Can We Just Forget This Weekend?

All I can say is what a weekend and by that I mean I have no idea what happened. If you remember, Aden had a stomach thing Weds and I stayed home with him Thursday. Well, for some reason Aden got up screaming Saturday morning around three. He wouldn't calm down so I took him downstairs, gave him some milk and watched a little Sesame Street with him. About 3:30 it hit me. I just remember saying to Amy, you need to watch him and pretty much that's all I remember until Sunday morning. I will save you from any more details except to say that I lost 3 pounds!

So, needless to say, there are not a lot of pictures. (just a refrigerator of food that I wasn't able to eat) Friday night was the calm before the storm. We just chilled, waiting for the snow which was supposed to start by 5 but didn't until almost 10.

Ok, bed time.

Which brings us to Sunday. I somehow missed almost 30 inches of snow falling. I'm glad I thought ahead to have my driveway cleared. I was feeling better and Amy was anxious to get out of the house so we made a quick trip to Bloomingdales.

Took a few shots as we were leaving.

There were no tracks out back. Where are the animals?

Aden found a friend at Bloomies.

Who he took everywhere.

It was very quiet there. We got Aden a few things for Florida then headed home to watch the Superbowl.

Aden found the game very exciting.

All ready for school Monday morning. He starts saying "car" and goes and gets his jacket and hands it to us. I guess he likes going to school.

Feeling Better

It's Friday and we are waiting for the snow. I went to the market and bought a ton of food but there was no milk or bread! Yesterday Aden acted normal but didn't really eat all day. He didn't sleep either so I had to entertain him, which is tough to do for hours at a time. This morning his appetite was back and he seemed back to normal so I took him to school.

I kept him busy watching videos while I got us ready. So happy there are nice long Sesame Street clips on Youtube.

He wasn't thrilled to go to school. He even fought me putting his jacket on so I gave up. Once he got to school, he was fine.

Yuck

It's Thursday around 12 and I'm home with Aden. While Amy was driving him home from school yesterday, he threw up! He didn't seem sick and was in good spirits and was clearly hungry so we fed him dinner. He then threw up again. This was the first time he ever threw up! After his bath, he wanted to play put the Mum Mums on your head.

He seemed fine this morning but we decided to keep him home. We called the school and they said it's going around but every kid so far just threw up once or twice then it was over. Hopefully he will go back tomorrow and not catch anything for once!

Step By Step

NKOTB

Snow! Amy's mom and sister had a two hour delay. Poor Amy had to leave at 7:30 like she always does. The snow looked pretty but I don't see why any delays were needed.

Last night, Aden was playing a little golf while mommy was at the gym.

He's getting pretty good!

Aden and mommy were rocking out to New Kids on the Block! They were on Jimmy Fallon and sounded really good. Brought back memories.

Highlights - Gone

Amy's new cut! Looks great.

Last night, Aden discovered the plastic utensils.

I'm going to post some more videos. Sorry if you are having trouble with them. I'm not sure what the problem is. Sometimes if you jiggle the bar under the videos, they will work better.

All Belly All The Time

It's Monday! I am super tired as the darling baby kept getting up last night. Friday we got a call from our babysitter looking for some work so she came over and we went to the new Mt. Fuji in Newtown/Langhorne as they call it but it's actually Langhorne. It was packed and even though they quoted us a 45 minute wait, we stayed and were seated in about 10. We ended up at a hibachi table with a bunch of high school girls. We got a kick out of their conversations. Did we talk like that in high school?

The food was really good and the place itself was beautiful.

Saturday, we went to Avalon to pick out hardwood then grabbed a quick bite at Wegmans. Amy got a haircut from Melissa's girl for the first time and it came out great. I will post a picture later. That was it for the day. Aden never even got out of his pj's! He is getting quite good at golf though.

Aden drinks water out of a cup and spits it out and laughs. Normally we wouldn't be thrilled by that but we are just so happy he is using a cup now. Video to follow.

Sunday we got some stuff done around the house. I got soaked trying to change the whole house water filter but I think it's ok now. You are supposed to wash out the housing before you replace it, but how do you do that if the water is turned off?

Yesterday was Tracy and Michael's new son Paul's Christening party.

We were last at Chris and Verne's house in November when the puppy was still a baby. The next 3 are flashback pictures. Molly has gotten so much bigger!





Maddie was born a few weeks before Aden but he was more interested in the older girls.

All belly all the time.

The man of the hour!

He has always liked the older girls.

Aden won at Uno!

He was pretty quiet at the party. Sometimes he gets shy.

Hey Maddie!

Maddie has really tall parents. Maybe that's why she's taller than Aden. We went right from the party to pick up food from Ben and Irv's and bring it to my parents. Aden was a bit cranky so we didn't stay long. I guess we should have known his sleep would be off.
