Crib Crisis

Okay so maybe I should have listened when so many people were telling me "You will be sorry" when it came to us letting Aiden sleep in our bed! He is now almost 10 months and we finally got him in his crib but he only sleeps there for a few hours and then wants to come cuddle with us in the big bed (can you blame him?) It was nice and comfy when he was a tiny baby but now he is 22 pounds and very strong. Richard and I get woken up at least 3 times each with a foot in our face, a punch to the jaw or a kick to the stomach...and then he flips upside down (all of this is happening and he is still asleep). I love the little guy though:) He wakes up and sits up and talks to himself, smiles and then claps and that is how I get up...what could be better?

How could you resist this face?

Sorry!

I want to apologize for not blogging in FOREVER! I am not very good at this, I think I bit off more than I could chew here. One of my New Years resolutions is to write more and post more pictures on this thing! I do have a few updates for you...Aiden is pulling up and cruising around:) He likes to stand at the coffee table and throw everything off of it (including your food if you have some sitting there). He has also learned how to grab the spoon from you if you are feeding him something he doesn't like and proceed to throw it across the room. Richard and I found carrots on our wall just yesterday. This is not good but really cute:) Aiden is also clapping and playing peek a boo! His latest trick is to crawl inside our bedroom and shut the door on your face and clap a bunch:) Have I told anyone lately that he is the best looking baby I've ever seen? I love this child more than I can even explain.

As for Daniel, he got to experience Santa for the first time this year (we haven't had him the past years AND he is Jewish so this was a big deal!) He loved it! He got so involved and wanted to leave carrots out for the reindeers on Christmas Eve and his eyes got so big when he woke up Christmas morning and saw the carrots were gone! I made the mistake of teaching Daniel the song that goes "When you are sliding into first and you feel a little burst....." do you know what comes next? He sings it all the time now. WHOOOPS! We found a park by our house so we have had so much fun taking the boys there and watching Aiden in the baby swing and Richard and Daniel swinging from a tree reinacting Indiana Jones:)

And as for Richard and I...we need to go on a date...ha! We keep trying to plan a movie or something but I don't want to leave Aiden...ha! I have to get past this, I know. We are asleep on the couch everynight at 8:30...WATCH OUT! I am going to give Richard a shout out and just say that I love him very much, and he is the best dad to these boys! The way these boys look up to their dad is a great thing to watch.

I love my family:)
