The Big Bash....

Poor little Man... Aiden's 2nd birthday was rained-out. The storms rolled in around 10:30 Saturday morning and still haven't left! God had it all under control though. Because of the rain not many could come which was a blessing-in-disguise as we invited those who did show up over to the house! YIKES! I would have freaked if everyone had shown up. We had a nice time though and thankfully Aiden was really too young to understand that he wasn't going to swim!

One whole Month

Wow, time is truly flying by for us. Miss Madeline will be a month old tomorrow and it simply doesn't seem possible! Where did the last four weeks GO? She's a wonderful baby - sleeps well, eats a lot and is becoming very alert. Her big brother simply adores her and if the truth be known - he's too much help!! I've taken a small break from Maddie Dean Photography to be able to enjoy my baby moon and our new family. I'll be back to taking pictures soon though. In the meantime, you all just get to enjoy sneak peaks at my baby girl!

Hope she keeps those baby blues!



Sharing a little snuggle time before naps!


Told you he's a lot of help!


Sweet Kiddos!

MUCH Needed Vacation

I spent the past weekend relaxing with my family on the shores of the Guadalupe River and Lake McQueeney. We rented a quaint little home right on the water and had a blast doing nothing! It was so refreshing to just all be together. With all the kids getting older it's getting more and more difficult to all be in one place at the same time! Even my grandmother made the trip! I was such a bad photographer this weekend, I didn't get a single picture of the property! But, it was nice! My brother brought the boat and a few friends and we spent all day Saturday on the water! Even Aiden bear got a taste of tubing fun! I can't believe that ol Glastron is still going - lots of memories from that boat. I only wish my Papa had been with us... I think we were all in agreement about making this an annual trip!

Enjoy the pictures!

PKS

Most people think the term PK stands for "Preacher's Kid" well in this family it means "Photographer's Kid" and Aiden has a serious case of photographer's kid syndrome. I've come to the conclusion that it's near impossible for me to get a good photograph of my own child! Maybe it's a good thing that I've come to terms with this since I've had it in my head that I'll do the baby's newborn pictures myself - HMPF! Perhaps I should re-think that idea! I tried to take the traditional Blue Bonnet pictures today and it was a disaster. Aiden did not want to cooperate. He's at the age where he thinks Mama's camera is a toy (HARDLY!) and he either wants to finger my lens or wants to look at the back of the screen. He loves to sit in my lap and try to take pictures himself. I got a few pictures taken (none are very good since I was in full - sun) before he ran down the hill and crashed and burned into a tree root!! *sigh* maybe someday I'll have good pictures of my own kiddos!

Close up of his new boo boo - boys will be boys I guess.
It's hard to see here, but there is a raised knot under the scratch!



Does this look like a happy camper to you?



Uh, seems to be a pattern here....


At least Miss M was a bit happier :)


Well... for a little bit anyways....

18 Months

I can't believe my own little guy is already 18 months old. It really seems like last week he was such a tiny newborn - Time does fly! I feel bad that I really haven't been taking many pictures of him lately - I'm such a bad mom. But the truth be told - it's too much of a chore! The kiddo is constantly on the move and most of the shots I get are of his back side or him reaching out to finger my lens! I did make an effort this weekend and ended up with a few good pictures. Nothing over-the-top special, just followed him around after a bath one night and tried to snap a few for the Grandmas!

Enjoy!

Potty Training

Since Aiden loves to have his diaper off and is always interested in putting stuff into the toilet (most recently, a FULL roll of toilet paper) We decided it may be time to adventure into potty training. Wow, I don't know what I'm getting myself into but I do know that I'm not looking forward to paying for two kiddos in diapers so I hope this works He was pretty interested in it last night and did not want to get up! He would get up and carry the potty to another room... he has his own porta-potty and loves it! Mike handed him a magazine and told him that the first rule of potty training 101 was to have a good read before ya get started! He sat there about 5 minutes looking through my photography magazine (yah, I'm brainwashing the kiddo early) Today he actually potty'd in it.. well, sorta. He tried but uh, missed. So it made a bigger mess for me to clean up, but hey, at least we didn't waste a diaper!!
I can't believe my little man is growing up - it's going way too fast.







This is a kiddo after his mommy's heart. Afterall, he is reading a photography magazine!

Aiden's 1st Snow

How fun is it that we actually had a white Christmas?? Well, technically it was a slushy, dirty Christmas day but we had snow before and after, so it's close enough to count! Little man wasn't overly impressed with snow during his 1st outing, but he eventually decided that it wasn't so bad. He liked it so much, it was hard to get him to come back in. I was out there with frozen fingers and could barely press my shutter button, but Aiden was having a blast!

Aiden's 1st Hair Cut

Mike finally talked me into getting Aiden's hair cut. As much as I loved his baby curls, I was tired of people calling him a girl, so I gave in and off to Super Cuts we went! Aiden was a dream child during his 1st cut! He sat there completely still and I think he could have fallen asleep! Just like his daddy, he loves to have his hair played with!




Before Look....









The big cut....

The Pajama Bath

Last night I decided that I'd put some water in the tub and try to find the hole in Aiden's ball pit. I ran to the living room quickly to grab the pit and when I came back my child was going head-first into the tub. He saw water and had to have a part of it... guess it didn't matter that the water was ICE COLD! I was particularly irritated because it was 10 pm and Aiden was dressed for best in his last pair of clean footed-pjs! Argh, that child does the craziest things sometimes. I just took his clothes off, added hot water and let him play. Good news is that I found the leak!
