Happy Nine Months little lady

Ms. Corinna fancy pants is now 9 months old. And just to be dramatic, she took her first (semi) steps on her 9 month birthday! She is cruising around like crazy and loves rousing games of peekaboo and don't get me started on the crowd pleaser pat-a-cake. She's got 4 teeth right now with a 5th poking through. She still believes her brothers are HILARIOUS and dad has gotten a new found sweet spot in Corinna's eyes. Her favorite activities are continually ripping glasses off of anyone wearing them (her favorites include Jake, Daddy, and Grandpa) and getting into the dog water and food bowl. We've literally had a brand new toy out a few feet away from the dog dish, and she made a bee line for the dog dish. Her middle name could be "persistance" because she doesn't give up. I can't believe it's been 9 months already!!

Happy Birthday AIDAN!

Our big guy turned 4! Hard to believe it! He had a great birthday celebration. I made cupcakes (with Buzz Lightyear decorations) and Spike, Corinna, and I brought them to preschool for a class party. It was awesome, he had all his pals, a special hat, and boy did he get a kick out of Spike seeing his school! The teachers were wonderful and welcomed us and made Aidan feel really special.

He had opened a few gifts before school (Jake got to open 2 also, so he didn't feel bad) and then magically when he got home from school, there were MORE presents. Oh what fun for him!

Saturday was his Toy Story themed birthday party. Aside from his Aunts and grandpa, we just invited a few friends from his preschool class. It worked out since it was the first time we'd ever had to hold a party inside. Boy--inside parties accentuate the crazy! The cake was so much fun to make. And Aidan LOVED it. As I gave him a kiss good night, he looked up at me and said "I loved my cake." totally unsolicited and so mushy-gushy feeling. Aw.

He CLEANED up in the gift department. Every single one was his favorite pretty much. Lots of Toy Story themed gifts including a Wii game which the whole family has played. Grandpa picked up an old fashioned scooter which both boys have been scooting around on and loving. Happy Birthday little man.
