Up and Ready to go!

Even though we went out of town the Friday after Thanksgiving I am glad to report that I got right to work on decorating our home the day after we got back from O-town. Put up our stockings, ornaments, Christmas village, wreaths... you name it! Although it is Omi's third Christmas, it is really the first year he is able to help putting up the ornaments. Omar even had him place the star on the tree. He loved it! Such a show boat that kid, after every ornament he placed on the tree he would say "TAH DAH!" Plus we also were given a nice little dance afterward as well. Aiden although is VERY mobile, and itching to get his mitts on the Christmas ornaments did not do much. We thought it would be safest for our tree and everyone else involved that Mr. Aiden Eric not to partake in this year's decorating the tree. Next year my little goblin---- you can help, this year he just decided to nibble on the ornaments he was given. Not to mention that he manages to snatch an ornament every now and than off of the tree and dash to his room laughing. The cutest sight.

This week I also had Omi do some ornaments out of foam sheets. Yes, the actual shapes were cut out already... but he did ALL the pasting on his own. He did really well too, by just looking at the pictures he pretty much did them exactly as they were pictured.

This picture was taken by Omi. Proud as a peacock that little guy. His favorite part of taking pictures is being able to see the picture right after.

I need to have our names written on them, but LOOK! It is the Falcon Family (as little teddy bears- which Aiden cannot seem to control himself around)

And yes, in case you did not ALREADY know little Aiden is not so little anymore. Our tiny baby is getting closer and closer to no longer being a baby. He has been walking since about nine and a half months! Omi walked relatively early at 11 months... but Aiden Eric is following in his Mama's foot steps and accelerating his walking status. He is so swift, that little guy gets around too quickly. Naturally him starting to walk only means that it was his time to officially step foot on a baseball field for the first time (alone).
