Thanksgiving and Happenings

The boys are growing so fast, yet it can be the small things that remind me that they are still my babies. Aiden got his first ear infection- wait- let me correct myself- got a double ear infection for the first time and it is the first time he got any type of ear infection. Besides moving his room around and displacing him, he has been sick. I have been sleeping near him or with him, for days now. He just wants me to be near him. As I type this, I am sitting in his room in the rocking chair listening to his breathing change from being awake to being asleep.

Eli is almost crawling. For weeks, he has been pushing himself backwards or rocking...but tonight, he actually lifted his arm. Crawling will fast be approaching. I was looking at pictures of when I was pregnant with him...it was not that long ago but yet so far away.

I must say, it has been sweet to have Aiden near me only because he has never been a cuddly child...and lately, he has been so close. I am sad it takes him being sick, but I do enjoy the closeness of him.

Trick or Treat

Aiden had a blast with Halloween this year. We went to visit Russ' coworker first. We then we went to my brother and sister-in-law's church for trick or trunking, which was an absolute blast! My sister-in-law was dressed as a moose, and it scared him to death!





He seems to be afraid of anyone with a costume that has his/her head covered. It took him a bit to get warmed up to the idea of asking people that were dressed up for candy but he got it. We then went to his great grandmother's to visit.



Eli was very ready for his supper, so while Russ fed him, I took Aiden door to door. After the first house, Aiden was ready to go! He knew what to do and was running! It took quite some time for Aiden to calm down and in the process, couldn't eat dinner due to his excitement. At bedtime, he looked at me, said goodnight, and bye-bye. That was my cue! He was one tuckered out boy!
