Countdown has begun

There are only 42 more days of school! I am very ready for summer to be hre so I can spend each and every day with my sweet angel. I have big plans of relaxing and going to the pool and the beach. Probably a trip to mia's house in there somewhere too. Bring on the warm summer weather!!!

IPhone

So today we got new phones-iPhones. They are so much neater than I ever imagined! There are so many interesting apps than I ever thought! I can even blog from my phone like I am right now. I certainly hope I continue to get a lot of use out of this phone!

Pantry Playing

He loves to climb completely into the cupboard and pull everything out.

Getting into trouble already

Aiden trying to escape through the doggy door-someday he will go through it.

Looking back...

So tonight I was finally downloading pictures to my computer, facebook, and shutterfly. As I was doing this, I kept looking back at some of the older pictures of both Aiden and me. What a difference! He was so tiny just a few months ago and I was so much bigger just a few months ago! I know that Aiden was a cute baby, but he just keeps getting cuter to me. Time really does fly and Aiden will be starting kindergarten just around the corner!

Becoming All Natural

When we first had Aiden, we knew we wanted to breastfeed, make homemade babyfood, use sweet smelling Johnson's and Johnson's lotions, and use disposable diapers for convenience and money saving. I feel lately like I am turning into a natural mother! We were successfully able to breastfeed and are continuing to do so. We have made our own babyfood and have been successful so far. Because of Aiden's sensitive skin, we have had to switch to Dove soap and Eucerin lotion. I am looking into switching to Burt's Bees all natural shampoo and soaps now though. And, the biggest change of events is that we have transitioned to CLOTH DIAPERS!!!!! I absolutely never thought I would be saying this! According to studies, an average family will spend $2,000-3,000 on disposable diapers per child! After buying each of the items needed for cloth diapering, we are still well under $400! And, we'll be able to use those for each of our children. I know that I always was trying to make the best choices for Aiden and for our budget, but it does feel so weird to be a totally all natural family.

Aiden's version of talking at almost 5 months

Recording this has made me realize how quickly time is flying and how very few videos I have of my sweet child! I need to start taking more videos and pictures before he is completely grown up.
