Here's a stack of pictures from Aiden's 1 year Birthday party.

Yup.. .our little man is 1 today. It has been such a wonderful year of adventures. Amazingly, our little 7 pnd 5 oz. bundle who barely even seemed a handful 365 days ago is now a 21 pound, walking, jabbering, exploring, dancing little dude.

Aiden was surrounded by lots of friends and family for his birthday party over the weekend. In all 5 babies attended the party, along with parents, Aiden's Aunt's and Uncle, All of his grandparents with the exception of mommy's dad who was on a business trip, and of course his mommy and daddy.

It was a very long day for Aiden, and in the end I think he was pretty exhausted when it got to be time to open presents. He sat in a bit of a daze as mommy and daddy ripped away the wrapping paper. Lots and lots of new toys for Aiden to play with, almost all make lots of noise to give mommy and daddy headaches, but they all are learning toys as well, which is always a good thing. It's too early to call which new toy is his favorite, but he got several musical instrument toys to play with and he loves making noise with those. He also got a lawn mower and a tonka truck that make cool sounds when he plays with them. The fridge magnet animal farm is pretty cool, but hasn't stayed on the fridge for more than about ten minutes unless he was asleep.

We also asked for Dr. Seuss books along with toys so that daddy can read to him when it is bedtime, we received something like 10 books for daddy to read. Some are tongue twister books (Fox in Sox is an early reader book?!?) some are full out books that will take many nights to read to him, and all give me the opportunity to instill the love of books into the little fella, and that is the goal.

A big Thank you to everyone who was here, thank you for all of the gifts, thank you to those who sent cards and gifts. Aiden will be drawing up thank you cards soon for everyone, he may even sign them himself, but in the meantime, know that our family was so thrilled with how things turned out for our little boy's first birthday!

Here's some pictures... video to follow. ;-)
