Aidan is 1 year old!

Look who's 1! We recently celebrated Aidan's first birthday. We sang Happy Birthday to him several times because he enjoyed it so much. He was interested in his cake and especially the lit candle on top. We had to hold his hands down so he didn't burn himself trying to touch the flame.Alex helped Aidan celebrate - they love each other and get along so well. They are so funny to watch, and mutually tolerant of each other: Aidan is patient when Alex carries him around the house, and Alex is patient when Aidan hits him on the head (which happens quite often since Aidan thinks it's so fun - I think he's playing with his hair, but it does come across as a bit of a pat).Aidan got a special birthday dinner that included his first capri sun and some yummy BBQ chicken pizza. His peas and carrots even matched his outfit.Aidan enjoyed playing in his cake - of course we stripped him down to a diaper first so he could get as messy as he wanted.
This is one of the new toys he got for his birthday. Even though it's meant for 1 year-olds, I have found it also entertains 6 year-olds. :)
Aidan loves pancakes and always insists on eating the big piece I leave instead of the little bite-sized pieces I have broken off for him. He is always a big helper in the kitchen.
He is walking and clapping and waves hello to Alex every morning.He loves to play with the remote control and really thinks he's getting away with something if he gets a hold of it.Lately, he is loving sleeping with a knitted blanket. I can always tell if he's ready to go down if he grabs the blanket and cuddles it against his face. Aidan is definitely one of the happiest babies around, with a smile for everyone. He's been such a joy and blessing to our family.
We love you, baby A! Happy Birthday!
