Our Weekend
Our weekend started out by heading to the basketball game Friday night. It started out with the ladies beating Cannon County. This was a huge win for them and we were pretty excited. After that we stayed for the boys Varsity game. During halftime of the boys game they brought last years team out to recognize them. All the boys except for a few showed up due to illness or traveling. The boys received a standing ovation for all of their hard work, dedication, and success last year. It was pretty amazing to watch!
Saturday we played with our little man all day and managed to get some cleaning done. Then a friend of ours watched Aiden for us Sat night and Adam and I had a date night. We just had a simple dinner and walked around the mall for a little bit. It was so nice to have a conversation without being interrupted, or having to go chase him :) We have quite the active little boy! His stride is getting faster by the day it seems!
Sunday we went to church and then when we got home I snuck upstairs to wrap our little mans gifts. We celebrated our little Christmas with him. We gave him a stocking and a few wrapped gifts. He has gotten quite good at unwrapping the gifts since his last time back on his birthday back in Feb. He did not seem to understand though that if he keeps reaching in his stocking there would be more in there for him! That took a few tries!
This week Adam will be running a baseball camp for the younger kids in the area. We then look forward to spending the holidays with both the Childs and Murawskis.

2013 changes :)
Its weird to think that Christmas is 13 days and then we will be headed into the new year.
This year has had so many amazing memories for us through all different aspects of our lives. 2013 is sure to bring so more changes and amazing times for us!
Adam is officially registered for classes and started his masters program in Education. This will be about an 18 month program with one class at a time for 5 weeks at a time. He will continue coaching the baseball team. His team has been working hard during their workouts and he is ready to get the season going!
Aiden has really taken on a lot of new words this last week or two. As we say new words he seems to pick up on them pretty quickly. He is still stubborn on some on them, will not say please, thank you or more, he prefers to use sign language for those (and I have heard him say them!) He has started swinging the bat and can hit the balls some of the time (none of this with Adam teaching him, I think he has just been around the baseball boys a ton). Last day or two he has one to start pitching to us and we hold the bat. I must say its pretty cute! :)
We are excited to announce the second biggest blessing we could ask for! God is blessing us with another baby! We are expecting baby #2! Baby is due June 28 right after baseball season :)

