Updates

We got Aidan's 9 month pictures the a couple of weeks ago in his spiffy sweater and they turned out really cute!

I had to go to Arizona this past week for training for my new job. It was really hard to leave, even for a just a few days, but I learned a lot. I certainly would have taken Aidan and Bones if I could have!


I got to enjoy the lovely Arizona weather; it was between 80 and 90 the whole time and I loved it! I stayed in Fountain Hills just across the street from the tallest fountain in North America (literally every local I talked to went on and on about how amazing this fountain is.) It was pretty cool when I finally got to check it out, but it is just a fountain after all.


We tried on Aidan's monkey costume today and this time he didn't scream, he actually seemed to enjoy it, so we took a few pictures just in case he decides he hates it again by this weekend :)

It's Not Her Fault...

Molly went to the vet yesterday and he said she needs to lose a few pounds. I think she looks beautiful, but apparently her life changes this year have caused her to get fat (she lost her friend to play with, she doesn't always get her walks because sometimes we are too busy with Aidan and we have also been giving her extra treats to make up for her lost attention...). It probably also doesn't help that she sleeps most of the day and when she is not sleeping she is eating or finding a new place to sleep (although she has not yet reached Maggie-proportions with her laziness!)
So, here's to Molly's new diet of only dog food and healthy dog treats and we will do our best to give her a walk every day!

I am adorably precious. So why does no one comment on my fantastic blog? I just don't understand the anarchy!

I love socks!!! (In a cool, manly way, of course...)

Grandma sent me some presents this week and I have been enjoying them. These are new socks that happen to match my outfit perfectly! Thanks, Grandma!

Fire Engine Maniac

I know that it has been awhile since we have posted anything. The other day we got out Aidan's fire engine (thanks Lee, Hillary and Olyvia), and he loves it even though he can't touch the ground yet. That means McCall and I get to push him around chasing Molly. Aidan loves to push the buttons and rock back and forth while the music plays.

We took Aidan to his 9 month check-up today even though it is a little early. He weighs exactly 14 pounds and he is 25 1/2 inches long. So he is still in the 5th percentile :) He is growing steadily though and healthy, so all is good.

In other news, McCall will be starting a new job in a couple of weeks. She gave her notice at work today and was promptly escorted out of the building since she is going to work for a competitor. The new job should be a great opportunity, though and she will be able to work from home, which will give her more flexibility and more time with Aidan. Plus, now she has a couple of weeks off until her new job starts!
