Aiden is now 10 months old. He is so close to walking it is unbelieveable. He cruses along the furniture and prefers to stand over sit. He will stand on his own for a good couple of seconds and walks really well if you give him a finger for guidance.
He loves dogs, he loves playing with his toys. I think his favorite things are my toys (ie my laptop. cell phone, remote, phone, anything that lights up, beeps, and doesn't belong to him.)
He is very chatty. He says dadadadadadadada all the time. As well as bababababababa and many other uhs and ohs. But of course no mamamamama.
Yesterday in church he was playing with the boys markers. He would grab one, chew on it, then put it down. Grab the next one and do the same. Until he did it to everyone of the markers, never picking one up the second time.
Here are some of my favorite pics from this past week or so...
We got him a new carseat (don't tell, he's not supposed to be forward facing for a couple more months...shhhhhh). He loves it. This is from the first day he was in it and he was so happy.
I love his little arm on the armrest!
He likes watching outside and playing in the curtains.
I was outside and he came to the door and was watching me.
I love these pjs...yes they are halloween but they were only $2 and he needed pjs really badly!
She is the Sipes dog and while they are kicking it up in Mexico, we are taking care of JoJo.
Aiden loves dogs. It is so cute how he completely lights up, it is pure joy that comes upon his face.

This is the little hat I made Aiden this weekend. He has mittens too that match. It is a real easy pattern and was pretty fun to make. Now of course Xavier wants one...so I'll be busy for another weekend or so. I guess it will be something to keep me busy during the Super Bowl next Sunday.
We have created a little chocolate maniac. If this little boy catches you with an m&m, he will demand a taste. Last night I made chocolate chip cookies and being the top-notch parents that we are, we gave out little boy some samples. Today I decided to give him a whole cookie to see what he would do with it...turns out he had no problem with that baby at all.
Tonight me and the boys watched Kindergarten Cop which was kind of a disaster but not what this blog is about. There is a part in the movie when Arnold Schwarzenegger head butts a guy. Xavier says, "Wow he's strong just like Uncle Brenden."
Xavier was Caught with Character this week at school. Unfortunately he doesn't remember what he did to deserve such an honor but we are proud of him none the less.
It also made him buddies with the dogs at the party...
Sunday during church it was announced that the prophet would be speaking for a CES broadcast. That night as we were having dinner Xavier kept getting very anxious that we were going to miss it. He kept going over to the tv and asking what time was the prophet speaking. He was worried that we were going to miss it. Finally we set dvr to record it. After dinner and everything we sat down to watch it together. We didn't get to watch all of it do to bedtimes but it was just so cute how excited he was to see the prophet talk. It was also nice to know that he pays attention during church.

We rung in the New Year at my parents house. We had plans to play games but instead we just talked, watched movies and were silly together.
Kissing! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
