Our newest walker...

Well, we have hit a new milestone and it is a big one. Ayden started walking a couple of weeks ago. We aren't sure if she did this on her own free will or because we gave her a Jenny Craig ultimatum. Needless to say, she looks a lot like Chris after a few Jameson's. She would stay up longer on her feet if she could walk without belly laughing. She gets herself laughing so hard, she tips right over. Her feet are in constant motion as if she is walking on stilts. It is so funny to watch.

She has made great strides in the past 6 months with us. We are working on her talking a bit more. We will be relieved when her vocabulary broadens beyond "DA!!!" Even though this is her only word, she uses it often and very loudly and for the most part gets

her way. While Garrett talks non stop, Ayden is by far the loudest. I guess she is eager to be heard. She has added so much to our family.

April April April.....

We spent part of our spring break visiting my parents. The kids enjoyed the beach and searching for shells and shark teeth with Pop Pop. We had been working on Ayden walking... as a result, she became quite stubborn and would lay down in the sand and not move. People were actually walking over her. I think she would have fallen asleep if we had let her. Well... we got her to walk... finally.


We have been enjoying the warmer weather and are counting down the days for summer vacation. We have a few fun short trips planned and we cannot wait to have the time off to play.
