Firsts

Well this week Aiden has officially been sick for the first time. Yeah, at almost a year he has his first cold. At the beginning of the week he was very lethargic, grumpy, feverish and snotty. Not much you can do for an infant with a cold from what we have gathered, other than try to suck out the nose and give comfort.

More snot has come out of our little boy in the past week than I think I have ever seen. Every time he sneezes we get a big huge ball of green phlegm, and if we don't get it with a tissue in time, he rubs it all over his face. Yuck! He seems to be getting better now, the fever is gone, and he seems to only really be congested in the morning, but you can still tell he isn't feeling 100%. But even at 75% he is still one happy little dude.

Today we got another first. Aiden's grandad and nana sent him his first 1st birthday present. He got a red wagon to ride around in. As you will see in the pictures below, he wanted to help put it together, and then he really enjoyed spending a portion of his afternoon in it. Yeah, we let him open it a little early, but that's okay... he'll never know the difference.

Yeah, it is hard to believe, but our little one is almost a year old already. Who can believe, in 10 days he will officially be a year old. Time really does fly by. I am so glad that I have been able to spend the first year of his life at home with him. There has been so much to see and explore with him... It has been an amazing year.

Here's a few pictures and a video for you to enjoy. :-)
