update

Here is a quick update. I have not been posting for a while and I am trying to get back in the habit.

Piper did a series of photos on Aidan. They are available for purchase on her zenfolio site. And if anyone is interested in getting a photographer for their family portraits, contact her at: me@piperwatson.com

(shameless plug for my very talented sister)

Aidan is walking, talking and being sassy. He says: Mom, Dad, No, Hiii-yaa!, elephant, magnus. He is currently working on removing all the ornaments from our Christmas tree.

Aidan is still in the 95% on height and has dropped down to the 50% percentile in weight. At his 15th month appointment he weighed 24 pounds.

I'm a bad blogger...

Chewbacca child?

Is this kid a wookie?

Aidan and Magnus

In general, Magnus likes to stay out of reach but close enough to know what is going on with the baby (read: see if there is any food to be passed along). Here he is sitting with Aidan but only because he really wants to be allowed to sit on the sheep skin our Australian friends fave us.

Aidan loves Magnus though!

Reddish Hair?

Play Date

My parents took me to Joss for my first play date.  I think they learned their lesson about finding restaurants that have high chairs.  I enjoyed talking with my new friend Rhys.  I even shared my exersaucer.  

Here is Rhys having some fun.  

Here we are carrying on a great conversation while Magnus makes gross noises.
