Hula Hoopin' Baby

When we got home Thursday, the house was warm so we headed to the basement where it's nice and cool.

Of course Aden had to turn on the Roomba and chase it around.

The nesting dolls are another favorite. He always hides the littlest one.

Music class!!! Aden was really into it. He followed Marilyn around and did everything she did.





He loved the hula hoops. We will have to get him one.



Jimmy is so much taller than Aden.

The kids love to play with the guitar.

This morning, he was very hungry. After his bottle of milk, which he is still calling bilk, he had a bowl of Kix with milk and then some puffs.

He loves sitting at his table.

Watcha looking at?





Trying on aunt Melissa's bachelorette party shot glasses.

The girls are on their way to Penn State.

It's just the boys the boys this weekend if anyone wants to hang out!

Review That Goal!

Back In It!

Yay! I'm tired but it was worth it. My dad and I went to the Flyer's game. On the way there I got a text from our Chicago salesman saying he was going to send a Blackhawk's jersey for Aden to wear. By the end of the night I texted back that I was sending a Flyer's jersey for his dog to wear! His response was that his dog has better taste than to look like a pumpkin!

The place was rocking all night.

We could easily see that the shot in the second period went over the line. They took so long to review. We were surrounded by Chicago people which made the win sweeter.

Period 4! Overtime playoff hockey is as exciting as it gets! We got home around 11:45. Amy had been awoken a few minutes before by a crying Aden. He had thrown up in his crib! She did a great job cleaning up and calming him down. We called the 24 nurse line and they said it's normal for kids this age to randomly throw up. The only thing we weren't sure about was how to clean up the mattress.

This morning, we were tired, but Aden was happy.

Hiding behind the sofa! He peeks his head up and says "Hi!"

Super Dog!

After exercising the previous two days, Melissa and I took off Monday and slept in a bit. Aden said if we aren't going for a walk, then he wanted to go to the playground.

We drove over to the Ventnor playground.

Aden is really into his sunglasses now, which is great.

It was hot in the sun, so we took turns pushing.




Nice playground. Very crowded.





Off to the Ventnor Cafe for brunch. It's under new ownership and we had a bad experience.



Oh well. I guess no more waffles banana foster for me.

We got back after 12 and chilled on the neighbors driveway. Cooper was feeling better. Aden needed a nap so we decided to skip the beach.

Bubbles!



Super Dog!

Aden still loves Chloe the best!

Ok, time for my nap.

Just like Friday, the drive was not bad. The unpacking was.

The Beach!!!

Sunday was a beautiful day. The day before, Melissa and I did a little running. Today we just walked while Amy and Aden did their own thing.

After breakfast, Aden was ready for the beach.

I forgot how much fun it was packing the cart and the stroller for the trek to the beach.



We weren't sure how Aden was going to react to all of this.

First, he stood on the blanket...

Then he tentatively walked off it.

Play time!

Just chillin' and checking out the chicks.



He wanted to get close to the ocean but not to touch it. I didn't blame him, it was so cold!





We took a walk down the beach and ran into my cousins Jen, Mike, Jacob and Jonah.

Aden ran around with the boys.

It's going to be a fun summer for Aden.



Atlantic City in the distance.

Jacob and Jonah.



Digging to China.

What a mess. We are working on an outside shower.

Aden was excited to realize that his friend from school and his little white dog are both named Chloe. After that it was Chloe everything. What a night it became. First, we realized we threw out Aden's anti-biotic, which he was halfway through. I cut myself bad and was bleeding everywhere. Melissa and I went to pick up dinner from Smith's in Somer's Point. When we got back the neighbors told us that Amy's parents had just rushed off to the hospital with Cooper the dog who had just been hit by a car! Thankfully he ended up being ok, just a little bruised. Then, to top it all off, Aden threw up everywhere.

We went to Juniors for ice cream to cheer us up!
