Emma and Aidan's blogs

I know I have some followers that only check Emma's blog. Aidan does have a blog on a different site and if you want to follow that one it is: http://aidan-memoirs.livejournal.com I am thinking about combining there blogs into one, b/c I have a hard enough time updating one, since Emma is over a year now, I thought I could creat one that was for both of them, make it easier on me atleast! ha!

I need to upload some new pictures I've taken, things have been super crazy around our house with an open house recently and Aidan still getting over this stomach bug which I just found out today it was bacteria related and not a virus, you can read more about that on his blog. Emma is just getting around so fast these days, she doesn't even crawl anymore, but her poor legs are showing a new walker, she has scraps and bruises from tripping and falling down, but she usually just brushes it off and keeps on going, much different than her brother! ha! She is so adventurous as well, when we go to the playground she wants to climb up there right behind Aidan. We went to the park yesterday and I let her climb up behind Aidan and I had to climb up behind her, not the most fun for me, but I didn't want to deny her the enjoyment of climbing up to the slide. She climbed all the way up to the top and it was a huge slide probably about 10 feet or more off the ground, I tried to make her lay on her back and slide her down with Chris waiting at the bottom and he said she was grining from ear to ear when she got to the bottom! Fearless! It took Aidan probably until he was 2 1/2 to get up the nerve to go down big slides. I think I am going to have my hands full with Emma. :)

Emma trying to Swing

I just had to post this video that my mom took of Emma last weekend. She has had this baby swing for a while and Papa Rick has yet to put it up and Emma discovered it while playing and tried her best to swing in it and is clearly upset with her Papa for not having it up for her. too cute!



I ran across this video of Aidan when he first started walking, so cute when they are learning how to walk. It really doesn't seem like that long ago. He's 3 now and he and Emma both started walking around 15 months.
