get well soon

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us this week. We are hoping everything will be ok with my job, but it's really a day by day thing. Aiden is a little better but still not "well". He's still not doing well eating, drinking much, or sleeping at night. We are dosing him up with meds and hoping to see improvement. He woke up yesterday morning and realized he had his voice back and immediately started screaming. Thank goodness for such great family- Aunt Kim brought him a stuffed puppy and ice cream that he has really enjoyed and Nonna brought him some yummy dumplins that I was surprised to see him gobble down, and my mom was able to take care of Aiden this week while I tried to work.
However Aiden was kind enough to pass his sickness on to me and so now Brandon has had to be our caregiver. Again thank you for great family, my mom and dad had to take care of Aiden and I both while Brandon was at work. We are now praying that Brandon doesn't get it and we continue to get well. Also 2 post ago I mentioned everything we had said Bye Bye to.... they have all (except the foward car seat) made their way back into Aiden's schedule since being sick. We also had plans of breaking him from the paci before his first birthday....hahaha, try taking a paci away from a sick child!!!
On that note for those of you counting:
1 week til the big day!!!

we need prayers!!!

My family needs prayers Aiden is the sickest he has ever been and my job needs prayers the economy is giving us all a scare and def my job right now!!! on the bright side:
10 MORE DAYS TIL LITTLE MANS BDAY!!!

bye bye

Our family has said many Bye Bye's this week and will continue to over the next few weeks:

Bye Bye:

baby food

high chairs (only at school though)

bottles

formula

rear car seats

morning naps

Aiden has moved to a new class at school and they only eat solid foods, sit at tables, and no morning naps. Aiden has actually adjusted well.

Now that he has 4 teeth we have made a habit of brushing them day and night and Aiden LOVES it.

eating at the table at school and doing such a good job. we are having to learn to stay at the table until everyone is done because his teacher says when he is done he just gets up and goes to play. So well mannered already! :)

Pizza.....

This weekend we experimented with a new food for Aiden... PIZZA!! He must take after his mom and dad because he loved it. Almost ate the whole slice. Also he got a new trunk to put all his toys in or maybe I should say to put himself in....

YUMMY!!

Mom, I'm about to tear into that piece
What's in here?
