Aiden Turns One

Well, this weekend we ushered in the birthday of our youngest one, Aiden. It was just a small party with one uncle and us but, it was nice. Aiden didn't mind. In a matter of weeks he's gone from quadruped to biped. Yep, he's walking and trying hard to talk. He made a good haul of presents and if his siblings leave his new toys alone long enough, he might even be able to enjoy playing with them. He is such a good boy and he lights up a room with his smile.


We made him a sea turtle cake for his birthday (because his nickname is turtle, when he was little and you held him to the side, his head looked like a turtle). Okay, I realize it's not as spectacular as Isaac's McQueen cake, but I was sick and inspiration didn't hit me until I was done decorating it; so no comments on the lacking design. But, we gave him a big piece and let him at it. Boy did he go after it too! He picked up this HUGE chunck and attempted to shove it all in his mouth. He was a little leary of the ice cream (too cold I think) but he seemed to enjoy the cake. Needless to say he got a bath when he was done. Then he got a birthday haircut too. Not a buzz, just a little off the top and some clean up on the sides.
