Family Time

This weekend was GREAT! It started with Friday. Me and Cathy, my mother-in-law, took Aiden to get pictures done again at Wal-Mart. Cathy took Aiden last month to get pictures done because she said he is just to cute not to have pictures done. So Cathy, Mark (father-in-law) and Nate took him to get pictures done when Nate took Aiden for the weekend. The pictures are SUPER cute. Well, after paying way to much money for pictures, Cathy realized that they charged her an extra $10 to belong in this picture club. Well her impression was that she can go in every month and get a free 8x10 picture. Sweet deal for only a one time fee of $10. So me and Cathy took him Friday to get "4 month" pictures done. Well while we were there, we found out that in this club, she could go EVERYDAY if she wanted to, to get a free 8x10. Now that's a real deal!!! So we said there is no reason why we can't take him every month to get at least an 8x10, even if we don't buy any other size. So, we are hoping to do that. 

Saturday was a typical Saturday, just kind of hanging around all day. It was nice. Sunday me, Nate, and Aiden went to the zoo with Matt & Christine (brother and sister-in-law), and their friend Pat and his child Vincent. We had lots of fun. Aiden was much more attentive this time. We went last month to the zoo, and he seemed to like it for the most part. And lately when he sees animals on the tv, he gets really excited so we thought he would really enjoy the zoo this time around. He did, he really seemed to have a good time. My favorite part of the zoo was in the penguin area. I can't remember what the building is called, but inside they have that waterfall thing where like every 30 seconds a rush of water comes over the rocks, hits the top of this glass and slides down into the water below. It's not very big, but if you've never seen it before, it might scare you when it happens. Well, Aiden LOVES, I mean LOVES his bath time! To the point where the last few times he has pretty much soaked my arms because he is splashing his feet so much. So we thought he would enjoy seeing this waterfall thing. Boy were we right. Nate had the video camera ready and we got him on tape. At first it was like he was shocked that the water was coming, then he started to make these noises and would jump like you wouldn't believe! He was so excited about it. We taped him during 4 times of this. It's hilarious! One of these days, I'm going to get it on my computer and post it on facebook so people can see. =)

After the zoo, we drove to my parents house. Aiden had a dr. appointment on Monday so either way I was planning on going and spending the night at my parents Sunday night so I didn't have to worry about traffic on Monday driving to Algonquin for his dr. appointment. My mom couldn't get enough of him. I'm pretty sure dad had a great time with Aiden too. Snuggles (the dog) was SO excited that we were there. As we were leaving on Monday she was actually whinning because we were leaving. We Aiden had his dr. appointment. He now weighs 18.4 lbs!!!!! And he is 27 inches!!! He is such a big boy! =) Dr. said everything is looking good though, we should have nothing to worry about =) 

So we had a very busy, but very fun filled weekend. Hope your weekend was just as great! =)
