Time is flying by these days! I barely have the time to write (so I'm sneaking it in at work, again). The holidays are fastly approaching and I must admit, I can't wait! I am looking forward to another 1st Christmas, even though I know little Aedan won't remember anything.So what is our little guy getting into these days??? The answer is EVERYTHING! We can no longer turn our backs on the little guy, not even for a second. In the blink of an eye he can disappear, crawling at warp speed. We've experienced first boo-boos (cuts on the nose from pulling objects down on top of himself) and our first dirt eating episode (the basil plant, where he ate BOTH the dirt and the plant). He has learned how to crawl up stairs (but not down). He LOVES to pull himself up and stand. He is learning to move about while on his feet, but still very much prefers to crawl. Aedan is easily amused by his big brother often laughing uncontrollably at Tyler's antics. For some reason, Tyler can make little Aedan laugh like nobody else can! It must be the brotherly love.
Tyler is also keeping me busy, of course. We've moved from a very successful football season (Tyler's team one the Championship in their division) to our 2nd year of wrestling. Last year Tyler had an awesome season with a record of 11-1. Our hopes are high for this year as well, but we know that his opponents will be more challenging this year. The overall goal however is that Tyler enjoys the sport, win or lose. Tyler is also having an awesome year in school. Since moving him to a private Montessori school there has been a complete transformation in his willingness to learn! Not once has he come home from school this year and said "I hate it, its borning." (that was the standard response I received everyday last school year).
In other mom news, I went to a Tina Turner concert in November! It rocked, she rocked! I'm trying to cut out a little more "me" time (especially now that I am no longer breastfeeding). Eric is now pretty comfortable being with Aedan alone for extended periods of time, so it's giving me some of my "freedom" back and I am thoroughly enjoying every minute I get! I will try and post more often and with more pictures! Especially with the holiday festivities!