Our Little Allstar

Family, Elephants and Cars OH MY!
It has been quite a busy 6 weeks or so in this household! Back in the end of October we had Adam's brother Jason and his family come stay with us for the weekend. They have Lexi, 7 and Addi who he is 6 days older then Aiden, so as you can imagine it was quite a fun weekend! We took them to the discovery center and then Trick or Trunk at our Church. Aiden then developed his first ear infection the next day ( I know thats pretty good for a 21 month old!).
The next weekend Adam's younger brother Blake came down to go to their first ever Bear's game. The game was a little cold for my taste, but it was an amazing win on the Bears part. Aiden had so much fun wrestling around with his Uncle Blake.
Then about two weeks later we headed up North for Thanksgiving. We spent the first few days in New Haven and did Thanksgiving day there (first time ever since we have been married!) It was a blast and all of Adam's siblings were there and the kids all got to play together. We then headed down to Indy to see my family. Aiden was able to play with Alex his cousin (they are 6 months and 6 days apart). They seemed to have alot of fun playing and "sharing" toys together.
Since being home, Aiden got another cold and I spent a week fighting Bronchitis. Needless to say Aiden has had lots of good moments with daddy this past week!
Now for Aiden Changes:
Over the last month or so Aiden has become a huge daddy's boy. The moments are nice but its hard to see when he cries at the door when he leaves :(
He is pretty stubborn with some of his words. He has said more and please but prefers to sign those when he is asking for something.
He is getting a ton better with knowing his body parts. He knows his hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue (which is out all the time courtesy of Childs' traits!), arm, elbow, belly button, leg, knee and feet!
We are working on the colors and he can say blue pretty well (not always sure which one it is though :) )
He does not watch too much TV but the one show he watches is Babar. Not one I had ever heard of but seems a lot of people watched growing up, pretty cute about elephants and his animal friends. Most of the time he will watch a few minutes of it and then he is off climbing on to something!
He has started picking up his bat and has started to get a pretty great swing (one proud daddy!), he also does this with the golf clubs (sorry Papa).
And last but not least the little bug has figured out the IPAD. He was able to play a few games before however now he has figured out how to unlock, and he scrolls right to his apps. He has a Mickey Mouse clubhouse, Chugginton, and a Cars app. The whole time on Cars he is vroom vrooming with his mouth and trying to drive it.
I think this about updates over our last crazy month or so! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Bedtime
So bedtime has been quite rough lately. Aiden went from going down anywhere between 6:30-7pm and waking up around 6am, occasionally waking up once at night. It took us over a year to get there but he was a pretty awesome sleeper. Last week changed it all. Aiden started waking up about 7 to 9 times a night just screaming. We would pick him up and he would fall right asleep. Lay him down in the crib and he would stand up screaming again. He would not nap in his crib either. This kid had to be in the deepest sleep before you could lay him down in his crib and he would sleep. Thankfully Adam was on fall break so we had some good tag teaming going on. So by the end of the week we were pretty tired and he made it into bed with us ( I know, not good...but he needed sleep and we needed sleep). He slept great on the pillow and had much more room to stretch around. So on Monday we decided to take the front of his crib off and make it a toddler bed.
So night one. Adam lays down with him to go to bed. Aiden keeps reaching his hand over the side to make sure he is still there and he falls asleep. This takes about ten minutes, not too bad. Aiden rolled off the bed twice that night and woke himself up (we are talking maybe a 6inch roll off) and would go right back to sleep after we calmed him down (normally about a min or so). So first night was a big success compared to how the previous week had been.
Night two. Again Adam lays on the floor with him as he goes to bed to reassure him that he is in there. He has to do this about 5 minutes. We lay two pillows down on the floor at the open part of the bed (so if he rolls off, he rolls onto the pillows). I go into check on him in right before I go to bed and he is snuggled up on the floor next to his pillows. He never woke himself up when he rolled out, yet just snuggled himself up with his blanket! Too Cute! We decided to pick him up and lay him back in bed. (Not our best move!) It of course woke him up and took him about ten minutes to get back to sleep. After that he woke up once around 4am and Adam we able to get him back to sleep pretty easily.
Night three. Again Adam lays on the floor next to Aiden to help him fall asleep. Aiden grabs his blanket and crawls down to sleep on daddys chest ( I know, too cute!), so Adam puts him back into bed. A minute later Aiden crawls back down to lay on his chest, Adam tells him to go back to bed so Aiden crawls right back up to bed and falls asleep. When we go into check on him at bedtime, Aiden again is on the floor, this time with his head on the pillow, snuggled up like a big boy! It was too cute and after the night before, we decided to leave him on the floor. He woke up around 4am. When Adam went in there he calmed down right away (he said it seemed like he was scared because he did not know where he was). Aiden did not do so well after about 20 mins and would not fall asleep, so Adam gave in and brought him to bed. Not a habit we want to get into!!! This is only the 3rd time we have ever done it!
So our conclusion....The big boy bed has definitely made a big difference in his sleeping. I think since he is moving around so much he kept bumping into his crib and waking himself up. Now we need to figure out if he just needs to move to a bigger bed so he has more room and he might sleep better! Wish us luck on night four!

1st Haircut
We finally decided to break down and get Aiden's first haircut. After the baseball boys kept calling it a mullet ( so not even close to one) and the pionerette girls were putting it into a ponytail (yes a small one), we decided it was probably time to make the plunge. So we went to my hairstylist who Aiden knows, and came prepared with a sucker.
We put the fishy cape on and got started. The first few minutes Aiden sat there quiet, unsure (and so was mommy!), and staring at himself in the mirror.
But my little boy was a pro! He never cried or got fussy once. Once she got going after a few minutes he started in on the sucker and sat on mommy's lap the whole time. Quite a proud mama moment!
We took a little off the top, the ponytail length in the back and shorten it up around the ears. Afterwards he looked like such a big boy and his hair looked fuller!
He did such an amazing job!
Besides his haircut, we decided to take Aiden to the zoo on Adam's Fall Break. We drove the short, insanely gorgeous drive to Chattanooga yesterday to take him to the zoo and a park.
Aiden called everything a dog for the most part, but did say bird for the first time! We were very curious about the animals!
We say monkeys
And peacocks in our walkway!
And tried to pet a goat!
A perfect day with my two amazing boys!
