Aidan is Fourteen Months Old

Aidan turned fourteen months old today!

Aidan is such a good little boy. He's extremely active, constantly on the go, exploring, playing, getting into trouble. His favorite things to do are wrestle the cat (especially Patches), chase the dog, flush the toilet, open and close doors, and play with the remote control, telephone, and cell phones. He also loves to cuddle with his Mommy, kiss his Daddy, and feed Noah scraps off of his highchair tray. He loves to be tickled, especially under his neck and on his tummy. His laugh is infectious -- I just can't get enough!

So, today, on Aidan's fourteen month birthday, I just want to say I am so very grateful to have him here in my life. Alex and I are so blessed to have such a beautiful, caring, loving, curious boy. I really don't know what I would do without him. When I have hard days, Aidan is always there to make me laugh and give me kisses. He happily shares his favorite treats with me (peanut butter crackers, goldfish, apple juice, graham crackers, and even chocolate cake!).

Aidan is such an extrovert, and I hope he stays that way. He loves to wave to strangers at the mall, in the grocery store, at the museum. And, he even gets a little upset when they don't acknowledge him and wave back! He loves to flirt with the pretty ladies, no matter what their age... he's an equal opportunity flirter! His dimples are so irresistable, we haven't met a girl who wasn't flattered by Aidan's flirting! I think we're going to be in trouble when it's time for Aidan to go to school!

So, on this day, Aidan's fourteen month birthday, I just wanted to say -- "Aidan, I love you more than words can say. You make my life whole. You give the best kisses and hugs and I hope that you'll continue to give me hugs and kisses even when you're a teenager and it's not cool to kiss your mother. You are so special to me, truly a miracle, and that is something that I will never, ever forget. Thanks for being my son. Love Always, Mommy"
