Google Analytics is FREAKING me out!


So I added Google Analytics on our little blog here because I'm nerdy and nosey enough to keep track of all you crazies out there (thanks Ben for sharing this little tool!). But now it is starting to freak me out a little bit.

This great little thing tells me where everyone is that looks at our site. So of course most of our viewers are in Kansas, Utah, California and Texas. That all makes sense, we have friends and family in all those areas. Now sometimes some random states will pull up and I think that is a little weird...I'm pretty sure we don't know anyone in Ohio but I could be wrong. If I do, I'm sorry I'm not thinking about you at the moment.

But then Tuesday we got a couple of random hits in Germany. Yesterday, Latvia. Then today, Netherlands. Anoter one is a mystery place that even Google can't track. This kinda freaks me out a little bit. I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone in the Netherlands and I'm absoletely positive we know no one in Latvia.

So to our Latvia and Netherland fans, I hope you are enjoying our little blog here...

Aiden: 3 months old

A couple of weeks ago, Nicole Coleman took pictures of all three boys. I love her work so I can't wait to see what she did. We should be hearing from her by next week.

However, after she took their pictures I got to thinking of Damon's and Xavier's 3 month picture. We had both of their pictures taken at JCPenney with a cute little newsboy hat I got Damon for his first Easter. So I thought, this might be a big regret I have one day if I don't get a similar picture of Aiden.

Yesterday, I ran Aiden down to Sears. (Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Little for taking the boys to Kung Fu Panda!) Now, I'm really not the biggest fan of Sears Portraits (honestly I think they suck) but his pictures turned out way cute.

But really, how can you get a bad picture of this cute baby!



Yesterday Aiden was exactly 3 months old. He has been such a good baby! I've never really had a bad baby but he is just awesome. He's a good little eater, he never has to eat for very long. He is strong and healthy. He does that cute little cooing and baby talk, soon I'll take a video of it because it is adorable. (Damon and Xavier never did this so I love it! Damon was a super quiet baby and Xavier was a screamer.) Plus, he sleeps a good 9-10 hours at night, plus take 2-3 naps during the day. Hopefully, he'll keep up the good sleep schedule while the boys are in school so I can get a lot of work done during that time...I can't wait!

Damon entertaining Aiden




Aiden loves to have his hands and feet clapped. It is a guaranteed way to get him to smile and laugh.

Finally...


After 6+ months of 4 loose teeth, Damon finally lost his first tooth last night at dinner. It was a very exciting moment as we ate our Quesadillas and fruit to hear, "Hey, I lost my tooth." We have been getting on him to wiggle his teeth because they were just hanging (as you can tell the other front top one is hanging pretty low). His two front bottom teeth are also loose so the toothfairy will be making a lot of stops at our house. We keep offering to hit them out for him but money alone is not a good enough incentive for physical abuse...at least not for Damon.


After the tooth excitement, Damon had his second t-ball game. It should have been his 4th game but we keep getting rain on Thursday game days. Damon was excited for Aiden to wear his baseball outfit for his game...



Xavier "loves" watching Damon play. Here he is messing around with his chair, of course he did end up hitting the man sitting infront of him. It was good times trying to get him to apologize.



Earlier that day I had given Aiden his first taste of rice cereal with a spoon. He took it pretty well. He has been enjoying a rice bottle at night for the past week or two but this was the first try with a spoon.

Sunday he had mashed potatoes at Grandma Littles which he totally loved. He would cry if I tried to stop.

Trip to Omaha

We left for Omaha on Friday for an overnight trip with Adam's parents.

We were able to attend the temple on Friday night.




We don't normally have our boys at the temple in their pjs but it was pretty late when we got out of the temple. They still look cute right?



Damon taking care of Aiden at the Hotel.


Saturday we went to the Omaha Zoo and to the IMAX theatre to see a 3-D Ocean Movies. The boys really loved it. Damon kept trying to "grab" the fish. Xavier kept saying, "This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen." Unfortuately we did not have room in the car for the stroller and dumb me forgot to pack the baby carrier...so we had to rig up a little place for Aiden. We rented a wagon, bought a cute elephant umbrella to protect him from the sun, and ta-da...this is what you get!

Some other fun pictures at the zoo...



After the zoo we headed back home. We stopped at Nebraska City for dinner at Lil Dickies...seriously who names a restaurant Lil Dickies?? It was good food though...and great pie!
