A is for Apple; B is for Books!

It has taken me awhile to learn how to upload video's onto my blog. I don't know how long the icon has been there but now there is a video attachement (that wasn't there before) and it makes my life so much easier. Now, I don't have to learn how to upload video's from google (which for me, was NOT easy) and all I have to do is click a button. Gotta love it when they make technology so user friendly!

Aidan has always enjoyed books but it seems in the past month, or so, they have truly become a love. He now brings books for us to read to him. His attention span for the books is still not all that long but he loves looking at the pictures. When he is in the mood he will even read the book to you. He already has his favorite books.....that he brings over and over again to be read. It has also become routine that when we are in the car he has a book to read. I am hoping that this continues so that when we are driving for long periods he can amuse himself with his books. For most everyone on both sides of this family will be happy to hear of his love of books.

Yesterday, I gave Aidan his first whole apple. He has had chucks of apple and applesauce but never the whole thing. I have a friend that told me that she use to put her daughter in her high chair and give her an apple just so that she could have some time to get things done during the day. I, of course, loved this idea and when we got home from grocery shopping decided it was time to put this to the test. As you can see, he loved it. At first he wasn't sure what to do with it but after showing him once that he needed to bite into the apple, he was set. He attacked the apple with great force. I wouldn't let go until he was finished. For his first apple attempt Jamie and I were impressed. I would say he ate about half of it.

So far, we have had a relaxing weekend. Jamie and I were able to go out on a date (thanks to Papa B watching Bubs) Friday night. We went for dinner and a movie. We saw The Kingdom. Both of us like it and were happy with the ending. I suppose that won't mean much if you haven't seen the movie yourself:) Yesterday was a day of cleaning and errands. In the evening we made homemade pizza's and had Matt and Heather over. It was great to spend time with them. We always have a good time. Have I mentioned yet, that I am soooo excited that they are having a baby???? Well, I am! I can't wait to meet this little bean. I am trying to decide right now what I think they are having. It is a tough call at this point but maybe a.....oh I can't say.....that just wouldn't be nice:) I guess we will all have to wait and see :) The one thing I do know, without a doubt, is that they both are going to make great parents! We are so excited for you guys!
