Aiden's 9 Month check up went well. He has 8 teeth now and he's needing a haircut, but I can't bring myself to do it. He hasn't grown taller since last month but he's 21lbs 4oz now. On his 9mo b-day, Aiden got his 1st cold, but it was just a cough and it went away within the week. He's been learning to "play nice" with new friends and knowing what "no touch" means. He's crawling around like a mad man and has started letting go when he's standing and he'll stand for a second on his own and then plop to his butt.

We celebrated our 4th anniversary today by taking a family trip to Pier 39. Aiden was very intrigued by the Sea Lions and loved the under water aquarium. It was in the 70's over there so it was a perfect day to go and not too crowded.

9 Months Old

Becky and I took the boys to have their pictures taken today. We had a 1pm appointment and didn't get in till 1:50pm so the boys weren't at their happiest, but the pics still turned out pretty cute. Aiden turned 9 months old today and goes in for his 9mo check up on Thursday.

The Grass Is In!

Joe's been working really hard every chance he gets to get the backyard in working shape before the rains come. He's got all the grass in and next he's starting the stairs so we can actually get to our backyard. After that, we'll get railings and I might get to do some gardening if there's any money left.

Vegas Vacation

We were in Vegas all weekend for the Softball World Series. We ended up going 4 & 2 and taking Second to a Colorado team who was very good. Joe made "Best Defensive Player" and I made All-Tourney. Our team rented a beautiful 5 bedroom house with a pool, hot tub, pool table, and 2 big screens. Aiden was in the pool every waking moment when we weren't on the field. Nana and Papa came so Aiden hung out with them and My Aunt Crystal and Uncle Duane from Wisconsin also flew out to watch us play (and gamble).

It was a great weekend and the dark circles around our eyes prove it!
