Aiden Right Now

Lately, this kid has been cracking me up.







--He FREAKS OUT when the Tim Horton's commercial comes on, screaming "TIM BITS!!! I LOVE TIM BITS!!! But I don't like the blueberry ones!!!"



--He has told me many times recently that I'm his best friend, and I promise it's not a paid endorsement. MELT.



--On the way to the sitter's house this morning, he beamed at Nolan and said "Hi, dumba$$!" Guess I need to work on my road rage.



--He has an obsession with mowing the lawn, or as he calls it, "lawn-mowering." He's even gone so far as to convince his grandpa to re-mow a perfectly cut lawn just so he can follow along with his toy mower.



--He is the best big brother E-V-E-R; he is always so concerned for his brother's well-being. I realize this might not survive past the point Nolan can start stealing his toys, but for now, it's heartwarming to watch.



He's my big boy, and he makes me ridiculously happy. :)

We now interrupt your regular blogging experience...

...to bring you a picture of Aiden displaying his NATURAL smile (instead of the cheesy one I've been getting for months):

The One With All the Poop

I am so tired of poop.

When Aiden was only a few months old, I used to worry because he would only grace us with a Number Two every few days. It was unnerving, really, for this first-time mom, because I thought Wow, he must be really constipated! But apparently that's just how the kid's system works.

Flash forward to Mr. Nolan. Remember him?



Yeah. Instead of going every few days, it's typical for this little dude to do it every few hours. Quite the difference.

But this past week? He's been on POOP OVERLOAD.



Between a nasty virus that swept through our house AND the arrival of several of his upper teeth (with more on the way!), I've probably spent more time changing diapers in the past week than I did when he was only days old. And I'm tired of it.

But he's worth it. Poop and all.
