Time to Catch up...

I know it has been a while...but not as long as it has been for some of you. Wah ta wonderful few weeks we have had. We took Aiden on his very first Cancer Walk, The Revlon Walk, Mother's Day weekend. I think Jimmy and his mom have been almost every year since we have been dating. It is definately a fun adventure. This year we got the added bonus of enjoying some yummy burritos at Tepeyac (sp). If your ever in LA you need to check out this Mexican Holy Shack. Oh yeah the burritos are yummy!!!! After lunch or BrUnNer (Breakfast,Lunch and dinner) we got wonderful news that Baby Sydney Elise was born. So of course I had to drag Barbara to the hospital with me at 11pm that night.

celebrated my very first Mother's Day by hosting a BBQ here for Barbara, Mando, Char, Brian, Brooke, Lil B, Aiden, Jimmy and Myself. For those of you who know me know this is exactly how I would LOVE to spend every weekend, cooking for those I love. (My parents were in Italy for their 25th wedding anniversary). Jimmy thank you so much for my beautiful rose bushes one from you and one from the best son in MY world.

Yesterday we had another BBQ here for Grandpa Dan's 92nd Birthday. It was too much fun. The best part was that I by the time the last guests left the house was back to normal. Brian, Lil B, Mando and Barbara thank you so much.

We are gearing up for the big 1st Birthday Party here in a few weeks and we can't wait for it. I cannot believe how fast a year has gone by and how much Aiden has grown. I think he might of taken a few steps today if I wasn't so damn anxious and didn't run to him b/c I was afraid he would fall. Arg!!! Maybe he will walk by his bday...but maybe he will just tease us. Either way I am so proud of him and all his milestones thus far.

Somewhere in there we had Dylan stay with us for a week and Aiden learned to clap. It has been a busy few weeks. Sorry I am so far behind.

And Jimmy took Aiden to My Gym!!!!

Reminiscing

As we get closer to the arrival of a baby cousin for Aiden and Aiden's 1st birthday, I can't help but think back. It has been almost 48 weeks since Aiden was born and I don't remember my life before that. I can't believe what a wonderful 11 months these have been. I used to always think that I need a ton of sleep but I don't think so anymore. Aiden surprises us everyday with a brand new "trick". He is crawling, cruising, pulling himself up onto anything and everything. He plays Peek a Boo, throw his hands up we he can't find something, loves Mango, Grapes, Pears and anything we feed him. Except I don't think he cared for the Beet I gave him last week. Sometimes I think he thinks I am a CRAZY lady but I know he loves me. Yesterday I asked Aiden where daddy was and he crawled over to the front door and started crying. I won't do that again. He gives kisses to his daddy's pictures all day long. For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to meet Aiden yet you need to soon. He is so happy!!! Here are some pics.
