New Year's Eve

Wearing her party dress.

My Mom's attempt at turning Aiden into a little Mainer. :-)

Christmas Morning 2009

FYI - Santa brought the Whisky for Sean, not Aiden.

The following images cannot quite fully capture the happy dance that ensued when Aiden opened his Thomas the Train set.

Christmas Eve 2009

This pretty much sums up Aiden's ability to cooperate during an attempted family photo....

Pretty as a picture.

Snuggles for Nan (Perhaps the best present Brienne could have given!) :-)

Grumpy bear.

After Santa's departure.

Just like Daddy...

I've used this title before, but hey -- the kid wants to be just like Daddy. What else can I say?

Bath Time

Our smiley baby girl is starting to bust out of her infant tub. Hopefully she'll be sitting up without support very soon, so that we can bathe her in the big tub instead. For now, we deal with the flood she creates with all the kicking and splashing as she enjoys her baths to the fullest.

Bored??

Fun with sticky notes..... Poor Brienne....

5 Months Old

Fire Man Dan & Bob the Builder

Cat Nap

Are you looking at ME??

Chippendale??

All he's missing is a gold chain.....

Munch Munch

Like My New Tights??

I finally got to wear my pretty dress that Grammy bought me, since Mommy finally found a pair of warm tights that fit my chunka chunka belly. Apparently she's a size 6-12 months according to Gap standards. Fat babies are happy babies, right?? Speaking of happy babies (and happy MOMMIES), Brienne slept almost 12 hours last night, unswaddled. I'm not bragging, but I AM knocking on wood. I figure if I don't "brag" maybe it will happen again tonight.....

He Still Loves Her....

.....most of the time anyway.

Like Daddy

Aiden informed me this morning that he was "like Daddy" because he had his hands in his pockets. He loves to do anything and everything these days to emulate Sean.

Aspiring Photographer

We have a just a few basics that we need to work through first....

Uncooperative!!!

Not her....

Her brother. The little joker under the hat. Refusing to have his picture taken with his sister once again....

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Helping Daddy

First substantial snow of the season. Aiden LOVED it! (Not to mention it made for some great outdoor shots when Mike came to take pics of the kiddos...)

Snow Angels

You may recognize some of these images from our holiday cards this year. These are also courtesy of Mike. Doesn't he do a great job?!?

Smile Pretty

These shots were taken by a dear friend, Mike Crosby, amateur photographer extraordinaire! Sadly Aiden was a most uncooperative 2 year old that day, so we have precious few shots of the two kids together that came out great. I'll add our extra favorite pics after Christmas, as not to spoil anyone's Christmas present. :-)
