everything here is going great. Justin is working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. :( He will be off of that schedule in a week and a half though. I am about to go crazy but I try to find fun things for Aiden and I to do during the day.
Aiden has two little teeth in the front, that I can never get a picture of, and another one coming in on the side. It is sooo cute. His personality is developing more and more every day. He definetly has a red headed temper. My mother in law heard it first hand on the phone the other day. When Aiden is done eating, he doesnt calmly "start playing" or "turn away" he SCREAMS, and throws his body back all the while he is choking on his food that is still in his mouth. Don't quite know the reason for this, but somehow I have GOT to put an end to it. Otherwise, he is growing so big and healthy. I can't wait for the summer so we can go the the lake, fishing, crabbing, and swimming in the pool. Well I hope everyone is doing well. Let me know if you were wondering anything else about the homemade baby food stuff! Pretty much any questions you have are on the website. Hope everyone has a very blessed rest of the week! :)
